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. Every morning you get to relish a platter of regional delicacies, and then embark on a journey to explore the ancient city. You can wander through the hodgepodge of buildings and narrow streets, visualizing the Baroque Cathedrals, and then head to Coimbra's Old Cathedral. Just at a walkable distance from the hotel, this 12th-century cathedral is a prominent landmark that boasts a marvelous display of Romanesque architecture.

Furthermore, the hotel leads you on an expedition to discover the stories and legends surrounding Coimbra's sights. Quinta das Lagrimas, a 15-hectare heavenly estate, can be reached quickly from the hotel. This former Royal residence with its tenderly kept gardens will fill your heart with warmth and offer you gorgeous scenes full of meaning. The centennial Barbican Gate, which epitomizes Portugal's heritage, is also a short distance away from the hotel. One can experience the living history of this gateway, complete with its vertical imprints and robust structure. Sapientia Boutique Hotel embodies Coimbra's attractiveness, inviting guests to delve into the eternal traditions of this enchanting city.

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.
