    It is a well placed hotel, which operates a hot buffet style dinner and breakfast. It can be a bit crowded at times but the food is good basic fare.

    Large extensive breakfast. Not gourmet but lots of choices. Rooms were clean and the pool was lovely.
  • Cristina
    The experience was great! It was our first time in Coimbra (2 hour drive from Braga) and we weren't sure where a "perfect" location would be but Vila Gale turned out to be perfect. Just a mere 8-10 min pleasant walk to downtown and quick 4 min...
