Our take
I would recommend Palácio São Silvestre for travellers who want history and facilities in the same stay: an 18th-century Baroque palace, a pool, a fitness centre and a padel court. Families and couples both fit. The setting is calmer than the city centre, so it is not the pick for anyone who wants to step straight out into Coimbra's busiest streets after dark.
- Take advantage of the padel tennis court for a fun activity during your stay.
- Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, especially during warmer months when the poolside bar is open.
- Explore the hotel's historic architecture and modern design, a unique blend of old and new.
Why we love it
