A stay at Quinta do Tagus begins in the countryside at Costas de Cão, in an eighteenth-century rural property once owned by a painter and ceramicist before its conversion to tourist accommodation. From the grounds, views take in Lisbon and the Tagus, the Atlantic and Serra de Sintra, with Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries and the 25 de Abril Bridge also in the scene. For a company gathering, there is a meeting room with a projector, flipchart and catering. An outdoor pool is on site, while wedding arrangements can combine accommodation with meals, drinks, cheese and dessert tables, and cocktail or open-bar service. When it is time to leave, Lisbon is a ten-minute drive away and Atlantic beaches are five minutes away, according to Visit Lisboa.
