Meaning dovecot, Casa Pombal is a small, cosy guesthouse with a hilltop location in the historical heart of Coimbra, offering travellers a hearty welcome.
This old townhouse is utterly unpretencious and will stir feelings of nostalgia for those student years. This hospitable residence boasts colourful interiors laced with Portuguese charm. Located near the old university, you can enjoy views of the city or over the River Mondego.
Overnight stays include a Dutch breakfast in the breakfast room decorated with fine tiles.
Due to the limited number of rooms, personal care is guarenteed. The dutch manager and her staff are very willing to give lots of local information.
For our guests we have free internetfacilities.
The rooms are basic but comfortable. There are two types of rooms, some with private bathrooms and some with shared bathrooms. Some rooms have beautiful views over the river and old city.
Please note that Casa Pombal is a 100-year-old townhouse in the historical centre; it is not easy accessible for less mobile guests (small stairs and no lift) and the streets around are all cobbled stones.
From Coimbra there are several short trips to make, by car or public transport.
