We stayed at Quinta Jardins do Lago for a week at the end of January, booked to cheer ourselves up after a 'flu ridden Christmas and New Year. We now feel totally rested and invigorated at the same time.
The rooms, views, ambience, food and service all make this a special hotel. How lovely to walk in the beautiful gardens. Anyone with the slightest interest in plants or gardening would be amazed at the extraordinary variety of exotic and unusual species of trees and shrubs. However the friendly and attentive sevice from the management and staff was what made this such a wonderful break. My wife Linda is so unhappy if the environment is noisy, and everything was done to ensure that our wishes were accommodated.
I think this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, and we hope to return. It is well worth saving up for!

We had the most wonderful week here in September. The suite was lovely & the staff were very attentive & helpful. The food was excellent & the waiters in the restaurant were just fantastic - very professional, but friendly too. The pool, surroundings & Columbo (the resident tortoise) just made it all such a pleasure to stay in this beautiful place. If you want a relaxing holiday, in a quiet & peaceful hotel then book it NOW!

We chose Quinta Jardins do Lago because of its rating at TripAdvisor. Our room was large with a big balcony overlooking the gardens and the hills of the city. The gardens are really one of the highlights of the hotel. They are extremely well kept and offer a big variety of plants and flowers. The service staff was always friendly and helpful, however the breakfast guys (not the lady) sometimes chatted a bit too much with each other. Internet access was a problem during the first days but reception staff never got tired to try and after the third day it worked properly.

For anyone seeking peace and tranquillity with a friendly but very proffesional service with food which bears comparison to the highest standards, this hotel will rise to your expectations.It is a hotel I would have no hesition in recommending to the most discerning of clientele.
