Our take
Hotel Quinta das Lagrimas is a five-star palace hotel in Coimbra with an outdoor pool, a full spa, a golf course, two restaurants with seasonal local cuisine and rooms over botanical gardens.

- Book a table at one of the restaurants to sample the fresh, local ingredients from the estate.
- Consider a spa treatment at the Bamboo Garden Spa for ultimate relaxation during your stay.

Why guests love itHotel Quinta das Lagrimas occupies a historic palace in Coimbra, and I would book it for a family treat rather than a quick stopover. Rooms look over the botanical gardens or the city, the outdoor pool gives children a reason to come back early, and parents can use the spa or the golf course. Two restaurants serve seasonal local cooking, so dinner can stay on site. A 9.2 score from 1,843 reviews matches its five-star standing.
