Walter Sereno

A Pensão Santa Cruz está localizada no coração da cidade de Coimbra, e é um negócio familiar que tem tido na sua gerência três gerações da família Duarte .Os nossos clientes são tratados com o carinho familiar que há muitos anos dispensamos aos nossos clientes. Dispomos de quartos com casa de banho privativa e quartos com lavatório e bidé onde a casa de banho é partilhada.

O meu nome é Walter actual gerente, sou o filho mais velho do fundador da Pensão Santa Cruz , tinha doze anos quando o meu pai ficou com este negócio e a minha vida tem sido a ele dedicado. Comigo está a minha esposa o meu irmão Osvaldo e os meus filhos

Sancho I. - Situada num zona denominada "Baixa de Coimbra" e ladeada por ruas estreitas onde outrora o comercia florescia, hoje ainda é uma zona comercial e de restauração, onde se podem encontrar passear e comprar as sempre bonitas recordações da cidade dos "estudantes". - Na baixa da cidade é uma boa área de animação cultural onde o fado se pode escutar no "Café Santa Cruz", no "Fado ao Centro" junto do Arco de Almedina , na "Capella" e em mais alguns locais, com um pouco de sorte pode ainda encontrar alguma tuna (grupo de estudantes que cantam), fado na rua ... a Baixa é ainda um espaço Onde há varias feiras durante o ano, saliento a "Feira das antiguidades (Praça do Comércio) ,no ultimo sábado de cada mês,Feira dos
