Such a beautiful little village in the hills near Coimbra. Great parking in the front, plenty of room for 2-3 couples and the swimming pool was the perfect way to end a day of exploring Coimbra. Coffee, juice, cookies & fruit were provided by the host. The nearby restaurant of Dom Franguito had the best chicken we have ever eaten. We happened to be in Villa Verde during a festival & met many of the locals who were so friendly & gracious. I highly recommend this house!

We were well looked after. The area is beautiful.

From Ricardo’s great communication throughout, to our initial reception and terrific guidance, to the lovely generosity of the home’s owners- we loved our stay in Vila Verde. Felt a little part of the community for a week! Easy trip into Coimbra and then made a number of day trips from there. Great market and bakery nearby, coffee shops and several restaurants too. House was very comfortable- pool and front and back gardens were wonderful! We will recommend!

Very clean and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The house was very cozy and nice.

We loved our stay in Vila Verde - it’s a lovely little village and we met very friendly people. The small épicerie on the left sold excellent bread and fruit so we were able to get basic supplies. Ricardo’s recommendation of Franguitos as a nearby casual dinner was great - perfect after a day’s travelling. His mother greeted us and was delightful- we both had a bit of French in common so communicated just fine. It’s an easy drive into Coimbra and we went exploring there for two out of our three days. It was nice to relax and rest-up back at the apartment which has a lovely garden and outdoor seating on one side and the pool on the other. The solar heating of the pool works a treat. All in all, highly recommended.

We had a more than lovely stay here. Luxury is found in the private pool, airconditioned bedrooms and fully stocked kitchen, but it is really the personal service, homey atmosphere and warm feeling than totally won us over. Our family could not have wished for a better place. Sure, it is a bit far away (i.e., 20 mins by car) from bigger shopping and dining opportunities, but that can (and for us was) a plus.

We spent four nights here while touring Coimbra, Obidos, Nazare, and Conimbriga. It was a good location for visiting them all (Obidos and Nazare a bit far but not difficult). The home is spacious, clean, and all the appliances work well. Peaceful country view, charming neighborhood mixed with old and new homes, farm fields. Refreshing swimming pool. BEST VRBO HOSTS we've ever had. They greeted us with fresh fruit and juice, and lots of information about the area. Excellent restaurant recommendations (do not miss the cod dish in the restaurant called Quinta da Palmeira near the home). Note: driving to the house is a little tricky with a few narrow twists and turn. Do not take a large car there. Our Citroen hatchback did fine.
