Ricardo is a gem!
We had a wonderful stay at Sophia Studios. Ricardo was the best host. He was helpful with our luggage and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and how to travel around Coimbra on foot. He made dinner reservations for us. His help made our stay wonderful.

Awesome location. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ricardo and Andre. From helping us to and from our rooms to booking our taxi. Then there was a festival this morning with the street closed, so Andre re-routed the taxi and escorted us to the new meeting place. Above and beyond the call of duty!! Thank you!

Excellent location with easy access to cultural activities and transportation. They also accommodated us by safeguarding our luggage and placing it in our room when it was ready because we arrived before the 3pm check in, so we could explore Coimbra.

Location was great - everything walkable and close (waterfront. dining, car rental, train station). Staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a kitchenette (everything needed). The units are small (bed, shower, area to get around the bed), and no elevator. We stayed 3 nights and would stay again.

Great location!
Great location close to historic Coimbra. Be sure to explore the many alley/side streets nearby. Wonderful clean, comfortable, well appointed room. Be sure to have breakfast at O Croisant and an espresso at Santa Cruz Cafe, both just steps away from the front door. Lots of stairs to see the best of Coimbra so bring your walking shoes
