Conímbriga Ruins

I really wish we had stayed two nights. If you're looking for something different before heading to the airport: don't hesitate, book this hotel. Wonderful host, truly original concept, clean, spacious. The kids and we loved it.

This apartment was fantastic. Exceeded my best expectations. The living space was large enough to accommodate 2 very comfortable twin beds, a dining room table and chairs, a kitchen nook that had a stove top, oven, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, etc, dishes, glasses, silverware, lots of cooking utensils etc, small refrigerator, dishwasher and just about anything you might need. Everything about the apartment was immaculate. There was a lovely deck with a table and chairs. The wall off the deck was a lovely wall of patio glass doors that could be covered with solid doors for privacy and light elimination. The bathroom was very large and had a great shower that was also quite large. The hot water took a few minutes to happen; but, be patient because once it comes, it’s fantastic. Towels were great. The facility had a fun spacious lower level with tables, pool table and a kitchen nook, water dispenser and computers. It is located on a hill; but, it’s worth the climb. There’s a wonderful coffee shop Heim just down the hill, not too far. We felt the location was great; as, besides the coffee shop, there were lots of restaurants and a grocery store, also. I especially loved that there was a beautiful, historic Catholic Church only about a 5 minute walk away. The communications with the staff were very quick, professional, accommodating and attentive. The security code to get in was easy to use. It also has an elevator or you can use the stairs.

The room itself is beautiful (so white, spacious and full of storage). Check-in was slightly unclear but the host was super helpful. The location was ok: convenient for buses but not exactly at the heart of the action. Still, a great place that I would recommend.
