Andrew
Quinta das Colmeias has been the family holiday home for many decades and in 1996 The Main House started to be let. In the 1999 The Cottage, was converted into a three bedroom unit. Both houses are set in a 10ha working organic farm in Madeira.
Helping my father Jeremy, we both manage Quinta das Colmeias as both a holiday let and working organic farm in Madeira. Andrew also owns Nature Meetings, a walking and activity company in Madeira
Quinta das Colmeias is located minutes away from European PGA golf course - Santo da Serra Golf as well as two horse riding centres and well located for Madeira famous levada walks as well as exploring the island by car.
