The property's history begins in the mid-19th century when the British ancestors of the current owners, the Leacock family, planted vines and banana trees on an area of 6 hectares.
Quinta da Casa Branca is a large garden in this agricultural past.
Due to its exceptional location, the Leacock family, was convinced by an architect friend to develop a unique design hotel on the island.
Fully integrated into the vegetation, the first building was opened in 1998.
In 2002, new rooms were built, the building now spans an L which closes the field towards the Sun and the gardens.
Since 2003, Quinta da Casa Branca is a member of "Small Luxury Hotels of the World".
