The Building
Located in the Praça da República area, near the most important landmarks of the city of Coimbra, this property has housed the current owners’ family since 1970.
Since 1970, part of the house has been used to rent rooms to university students. The other part served for many years as an annex of a public institution, functioning as office space.
The property, over 100 years old, has witnessed numerous student events and celebrations, visits from Presidents of the Republic, and the construction (in 1958) of the headquarters of the oldest student association in the country, the - Associação Académica de Coimbra.
It is located on Rua Padre António Vieira, one of the main access routes to the University of Coimbra, its faculties, and the Historic Center, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The lower floors (ground floor and basement) were renovated about 7 years ago, prioritizing the preservation of the building’s original materials. All rooms are original, maintaining the existing layout.
These two floors were fully restored, with new water, sewage, and electrical infrastructure installed. They are also equipped with central air conditioning, fire detectors, and emergency signage.
The upper floors (1st floor and attic), although not yet renovated, are in good habitable condition.
It is worth highlighting that there are two separate entrances to the building: one for student accommodation and another for the Guest House, ensuring no interaction between students and tourists.

The 2 upper floors serve as accommodation for female university students, a use maintained since 1970.
