'Story Studio' Coimbra Centro

The 'Story Studio' Coimbra Centro is located in the historic area of Coimbra, near the Arco de Almedina and 450 meters from Coimbra A Railway Station, within the Walled City. This location is ideal for tourism and walks through historic areas such as the Sé Velha, the Church of Santa Cruz, and the University of Coimbra.

The one-bedroom apartment guarantees a comfortable stay, offering Wi-Fi internet service and a TV with over 100 channels. Additionally, it has a balcony where you can have your breakfast and relax after visiting the city's monuments and museums.

Almedina, also called "Alta," was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2013. The Sé Velha, where the Monumental Serenade of Queima das Fitas takes place, is 160 meters from the apartment, and the University of Coimbra is 500 meters away. Nearby, you will find restaurants, Fado houses, and street shops, making it very convenient for guests who wish to visit the city's historic area.

Although parking is limited and paid in the vicinity of the historic center, the nearest covered public parking lot is about 600 meters away, specifically Bragaparques.

According to the municipal regulations of Coimbra, a tourist tax of 1.00 euro per person, per night, is applied during your stay. It is important to note that this tax is limited to a maximum of three consecutive nights. Therefore, for longer stays, the tax will be applied only for the first three nights.

Clean and cute in the heart of Coimbra
Our second stay here. Great location. Clean and well equipped. We didn’t cook- so no comments on kitchen but looked good. Nice deck. Good communication. Lots of steps - Portugal is not made for folks with mobility challenges.

Coimbra Stay
Over the years, we have rented many VRBO properties. Without question, this was one of, if not THE best property we have stayed in. The renovation of the apartment was high end. No corners were cut. It is very well done. We only stayed one night but we wish we would have stayed longer. Not only is the rental property a great place but we thoroughly enjoyed Coimbra. A complimentary welcome basket consisting of milk, eggs, oranges, bread, cheese, water, coffee, and other items was provided. We rented five VRBO properties while in Portugal and none of the other properties provided this. We like to dine in occasionally and this was wonderful for our breakfast. The only downside is that parking was not very convenient. We found this to be true at four of the five properties we rented. There is no parking at the unit itself. You will need to park in a public garage. The management company provided us garage options. The garage we were in was a 5-8 minute walk away.

Great location
As a solo traveler I felt very safe here even when I came in after dark .And that's a plus in my book .2 doors to get in which ads security. .very clean and spacious. 2 options on where to get off of train do yourself a favor take a cab it takes you up the hill can't take you all the way to the apartment since cars aren't allowed it's a short downward walk to room . Really to far from the train station pulling luggage and the taxie was well worth the 5 euro I spent. Then when you get to the apartment there is about 25 steps to go up and for me I would have had a hard time finding the place on my own the first time. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area. To the owners probably and extra dish towel or some paper towels would be a great addition. Owner was very helpful and responded very quickly.

Lovely Area, Thoughtfully Equipped Apt
Great kitchen, walking distance to University, water, shops, cafés, restaurants. Kind owner left books to read on Portugal and local touring sites. Comfortable, clean bedding and exceptional towels to indulge in deep bath after a day climbing the hills and stairs of the town. Only downside was a little active nightlife outside; but perfect if that is your scene. Great spot!

Great Space, Great Host...Fantastic Time
Conveniently and centrally located in Old Coimbra, we felt like we were in the middle of everything with a quiet and comfortable oasis to rest in. Close to busses and attractions we had no trouble getting around and enjoying the city. Eat at Ze Manel dos Ossos, treat yourself at Chocolateria Equador and enjoy the Fado echoing through the streets at night. Marcia is a very attentive and responsive host. Her generous spirit made our visit that much more pleasant. We recommend Story Studio and would definitely stay again.

We loved the location and loved the apartment! The alley was a little loud at night so o had to keep my bedroom windows closed. I didn’t like that since there’s no AC but other than that it was wonderful! Marcia, the hostess, was awesome!!
