The host Sophia is very accommodating, very quick to reply if questions. The actual home is fantastic with professional decor. Location is perfect, 30 mins from Coimbra, 15 mins to a beautiful town of Penacova with everything you would need. Coico is a tiny, quiet village where you are happy to return after a day of exploring. We would highly recommend staying.

It was a real pleasure having you both at Casa 5A, and I would be delighted to welcome you back anytime, or perhaps some of your friends 🌻
Wishing you both a wonderful holiday through southern Portugal. Enjoy every moment and let me know if you enjoyed my tips! ☺️😘
We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years, but this was without a doubt the most beautiful one we have ever experienced. The house is tastefully designed, beautifully decorated, and finished to an exceptionally high standard. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home – in fact, it's the kind of place you could happily live in permanently.Everything has been carefully thought through. From the whisper-quiet fan in the bedroom, which ensured a perfect night's sleep, to the beautiful barbecue, an excellent coffee machine, a large fridge with freezer compartment, a drying rack, and lovely ambient lighting. Every detail reflects the care and attention the owner has put into making her guests feel comfortable.The location is just as perfect. It is an ideal base for exploring the region, while still allowing you to enjoy the peace and authenticity of rural Portugal, surrounded by nature. Exactly what we were looking for.The owner made our stay even more special with her genuine hospitality. She welcomed us personally when we arrived and came to say goodbye when we left. She took a sincere interest in getting to know us, and even had fresh coffee waiting for us upon arrival. This kind of personal warmth is something you rarely experience.This stay exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories that we will cherish for a long time. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place to anyone looking for peace, comfort, quality, and truly exceptional hospitality

I am only just beginning my journey on VRBO, so a review like yours means more than you can imagine. I’m sure it will help other travellers discover Casa 5A, but what makes me happiest is the thought that it may also attract kind, curious and appreciative people like you.
Meeting guests from all over the world is one of the things I love most about hosting. It is so much more than simply welcoming people into a house, it’s about sharing a place I have created with love and having the privilege of getting to know wonderful people along the way. Guests like you are exactly why I try to make every stay as special as possible.
Thank you again for your generosity, your warmth and your beautiful words.
