    We were met immediately by the host when we were dropped off in front of the historic Cathedral. The apartment was a short walk from there. They supplied shampoo and coffee pods for the espresso machine, which is not common for the majority of...

    The position is perfect to walk around the city. The department was lovely and Nuno was very very kind. The view is fantastic. There was also the crib for our 8 months baby. If you have a car the parking is very near to the apartment.

This is a refurbished apartment, located in Alta of Coimbra, a "UNESCO World Heritage" site and offers a wonderful view of Coimbra and the Mondego River. The apartment will offer you an unique and unforgettable experience.
We are born and raised in Coimbra, brother and sister and we decided to rebuilt a family apartment to be able to show in an authentic and unique way the beautiful city that is Coimbra. We look forward to hosting you and we will be always available to help if needed throughout your stay.
The Old Cathedral, or Se Velha, is a must-see for any visitor to Coimbra, Portugal. Located in the upper area of the city, amongst the steep narrow streets and university complex, the Old Cathedral dates back to the reign of King Afonso Henriques and is built in Romanesque style that is prevalent in much of Portugal’s architecture of the time. Coimbra - Old Cathedral - Se Velha The cathedral was built during the second half of the 12th century and was consecrated in 1184. The Old Cathedral is one of the most important Romanesque churches in Portugal. Its construction at the instigation of King Afonso Henriques was to mark his declaration of himself as the King of Portugal, following his victory in the battle of Ourique in 1139, and his choice of Coimbra as his capital. A visit to the cathedral is completed with a visit to the Chapel of the Sacred Sacrament, which was restored in the 16th century following the Mannerist style of the time, by Joao de Ruao, who was also responsible for the lovely Porta Especiosa. The Old Cathedral is located on Largo da Se Velha, in Coimbra’s old town, and is open for visitors daily from 10am to 6pm, with limited visits during services.
