Coimbra – Bændagistingar

We loved everything about Oryza Guest House! The warm welcome, the charming home and lovely grounds. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Such a beautiful place! if we are ever back in Coimbra, we will stay here again.

The property is a farm house away from the city. The owner, a husband and wife greeted us upon arrival, took us in the house - it was built in the late 16th century, lots of antique furniture. there are vineyards, a small orchid with many fruit trees, a vegetable garden and lots of flowers in the farm; dogs, cats and 1 goat. Old country roses and tulips were blooming when we arrived; and it was still too cold to enjoy the gorgeous salt water swimming pool. They greeted us every time we went in and out of the property. Embroidered bed linen was ironed; towels perfumed. After the first night stay, our bed was quickly remade with 2 chocolate on the pillows; towels were replaced with new ones. all napkins were embroidered and ironed to perfection. Breakfast was at the family table full of crystals to display and use, the owner cooked fluffy scrambled eggs, with pretty yogurt bowl, juices and pastries, coffee and tea. My husband normally didn't eat sweets or pastry at all but he had so much of everything as everything was so pretty and we felt special. The farm was 15-20 mins drive to the University, we had a car so it wasn't an issue; parking in town was very easy. We went with owner's recommendation for restaurants for both nights, they even called and made a reservation for us; both were absolutely amazing. The hospitality is outstanding, we really appreciate everything!
