Good location. Transfers were excellent, with a valuable tour included. Nice to get local restaurant recommendations.

Annette Spain

The host Carlos and his son Ismail were excellent on communication, maintaining contact during the reservation period and arrangements for check in (which was conducted personally by Carlos). Clear instructions were given to us about where to meet the host. From Casa da Alegria we were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit in Coimbra. Carlos provided a map and information to assist us for restaurants, Fado experience, the Botanic Garden and the university. We had the top floor apartment which had a terrace with seating and a beautiful view of the river and beyond. The apartment was immaculately clean. The host was able to allow us a later departure and helped us with our luggage

Patricia Australia

Clean and comfortable apartment in a great location and with fantastic views. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Recommended!

Chris Portugal

The location was perfect. The apartment was perfectly clean and completely equipped. And that was really important, because my luggage was lost on the way to Portugal, and I unexpectedly needed a washing and drying machine. The hosts are very nice and willing to help.

Maja Serbia

Great location. Well equipped and comfortable. Secure parking close by. Owner couldn’t have been more helpful.

Roger United Kingdom

Excellent location in the old town; superlative host, who collected and returned us to the train station. The accommodation was an open-plan flat with small en-suite bathroom kitchenette which was well equipped withh toaster, microwave oven, utensils and cleaning equipment. It was well insulated from external noise.

David United Kingdom

convenient location for seeing everything we wanted. very friendly and helpful owners.

Rachel United Kingdom

most welcoming & hospitable host, simple & clean, good location just under the old city & university, opportunity to park car for extra 9euros.

Limore Israel

The owners of the apartment was very nice and helpful.the facilities were very clean and comfortable.

Avraham Israel

We were picked up at the train station by the owner's son; it was the perfect introduction to our wonderful stay. He drove us around Coimbra a little to give us a flavour of this beautiful town, before showing us the apartment and how everything works.
