About the host

Hosted by Mary Campbell

Host profile image
I've been living in the Algarve since 1986 & have enjoyed having guests at Monte Velho ever since. Many of them return year after year, one charming family from Paris--now 28 times!
My family & I are always available to assist or give information--always respecting your privacy.
I was raised in the Hudson Valley, New York,. I lived and worked in California & Pakistan. Following those adventures, I became a volunteer worker in Togo & Nigeria, where I met my late, Geordie husband & had my daughter. After spending 12 years in New York, we moved to Portugal & restored Monte Velho, the most rewarding work I have ever done! I am a member of the Algarve Archaeological Association.
I look forward to meeting you & introducing the delights of Monte Velho.& the Eastern Algarve.

Why they chose this property

We bought our Eastern Algarve property because this is still a peaceful, rustic area with friendly people. And we have superb views of the Atlantic Ocean and the countryside. Our guests enjoy the many country and seaside walks, so near at hand. It is not remote, only 5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 2 kms from the friendly market village of Moncarapacho. We enjoy a micro climate, no frost and little rain. The Eastern Algarve is Europe's best kept secret!

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquility, a chance to totally unwind.
And the joy & thrill of discovering another world.
