The city of Coimbra is approximately 30 minutes by car.

The floor in the kitchen has recently been retiled to fit in with the existing décor. The kitchen has a stainless steel sink, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, microwave and fridge freezer. Just off the kitchen is the utility room with washing machine, and a further door to a fully-tiled bathroom with W.C. and basin. From the kitchen you pass though glazed double doors into a cosy lounge that has a wood burner and pátio-style doors that open onto the courtyard. The lounge has a terracotta tiled floor and a storage space under the bespoke pine staircase.
