Casa Pombal has small, modestly furnished but comfortable rooms. Because it isn't a big hotel, the staff can provide you with personalised service. We are pleased to provide you with local information during your stay here.

Rooms are basic but comfortable. There are two types of rooms, some with private bathrooms and some with shared bathrooms. Some rooms have beautiful views over the river and old city.

Overnight stays include Dutch breakfast in the breakfast room, which is decorated with fine tiles.

From Coimbra there are several short trips to make, by car or public transport.

By Taxi:
- Take a taxi from the station for around EUR 5, as Casa Pombal has a hill top location.

By Car:
- Follow the signs for Centro and Praça da Republica till you come to a large avenue (Sa da Bandeira).
- At that avenue, turn into Padre Antonio Vieira.
- At the top of that road (before a sharp curve to the left) park your car around there.
- Then walk into the Rua da Matematica and at the bottom you will find Rua das Flores.

Please note that Casa Pombal is a 100-year-old townhouse in the historical centre. It is not easily accessible for less mobile guests (small stairs, 3 floors and no lift) and the streets around are all cobbled stones.
