In Coimbra, Quinta das Lagrimas occupies a historic estate whose gardens are associated with the story of Pedro and Inês. The palace and garden wings contain rooms that range from classical proportions and antique furniture to calmer contemporary schemes, with windows overlooking lawns, woodland or courtyards. The spa includes indoor and outdoor pools, while Arcadas restaurant focuses on Portuguese ingredients and regional cooking. Fountains, ancient trees and stone paths extend through the grounds, connecting the pale palace façade with the secluded garden landscape close to the Mondego River.
