Hello, I'm Diana Reis.
Welcome to Casa Grão de Café, a beautifully restored rural home designed to offer both comfort and authenticity. While fully renovated, it preserves its traditional charm, allowing guests to experience the soul of Fajã dos Vimes, where towering cliffs meet the endless ocean. What is a Fajã? A fajã is a rare coastal plain, formed by ancient landslides or lava flows that cooled rapidly upon meeting the ocean. These unique formations create rich microclimates, allowing for the abundant growth of fruits, vegetables, and coffee—one of the island’s rarest treasures. Fajã dos Vimes & Its Famous Coffee Fajã dos Vimes is one of the only places in Europe where coffee is cultivated, using 100% natural and traditional methods. Here, coffee beans are carefully grown and harvested in vibrant shades of green, red, and brown, preserving their rich aromas and deep flavors. Whether raw, dried, roasted, or ground, this handcrafted coffee is an unforgettable experience for both true enthusiasts and first-time tasters. At Casa Grão de Café, guests have the unique opportunity to meet local producers, explore coffee plants, touch the beans, and inhale the fresh and roasted aromas. And of course, you can enjoy unlimited tastings of this pure, locally grown coffee. More Than Just Coffee Fajã dos Vimes is also home to a beautiful tradition of handwoven wool tapestries, crafted on historic wooden looms by local artisans who have passed down this skill for generations. But nothing compares to the magic of a starry night in the fajã—listening to the calls of the cagarros (shearwater birds) while the scent of coffee roasting in an old iron pan drifts through the air. Casa Grão de Café isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. Whether you’re sipping a fresh brew while watching the waves, or simply soaking in the tranquil rhythm of this hidden paradise, every moment here is one to cherish. Come and discover the essence of Fajã dos Vimes—where nature, tradition, and the perfect cup of coffee meet.
