What guests think

At Palacio São Silvestre-Boutique Hotel, guests highlight a peaceful countryside setting near Coimbra, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and attractive grounds with a large outdoor pool, making it a relaxing base for visits to the region.

The location is quiet and somewhat remote, with limited nearby dining, so having a car helps. Breakfast is frequently praised, while restaurant feedback is mixed, citing good dinners for some but high prices, small portions, slow service, or disappointing dishes for others. Several guests mention very firm mattresses, intermittent hot water or air-conditioning noise, and occasional dated decor or minor maintenance issues. Overall, expect a serene stay outside the city, especially appealing if you value quiet more than urban convenience.

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.

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.

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.

Hotel com decoração interessante e um restaurante excelente, ótima comida e um serviço impecável. Apenas uma nota para a ementa, que devia ser revista no Português. Foi pena que a cama fosse muito desconfortável, dura como uma tábua. Desafio a gerência a dormir uma noite no 134.... A organização da limpeza também não me pareceu bem feita... De manhã, ainda havia tabuleiros, do jantar nos quartos, no corredor, e estavam a limpar o chão na hora do pequeno almoço, fazendo com que tivéssemos que caminhar no chão molhado e contornar a funcionária. Claramente, uma falha na ordem dos trabalhos. Pessoalmente, julgo que não devia ser um "Boutique Hotel". Ganhavam mais se não se distraissem com detalhes cosméticos.

Na recepção a equipe foi receptiva! Banheiro deveria ser acessível, sem a banheira, pelo risco de queda e poderia ser um chuveiro e não uma ducha como chuveiro! Cama desconfortável (penso que já está na época de ser trocado o colchão). Solicitam para ser avisado o horário do jantar para não ter uma procura grande no mesmo horário mas não é respeitado! Cheguei às 20:30 e só consegui solicitar o pedido às 22:00 horas! Deveriam ser contratados mais profissionais para atender e penso que a cozinha também precisa ser mais ágil! Achei o prato que solicitei muito pequeno pelo valor. Café da manhã com poucas opções e o mamão estava estragado.
