Contrast offers intense and sharp experiences. In Sofia’s Place you breath the local community spirit and culture in a sophisticated and cosmopolitan accommodation, in the heart of one of the most exclusive, dreamy and romantic places around. As Jardim do Mar itself, Sofia's Place offers the local and the universal, the unique and the diverse, the rural environment and the urbane comfort. Sofia was born in the pitoresque village. And as roots are kept intact, Jardim do Mar became more cosmopolitan as it attracted artists (writers, poets, painters), surfers and nature and tranquility lovers from all over.

Sugar cane gets to Calheta's rum factory

Sugar cane is transported in trucks to the factory in Calheta
In April farmers harvest their sugar cane plantations on the South side of the island and take them in trucks to the rum / sugar cane honey factory and museum in Calheta. It's 5 minutes away from Sofia's Place.

At this time of the year you can visit the factory and see the very old machinery still working like in the old days, check how rum and honey are produced and taste the products in their shop.
