Hotel Quinta do Lago sits on a huge private estate between hills and pine groves. Most descriptions depict it as waterfront however it is actually located in beautiful gardens on a peacesful estuary of the Formosa river. Beyond that is the hotels private beach. It should be noted that the hotel with 5 courses is a golfers paradise. Finally, the restautant, Brisa do Mar, is considered by many gourmands to be one of the best in all of Portugal.
