"A contemporary hotel that respects what was left behind by the past"

Coimbra is part of the history of Portugal and also represents the future, as it is in this city that is one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Discover the places that breathe Fado de Coimbra and enjoy, get inspired and know Portugal in its intimacy and authenticity.
This is a project shared by two couples: André Sardet and Catarina Mesquita Dutra and José Manuel Portugal and Maria Israel Portugal. With areas as diverse as music, engineering, journalism and teaching, they shared the same challenge of restoring three interconnected buildings with architecturally distinctive features and transforming them into a personalized hotel. With a lot of decoration on the basis of the books, once we are in a privileged area at the level of knowledge, this project also wanted to incorporate the wine and so every day at 6 pm, when the university bell rings, guests know that it is the wine time
