Vumba is a small, family owned company, engaged in maintaining traditions and providing a highly professional and personalized service. We produce the organic cheese "Quinta do Carapinhal" following ancient traditions and provide quality accomodation in a rural environment. Vumba’s logo is a leaf of an oak, a deciduous tree with a long gestation period, that always did well in this region. The oak symbolizes our respect for tradition and continuity as well as renewal. In fact, Vumba is highly influenced by our grandparents’ memory, by their love for this land and by all the great things they’ve done. We make our best to respect and honor this memory in everything we do.

Vumba's property is divided into 2 cozy guesthouses (The Alembic and The House of the Lizard) and 8 stylish suites (The Bue Maria, The Gorongoza, Beira and the Macuti Flats).

All of our houses have fully equipped kitchens where you can cook your meals, including breakfast, and there are two small supermarkets in the village where you will find most of the basic ingredients.
