Vila Julieta Guesthouse

Wow! This guesthouse was simply stunning, we were only in Coimbra for one night to visit the University and this was the perfect spot to stay. The owners Sonia and Jonah were welcoming, so helpful with plans, recommendations and the breakfast was fabulous rivaled any 5 star hotel I've stayed at. The room was immaculate and well appointed and bed very comfortable, unfortunately due to the rain we couldn't take advantage of the garden but was able to try some fresh picked fruit right from the garden. Lovely experience--well done Sonia and Jonah!

My husband and I stayed here along with another couple in September. We could not have been more pleased with everything about our stay. Right from the welcome greeting we knew we were in for a treat. My husband and I had a lovely room across from the kitchen. We faced a small garden of orange trees which when you're from Canada, feels like a dream view. The other couple had a room on the upper floor facing the grassy back yard. Both rooms were relatively quiet. The beds were the most comfortable beds we slept in during our six different stays in Portugal. The owners of this guest house have done an incredible job renovating an old ruin into a lovely, bright and warm place to stay. The rooms are well appointed with nice linens and toiletries. Breakfast is substantial and served in a bright welcoming room. The food was excellent. Vila Julieta is centrally located. We had a car but didn't use it at all during our two night stay as we were able to walk everywhere. Granted the guest house is at the top of a hill but if you're in decent shape, it's an easy hike up and down to get to the central shopping/eating areas and to walk along the riverfront. The best part of staying at Vila Julieta are the owners and their gorgeous young daughter. They are the sweetest people you could meet and they will make sure you have a nice stay in Coimbra. Do not miss the bakery down the street. The prices are amazing and the quality of the baked goods is exceptional.
