Eco Friendly Guest House
Calhau Grande, with its roots embedded in the charming region of Arco da Calheta, is an eco-conscious haven that honours the natural landscape. From the start, the family behind Calhau Grande aimed to minimize their impact on the surrounding environment, carefully restoring traditional houses to blend seamlessly with the rural setting. This family project breathes new life into antique structures, whilst preserving the unique Madeiran dry-stone architectural design. His careful choice of rehabilitation techniques and materials ensures that even the new structures, including a meticulously placed swimming pool, have minimal impact on the countryside surroundings.

Embracing a truly eco-living ethos, Calhau Grande balances its built area with abundant green spaces teeming with local flora. Clever use of natural springs provides irrigation for their gardens, preserving potable water, and creating a habitat for local wildlife. Additionally, the cottages are thoughtfully designed with ample glass walls to harness natural light and warmth, reducing the need for artificial temperature regulation. A range of eco-friendly measures underscore their commitment to the environment: from the use of natural products and minimal chemicals, to recycling organic waste for fertilizer, and even producing their own solar-powered energy, making the establishment self-sufficient. A commitment to eco-friendly laundry services and handcrafted furniture from recycled wood further enhance the sustainable footprint of this delightful retreat.

Eco Friendly Farm Stay
From the get-go, Casas da Levada made a conscious decision to adopt permaculture principles in its design and space management. The concept of permaculture, a term originating from "permanent agriculture", has evolved over time to encompass a broader perspective of a "sustainable permanent culture". This methodology is described as a design system for constructing sustainable, productive human environments in balance and harmony with nature.

In executing their project, Casas da Levada has allowed permaculture to permeate all aspects of their operations, embodying a holistic and integrated approach. This approach centers around three core pillars: Earth Care, which encapsulates environmental sustainability; Caring for People, signifying social sustainability; and Sharing Fair, representing economic sustainability. These elements together form the backbone of Casas da Levada's commitment to fostering a sustainable and harmonious relationship with both the natural world and the community it serves.

Eco Friendly Guest House
Quinta do Cabouco, a quaint bed and breakfast, takes pride in its commitment to sustainable practices. The building's design encourages optimal air flow and natural light, reducing the need for artificial climate control and lighting. This eco-friendly ethos extends to reforestation and wildlife conservation initiatives, facilitated by a dedicated environmental manager. In-room signage informs guests that towel changes are conducted only upon request, emphasizing the establishment's dedication to resource conservation.

One of the standout aspects of Quinta do Cabouco is its zero-waste approach. Waste is meticulously sorted into at least three categories, with organic waste composted and all disposable items, such as cups, glasses, plates, and cutlery, completely eliminated. Also setting this bed and breakfast apart is its own organic garden, flourishing with fruit trees, vegetables, and flowers. Not only does the garden create a serene ambiance, but its produce, shared generously with guests, also serves as a testament to Quinta do Cabouco's commitment to local sourcing. In fact, the majority of ingredients used in meal preparation come from local producers, reinforcing their support for the community while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint.
