Nice hotel
Pros:

The old part of the hotel is gorgeous. Stunning grounds and location perfect to get into Coimbra. Staff at breakfast very friendly.

Cons:

Some staff not as friendly. The pools were not open all the time which was frustrating. The Turkish bath was not working either. Cleaners left lots of their trollies and equipment in front of rooms and difficult to negotiate

Fantastic place to stay- an oasis in a busy city
Pros:

This was a wonderful oasis in a busy city, far enough away to be quiet and residential but we could still walk to the city centre.

Traumhotel in Spitzenlage mit eigenem historischen Park
Pros:

Das Hotel ist außergewöhnlich in seiner Verbindung der historischen Räume mit einem herrlichen Park und dem sehr aufmerksamen Personal, großzügiger Swimmung Pool und SPA noch außer Betracht gelassen, eigentlich würde
Man es eine besondere Kategorie für einen luxuriöses Wohlort verdienen, der zugleich in seinem Restaurant eine sehr hohe Qualität bereitstellt

Cons:

Nichts
