This was SO worth the time to come and visit! I'd give this 6 stars if I could, Teresa was a wonderfully hospitable host and we experienced so much more than just taking a look at some orange trees! She explained the history behind her family's orange farm and agricultural techniques in an engaging way, and let us sample lots of different fruits besides the oranges that they grow there. There were breaks to enjoy a glass of cold freshly squeezed juice, a chance to pick our own oranges to take home and take photos, and we wrapped up with a visit to the gift shop where everything was very modestly priced and we were able to have further tastings of the different jams, liqueurs and biscuits they make there.
Teresa is amazing at what she does and really goes out of her way to make your experience as great as possible - when the fig jam was out of stock in the 100g size and we told her we couldn't fly back anything bigger, she filled an empty 100g jar just for us and we can't thank her enough.
The whole farm landscape is idyllic, even at the end of the season after harvest (which happens in mid May, we went in late May). She recommended that if we ever wanted to see the orchards in bloom and full of oranges, we should return in March or April.

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit. Having the taxi arranged at the train station made everything easy. We really appreciated that this family is trying to maintain a family farm in a difficult economic situation. The orchard is beautiful and the guide was engaging and charming.

I've been with my family and the place is not at all family orientated.
It is just a money maker and they don't appreciate the importance of costumer service.
Pour English for the tour guide, and really bad management.
They are also very stingy, they are not happy at all if you want to taste the fruits directly from the trees. They have some small buckets and they offer you one each.
I would never go back to this place .
Stay away if you have young kids !

They didn't even slave-drive us to pick oranges for them! Wooooo! Great experience. Teresa was lovely, answered all our silly questions about snakes, loved a good history of the orange groves, literally couldn't give us enough oranges! Buggered about in the groves then saw them being cleaned and sorted. Tried some local juice then all the lovely orangey booze and food! Beautiful! Great to buy some loveliness from as well!
