“Quinta das Lágrimas” is an oasis of peace and tranquility in the Centre of Coimbra. Its 20 acres of gardens, enriched with rare and exotic species of trees, form a botanic museum, which protects the guests from the outside world. The city, with all its artistic treasures to be explored, opens up before the gates of the Quinta. Coimbra, one of the most historic cities in the country, formerly the capital of Portugal, has one of the oldest Universities in the world.
Coimbra it is called the“Museum City” because of the wealth of its architectural and cultural heritage. It is the city of poets, scholars and students, and of Fado, that nostalgic music which is a mirror of Portugal. On the outskirts of Coimbra are the Roman ruins of Conimbriga, which show marked evidence of the Roman presence in the Iberian Peninsula. Less than 40 km away there are white sand beaches, semi-untouched mountains, natural reserves ( the marshes of Arzila and Montemor-o-Velho, Margaraça Forest, etc.), castles and convents.
The cuisine of “Quinta das Lágrimas” is inspired by the manor´s old recipes, in order to create imaginative and tasty dishes. It is based on fresh ingredients harvested in the region which are transformed into masterpieces of traditional Portuguese gastronomy, with the knowledge and imagination of our chefs. To complement this, there is a wine list composed of more than 200 vintages of the best wines from Portuguese vineyards, and also a few small rarities for real connoisseurs.
The “Quinta das Lágrimas Hotel” has a golf academy available, equipped with a Driving Range and a 9 hole course (Pitch and Putt). Moments of leisure can also be enjoyed in Bamboo Garden Spa and the swimming pool, on walks through the gardens, or in the tranquil and relaxing reading environment of the Library.
