The Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas is recognized for its history and connection to nature, particularly for its historic gardens and fountains (Fonte dos Amores and Fonte das Lágrimas).
We are now embarking upon a new phase by further improving the environmental, social and economic sustainable measures. Hence, sustainability is our endeavour and commitment.
Sustainability is not just a trend. It is a choice, a decision, a change. The tourism sector, especially the hospitality sector, has the potential to lead this shift towards a more sustainable way of life, creating trends and adopting new behaviors.
At Quinta das Lágrimas we assume our responsibility. Acting in favour of the environment is not a project, it is a reality. Our new reality.
- We want to continue to provide unique moments for our guests, but through a more conscious experience that integrates sustainable and environmental standards throughout their stay.
- We want to continue to be vigilant about the social needs of the most deprived communities in our region, so that we can mitigate some of their needs.
- We want the dishes in our restaurants to privilege local products in order to support the region's agriculture and industry, to decrease imports and the resulting carbon footprint.
- We want to ensure a new policy of reducing water use and optimizing energy.
- We want to continue to establish partnerships with local partners to hold sports, cultural, and other events in the region
