Quinta Das Lagrimas

Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas is a historic mansion with a large garden. I booked it in a rush, without fully realizing this unique feature—but it’s impossible not to be impressed. I stayed in one of the suite rooms on the ground floor, which included a separate entrance hall, a spacious bedroom and bathroom, and even a small private garden. The furniture matched the hotel’s historical charm and was also quite comfortable. In the evening, I dined at the Arcadas restaurant located inside the hotel—it was as elegant and exquisite as the hotel itself. The next morning, I explored the garden right after waking up. Part of it is reserved for golf, but the more enchanting area is where trails wind through the trees and lead you up the hills—perfect for a bit of trekking. I spent half a day in nature and got a great workout. Although I only stayed one night, I can confidently say this hotel ranks among the top three I’ve ever experienced. I would absolutely love to return. Lastly, my compliments and sincere thanks to the wonderful hotel staff.

Beautiful, well maintained grounds. Incredible service. Saunas and spa onsite with both indoor and outdoor pools. We had a garden terrace view room which was lovely, spacious, and clean. About a 15 minute walk to the university area. Two restaurants onsite and breakfast service in the mornings until 10:30 am. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

We spent 3 nights at this hotel. The staff were amazing. Super helpful and very friendly. Our room included breakfast. We also had a late night dinner and cocktails at their casual restaurant. In both cases, the food was excellent and the service top notch. The building and grounds were charming and very traditionally decorated. My only beef is that our room felt dated. For example, there were no electrical outlets on either side of our bed. This is the reason why I didn’t give this place a 5-star rating.
