About Us
Let’s make this space your home
Casa da Torre is more than just a place to stay: it’s a space where the history of Viseu comes to life. Housed in the tower where José Coelho—one of the city’s most prominent figures—once lived, we preserve the legacy of a man who dedicated his life to research, teaching, and promoting local heritage.
Here, every floor, every architectural detail, and every object has a story to tell. The tower, with its three stories and Revivalist style, blends Romanesque, Manueline, and Gothic influences, creating a unique atmosphere that transports our visitors to different eras of art history.
At the same time, we offer all modern amenities to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Themed rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, a minibar, a safe, a kettle, and a clock radio—combined with high-speed internet and a cozy outdoor garden—make Casa da Torre the perfect balance between tradition and contemporary comfort.
We offer free private parking. And for those curious about the life and work of José Coelho, we open the doors to the house’s library, where part of his personal collection is housed.
Our Essence
The essence of Casa da Torre stems from the intersection of memory, culture, and hospitality. We are the guardians of a story that deserves to be told and, at the same time, hosts dedicated to providing authentic and welcoming experiences.
We believe that every stay should be more than just a brief visit: it should be a moment of discovery. Here, guests don’t just rest—they connect with the past, explore the personality of José Coelho, feel the power of the tower that welcomed him, and enjoy an environment designed with meticulous attention to detail to inspire tranquility, curiosity, and well-being.
Our essence is rooted in respect for history, a passion for heritage, and a dedication to the comfort of our guests. We want every person who enters Casa da Torre to take with them not only fond memories, but also a little of the soul of this unique place.
