The Location
A true gem, Companhia das Culturas is a sustainable and organic agriturism: 40 hectares of stone pines, cork oaks and carob trees, apricots and figs, olive oil and a vegetable garden, in the southeastern corner of the Algarve.
The ecosystem, maintained by the small size vegetable gardens and the dry orchard agriculture, is manifested daily in the meals that we serve with products that come exclusively from the farm and our neighborhood.
Companhia das Culturas is 45minutes from Faro Airport.
