Relaxing hotel set in beautiful grounds.

Palace Sao Silvestre is an easy 10min drive from the heart of Coimbra and it was an oasis to return to. This hotel is a very relaxing place to stay. Beautiful pool to cool down in or relax sitting by, picnic next to a vineyard, breakfast in the dining room or out on the patio and bar/dining on site; food & service were great. Loved that it is surrounded by lovely grounds available for use to guests.

Nice spacious rooms. Had lots of facilities like swimming pool etc, but were not explained at the time of check-in. Clean and breakfast was good with good selection. Missing - tea/coffee percolator in the rooms. The earliest you could have a beverage was when the restaurant opened - 10 am. Restaurant for other meals - tried dinner once and decided to avoid and rather go to a couple of smallish restaurants in the vicinity. Check out - had a poor experience. Came to the front desk (5:30 am) and told the reception person (Ricky) that I would come in 10 minutes and wanted him to have my bills ready. Came and no one was at the reception! Had to wait and ring the desk bell repeatedly for over 15 minutes (time was of the essence since had a flight from Lisbon). So in short bad checkout experience.

We did not find anything unique about the property. The privacy of the room was very poor, it was a ground floor and only a glazed window in the bathroom where everyone could walk past ( and did) the same could be said for the bedroom but did have curtains.

HOTEL EXCEPCIONAL!

Um capítulo a parte este Hotel. Que conforto e lugar encantador. Fora da cidade grande, um refugio! Os funcionarios sao maravilhosos. Super atenciosos e compreensivos. O restaurante deles também é maravilhoso. Comida feita no capricho com apresentação impecável. O lado externo do hotel é sensacional, piscina, jardim e quadra convidam ao descanso.

Lindo mas incompleto

O Hotel é Lindo e muito bem decorado. A única restrição que me parece inaceitável é que os quartos não tem Ar Refrigerado, só calefação e como estava calor na noite que me hospedei, apesar das janelas abertas o quarto estava com uma temperatura inadequada para dormir.

Experiência ruim.

Na recepção a equipe foi receptiva! Banheiro deveria ser acessível, sem a banheira, pelo risco de queda e poderia ser um chuveiro e não uma ducha como chuveiro! Cama desconfortável (penso que já está na época de ser trocado o colchão). Solicitam para ser avisado o horário do jantar para não ter uma procura grande no mesmo horário mas não é respeitado! Cheguei às 20:30 e só consegui solicitar o pedido às 22:00 horas! Deveriam ser contratados mais profissionais para atender e penso que a cozinha também precisa ser mais ágil! Achei o prato que solicitei muito pequeno pelo valor. Café da manhã com poucas opções e o mamão estava estragado.
