Our Producer
Our farm is an organic farm with a unique location by the sea, on the south coast of Madeira Island.
The access to the property is done by a state-of-the-art cable car that comfortably transports visitors along a huge cliff over 300 meters down to our farm on an incredible trip that lasts about three minutes.
The upper station of the cable car is located in Quinta Grande, at the road level, and has some parking spaces which are complemented by the possibility of parking along the access road. The lower station is located in our farm, about 500 meters from an exclusive pebble beach and the local restaurant.
A small pier and a solarium invite for a dive in the sea. The sea is normally very calm, with transparent waters and with a mild temperature. There are showers and cabins available to visitors.
Our Farm
Our farm has a restaurant opened for lunch. The restaurant is known for using locally grown organic products and for serving especially fresh fish. It has a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.
The guided visit at our farm travels along ancient paths opened along with the orchards of subtropical Portugal fruit trees, often covered by vineyards of Malvasia, the noblest grape variety of the famous Madeira wine.

In the farm, nine small houses were rebuilt for tourist use. Today they receive guests who have the possibility to experience a stay in this singular place of huge and dramatic natural beauty.
