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 next to, 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.

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.
Staff were helpful, the room was clean and parking was on site which was nice. The grounds around the hotel were quite nice which had many orange and lemon trees loaded with fruit.
Pool was being cleaned when we were there and we would not go into the pool even though staff said that we could. It was quite dirty.
The hotel is about a 20 minute ride into the heart of Coimbra. We would recommend a taxi or Uber since parking is very hard to find in Coimbra.
Nice hotel, rooms are a bit outdated but clean. Room with good terrace with poolside view. Pool is big and very nice and clean. The area is very quiet and no restaurants in the village itself. The hotel reataurant offers good food.

We liked the fact we were away from the city. the property was spacious with very nice pool. Even had a tennis court and padel court which was a nice surprise. They should advertise about them.

The hotel is old and the room smelled terrible due to thw carpet. We had trouble sleeping becauae the small was intense. The staff were attentive and nice, but we can't recommend this hotel unless it has an upgrade.
Nice clean and spacious room. It was warm enough. Low marks for the restaurant food even though the service was fine. Don’t trust the Google map to get you there!
This was the second time that we stayed at Palacio São Silvestre. We really enjoy it here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is good and allergy friendly and the staff is friendly. And it's a perfect location for some peace and quiet, while being close to the city of Coimbra.
There are a few small things that could use some attention, like the water in the shower turning from cold to hot, then to cold and hot again, or things not hanging straight. But these are no reasons to stay away from this hotel. We will come back when we want to visit Coimbra and the centre of Portugal again.
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.
Nice property but not modernized. Even suite didn’t have a desk or convenient outlets. Service was not as friendly as most hotels in Portugal, and we had to remind them to fill bath soap containers. Breakfast was not up to what it should be. Difficult to get bolt/uber at some times.
The pool and tennis courts beautiful. They may have worst gym I've ever used. Breakfast/restaurant average. Of the boutique hotels we stayed in in Portugal it was lower end
