Nature, charm, history, elegance, experiences.... this is the essence of Quinta das Lágrimas (Estate of Tears), a hotel with soul and character, a retreat of comfort that honors Portugal's rich traditions of hospitality and gastronomy. For centuries a private sanctuary that welcomed kings and emperors, the Quinta das Lágrimas Hotel is now open to all those that appreciate the art of fine living and to those that want to discover the love legend of prince Pedro and the fair Inês de Castro.

In the Quinta das Lágrimas Hotel's restaurant "Arcadas", prized with one Michelin star, you will be able to savor aromatic herbs from the chef’s garden and oranges, lemons and avocados from the orchard, as well as the raspberries and wild watercress that grow all over the "quinta". The "Bamboo Garden" spa is a sanctuary of peace and serenity that offers a series of treatments aimed at promoting relaxation and well-being for mind and body. The spa boasts an indoor pool, treatment rooms (massages, aromatherapies, etc), sauna and Turkish bath and a fitness room.

Coimbra, the ancient capital of Portugal, is one step beyond the Quinta das Lágrimas Hotel’s gates, offering a thousand years of history, countless artistic treasures, and one of the world’s oldest universities. Coimbra is also a city of poets, of scholars and students, and of Fado, that nostalgic tune that is the mirror image of Portugal. Halfway between Lisbon and Oporto, Coimbra is an indispensable stop for all those who travel in search of the real Portugal.
