One of the most beautiful cities in Portugal
Coimbra, one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, is one step away from the Quinta’s gates, offering stunning convents and churches, one of the oldest universities in the world (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and over one thousand years of History and legends. Coimbra is 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. Around Coimbra visit the Roman ruins of Conímbriga, the Castle of Montemor, the mountains of Lousã and Bussaco, and Figueira da Foz.
Just one hour from Porto airport this could well be the best place for your corporate or private event in the center of one of the most impressive cities of Portugal, Coimbra!
A retreat of peace and tranquility set within an 18th century palace surrounded by 12 acres of lush gardens
Nature, charm, history, elegance, experiences… this is the essence of Quinta das Lágrimas (Estate of Tears). 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. The hotel is a member of the “Small Luxury Hotels of the World”.
The perfect setting for your event
Quinta das Lágrimas is the perfect setting for all types of private and corporate events. The estate offers privacy, a superior service quality, an excellent location half-way between Lisbon and Porto, and the possibility to use the gardens for cocktails or team-building activities.
Events
Quinta das Lágrimas was the setting for the great romance of Prince Pedro and Inês. There is no better place to celebrate your wedding than this oasis of peace and tranquility. Weddings at the Quinta are memorable…. for the exquisite food, for the seclusion the garden offers, and for the blessing that the Quinta’s enchanted water gives to the bride and groom. Legend says that those who drink this water together will be forever in love.
Meeting & Events
Located halfway between Lisbon and Porto, Quinta das Lágrimas is the most complete and pleasant location in Portugal for meetings and other corporate events. The proximity of the estate’s different rooms (with capacities ranging from 15 to 350 people) allows for them to be used by small break-out groups at the same time. When it is time to play, the Quinta offers several entertainment alternatives ranging from the spa to the golf academy or to organized team-building activities around the garden and woods.
The four seasons at Quinta das Lágrimas
Throughout Summer the verandas welcome guests after a day spent relaxing by the pool, and the garden becomes a dining room for meals “al fresco”. In Spring the Quinta witnesses the rebirth of Nature, and the botanical garden takes center stage. With Autumn the green canopy gives way to a palette of earth tones as the leaves change color. Come Winter and the hotel grows even cozier: glittering fireplaces warm body and soul, and the Christmas spirit makes magic throughout the palace.
