As the founders of Flores Daqui, a 2,5 acres sustainable floral farm launched in Colares in 2021, Sébastien Frère and Guillaume Baschet-Sueur have dedicated themselves to creating a space of tranquility and natural beauty. Our farm is more than a passion, it is a living project rooted in the landscape of Sintra Serra. We bring years of hands-on experience to our daily work with the land and are thrilled to welcome you to our little slice of Sintra. Our expertises range from: permaculture, organic and sustainable production, edible flowers, landscape architecture, floral design, ecology, eduaction, biodiversity, gardening and garden therapy. Flores Daqui was awarded the "Made in Sintra" label in July 2025, recognizing the authenticity, quality, innovation, and contribution to the local identity and economy of its products: flowers and floral arrangements. This seal values products that represent the best of the Sintra municipality. Our previous project, at the Grand Daubeuf estate in Normandy, where Sébastien was Head Gardener and Guillaume Landscape Designer, received four awards: - Villandry Prize in 2014; - Joint First Prize, National Vegetable Ornamental Garden Competition 2019, awarded by the French National Horticultural Society; - Vegetable Ornamental Garden Prize 2019, awarded by the Normandy Parks and Gardens Association; - 'Remarkable Garden' label, to be awarded in 2025 by the French Ministry of Culture.
Our farm is located in a natural, rustic setting. The ground can be uneven, so we recommend comfortable footwear. We embrace the maritime climate of Sintra. Weather might be windy or foggy, bring a sweater.
Kids adore the floral farm and really appreciate playing around, specially in the giant bamboos forest. They are welcome but will remain under supervision and responsability of their parents during the whole visit. Please be aware that the property is large, steep and surrounded by waterstreams.
Please note that because the farm is set on a natural hillside, the terrain may be challenging for those with limited mobility.
We limit our tours to small groups (4 to 6 persons at a time) to ensure you have plenty of time to ask questions and enjoy the peace of our valley.
Unfortunately no, sinc 4 persons is the minimum for the activity to take place. Should a session already count 4 or more participants, you can make up to 2 individual bookings at 30€ each
