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.
Descendants of John Leacock, initiator of the Madeira wine trade with England in the mid-18th century, the family was one of the largest producers of this wine until 1925. The name of Leacock remains: it is still one of the Madeira Wine brands.
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".
