Dear fellow traveler, let me tell you about Sapientia Boutique Hotel in Coimbra through the prism of your interests. Imagine this hotel as a compass, guiding and pointing you towards the treasures of historic Coimbra's landmarks.
Situated just steps away from Biblioteca Joanina, the baroque-style library that could be deemed as a gleaming jewel of Coimbra's University, the Sapientia Boutique Hotel resembles a treasure trove in itself.

Value for money
Marvellous and unbeatable location in the very quiet area, near to Coumbra's Old Town as well as Coimbra. For shots visit Tapas nas Costas, nestled within 10 minutes' walk of the hotel.
Exceptional service, a really nice restaurant on site. New-fashioned and delightful room with the entire bathroom, competent staff. Variety of tasty food at breakfast time. In a perfect and comfortable location, 10 minutes' walk to train.
We had a really good stay in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel, it was stylish and perfectly clean. The room was incredible and light with balcony, great views from the bathroom, comfortable bed. The staff was attentive, the service was excellent, they shared some useful information.
Their staff were not so friendly.
