Fatima took us on the farm and fruit tasting tour which was really interesting and the fruit was delicious (generous portions!). Fatima was engaging and entertaining, and obviously proud of the farm and its efforts to be sustainable whilst producing top quality fruit and vegetables. We were also able to see the lovely accommodation they have for hire there. We followed it with some delicious prawns and local bread from the excellent restaurant on site. A beautiful setting with sustainably at its core.

Beautiful setting with sustainability at its core

We had the best of times at Faja dos Padres, a lost paradise. The staff was so welcoming, and you could tell they were proud to be part of such a stunning environment and friendly community - and wanted to share that with you. A huge thanks to Nelio who welcomed us when we arrived from the airport in the evening and to Fatima for her smiles, wit and caring attitude as well as a great organic farm tour (learnt loads about lots of different tropical fruit including Surinam cherries, bananas and mangos)! We hope to come back to this incredible place that makes you feel at world’s end but also part of a little community preserving a hidden gem and important wildlife including giant monarch butterflies.

Thank you to everyone for their warm welcome and to Mario for showing us to the bungalow late in the evening. The bungalows have amazing sea and cliff views!

A tropical paradise

What a unique and fascinating place to stay...probably the most memorable of all the places we've stayed at over 13 springtime holidays in Madeira. Being centred on a farm bordering the ocean, green is all around, as well as blue sea and skies. For our 48 hours there we had plenty to see and do without leaving it,  including a tai chi class offered in the garden. People visit via cable car for the small beach bar- restaurant away from the accommodation. We had a lovely sunset meal and breakfasts there. Just right temperature in March - could be very hot in high summer at the foot of the cliffs. The evenings are particularly  peaceful. The Bungalow (upper storey of a converted stone- built barn) where we stayed exceeded our expectations, having somewhat more facilities, style and space than anticipated.  The staff were friendly, relaxed and can-do, they even leapt to the challenge of dropping off something I left, at my next hotel.

Far from the Madding crowds...

What a fantastic relaxing stay at an organic farm at the bottom of a cliff accessible only by cable car. Quiet except for the waves crashing shore. We had our own “Casa” at the edge of a cliff with bedroom bath kitchenette and Adirondack chairs on the stone patio overlooking the sea. Visited the wine cellar on premises, took an excellent outdoor yoga class with the sea as background music, and joined a fascinating and informative tour of the organic farm led by our host, Fatima. All the delicious fruit and jam at breakfast was from the farm and it was fresh and delicious. There are not enough superlatives to describe how great it was to stay here,

Close to Paradise

Spent nearly a week here at the beginning of July. Didn't find it in the slightest remote or isolated - park at the top and the cable car (no not scary) whisks you down to the bottom.... if you want to go out in the evening (and miss those sunsets??) then Nelio the lovely cable car operator will pop back to take you back down. Great food in the restaurant and after 6 or 7pm? You have the place to yourselves as any day guests have gone by then. Perfect.

Gorgeous

We stayed here 2 nights and it was absolutely lovely. Everyone at Faja dos Padres is really nice and takes very well care of you. The place is one of its kind as you won't find much places like this with such great beauty, relaxation and quietness. The villas are clean and comfortable. Food in restaurant is one of the best we had in Madeira and breakfast tops. Fresh farm fruits, juices and vegetables. Everything about this place is just awesome and if you can manage, do not let your Madeira trip happen without a stay at this place. 2 to 3 nights would be perfect if you are worried that it will get too quiet and isolated for a longer while. You can only reach here by boat or 3 min cable car ride (not a problem at all). Car goes till outside the cable car. There are lots of lizards around on the farm (generally in Madeira) but they are small ones and would not bother you. We did not see any inside the rooms. If you want to be close to the nature, ocean and relax, this is the place to be.

Absolutely out of a dream and highlight of Madeira

How to start?  The entrance to this place is already breathtaking, the elevator brings you to a small advocate, banana plantage dotted with with 8 small cottages.  Simpel but beautiful. With beautiful views over the sea. A lot of privacy.
The restaurant offers simpel but very tasty food. With Ermelinda running the place very well.
Nothing to complain? Well the breakfast is every day the same, that could be better. And the (instant) coffee they serve by the breakfast is bad. But that's futile, not important compared with staying in this beautiful setting. We come back some day

Very special

Very beautiful place in Madeira. Only achievable by boat or cable car (cabel car is a little bit scary). Ancient priests farm. Very quiet and colourful fauna with several banana trees. Has an average quality restaurant.

Beautifull and Breathtaking

We had a stay here in October 2014. Before we booked we read a lot of reviews so we knew about the stairs (although they feel much higher when your climbing them) and the possibility of bugs. The accommodation is okay. There is enough space for 2 adults and 1 baby (1yr old). It's mostly the location that makes this a nice place to stay. 
At the restaurant they didn't had a baby chair so we used a regular chair. 
The biggest downside was the hygiene. Or little one crawled around the accommodation a lot but ended up with black hands and knees and loads of strange hairs on his clothes/body. At one point there was a dead roach in the living room surrounded by ants. Before we went for breakfast we reported the bug but after we returned housekeeping was gone and the roach was still there. After we called someone immediately came to clean up the roach. We asked to give the house a quick mop but she used the same mop she just used for cleaning the roach without rinsing. She really tried helping us but because of our little one we ended up cleaning the floor our selfs. Just to be really sure it was really clean. We don't mind a bit of dust or a few (dead) bugs (that's the consequence of staying in a place surrounded by lovely plants/nature). But the floor being this dirty was unnecessary.  
The best part was when we returned to the accommodation at night. We took the panoramic lift down and saw al these little fireflies. Absolutely beautiful.
