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 honours Portugals 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. Each season offers a different experience. Throughout the summer the verandas welcome guests after a day spent relaxing by the pool, and the garden becomes a dining room for meals alfresco. In spring the Quinta witnesses the rebirth of Nature, and the botanical garden takes centre stage. With autumn, the green canopy gives way to a palette of earth tones as the leaves change colour. Come winter and the hotel grows even cosier: Glittering fireplaces warm body and soul, and the Christmas spirit makes magic throughout the hotel. |

The hotel offers 3 different atmospheres: the palace, garden and spa guest rooms. The palace rooms, which once accommodated the Duke of Wellington and the King Miguel of Portugal, have the charm and romanticism of days gone and offer a stay in history. Offering direct access to our serene botanical garden, the garden rooms overlook the stage for the love affair of Pedro and Inês. The modernly designed spa rooms boast individual jacuzzis and offer stunning views of the Quinta’s woods and Coimbra. The palace has several rooms and verandas that offer perfect retreats to read or enjoy a quiet conversation. The Quinta’s library, completely covered with panels of exotic woods, has thousands of ancient books that narrate the history of Portugal and of the family that for centuries has welcomed guests in this Estate of Tears. |

Our cuisine uses traditional ingredients of this region to create exquisite recipes that we refresh 4 times per year with the rhythm of the seasons. It is a “market cuisine” because it uses only the freshest ingredients available. Our chefs use vegetables and herbs organically grown on our own grounds. In our restaurant, Arcadas da Capela, that has one Michelin star, you will be able to savour aromatic herbs from our chef’s garden and oranges, lemons and avocados from our orchard, as well as the raspberries and wild watercress that grow all over the Quinta. Our other restaurant, Aqua, offers a casual dining experience and a Latin food concept. The gastronomy at Quinta das Lágrimas is the delicious result of the collaboration between our chef, Albano Lourenço, and our consultant chef, Joachim Koerper. During their careers, Albano and Joachim have worked in restaurants that total 16 Michelin stars. |

Coimbra, the ancient capital of Portugal, is one step beyond the Quinta’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 Porto, Coimbra is an indispensable stop for all those who travel in search of the real Portugal. Coimbra’s surrounding region is so rich in monuments and cultural traditions that it deserves a thorough visit. Around the city you’ll find Roman ruins, white sand beaches, semi-virgin mountains, nature reserves, castles, and convents. |

Quinta das Lágrimas is much more than just a charming hotel. The comfort of its rooms and suites is complemented by a medieval legend of love. It was at the Quinta that in the 14th century Prince Pedro and Inês de Castro lived their forbidden love affair. Legend says that it was here that Inês cried for the last time, while being pierced by the daggers of the killers sent by King Afonso, Pedro’s father. Her blood still colours the stone-bed of the fountain that was born of her tears- the tears that gave the name to this romantic estate. Quinta das Lágrimas is an astonishing hotel that offers all you could hope for in an exclusive luxury hotel. | |
