Quinta do Chafariz – Central Portugal
Regularly ranked among the finest establishments in the region and praised by our guests for the quality of our welcome, the serenity of the setting and our attention to detail, Quinta do Chafariz embodies a distinctive approach to hospitality. Here, hospitality is not standardised, but personal, authentic and deeply human. Located just 20 minutes from Coimbra — the historic university city and UNESCO World Heritage Site — and midway between Lisbon and Porto, the Quinta offers a protected retreat away from mass tourism. A saltwater pool, lush gardens, sunlit terraces and open views over the Serra da Lousã create an exceptional natural setting. Our two fully renovated accommodations can host up to 10 guests, combining understated elegance, modern comfort and Portuguese authenticity. A place to slow down. To breathe. To experience Portugal differently. More than a stay: a signature of excellence in the heart of authentic Portugal.
OUR RURAL TOURISM ACCOMMODATIONS
QUINTA DO CHAFARIZ Two charming accommodations nestled in a typical Portuguese village, where modern comfort and historic character blend harmoniously. We prioritise a personalised welcome, deliberately limited capacity and attentive guidance even before your arrival — with individually tailored recommendations. More than accommodation, we offer an immersion into a genuine, preserved and deeply human Portugal.
OUR CULTURAL AND HERITAGE ACTIVITIES
AS NOITES CULTURAIS NA QUINTA DO CHAFARIZ Our annual festival and cultural programme. Each summer, artists, music and meaningful encounters take place within a unique natural setting. The programme is complemented by artisan market days highlighting local craftsmanship, as well as evenings introducing traditional and contemporary dances, encouraging exchange, conviviality and cultural transmission.

HERE, A DIFFERENT VISION OF PORTUGAL — THE ART OF HOSPITALITY!
Our online shop extends the spirit of Quinta do Chafariz beyond the place and the seasons. Here you will find MM, our signature brand, born from two initials—ours—and turned into a symbol of an authentic Portugal to live, wear, and share. Through carefully selected clothing and objects, MM embodies a way of life rooted in simplicity, encounters, and shared time.
The shop also highlights As Noites Culturais na Quinta do Chafariz, our festival, through a collection of exclusive items illustrated by Mariana Malhão. Her sensitive and poetic creations capture the soul of the cultural evenings: music, nature, conviviality, and the emotion of the moment. Each piece is designed as a keepsake to take home—a lasting link between culture, place, and the people who bring it to life.
