Quinta das Lágrimas
Garden lodgings in historic Coimbra





Sited a short stroll from the historic town centre of Coimbra, this 52-key hostelry boasts a trio of experiential accommodations to its 18th-century pile. Taking in the verdant gardens from the Garden Wing, soaking up the historicity within the Palace building itself, or a rejuvenating unwind in the modern Spa Wing, the transformative experience extends to the seasons also, from summertime dining al fresco amid the hotel’s lush gardens to cosy winter retreats beside a crackling fireplace. Onsite, the Quintas das Lágrimas Golf Academy offers 9 holes of pitch-and-putt practise.
