About Quinta Camarena
Our Story
Experience our happy place
Cam is originally from Los Angeles and Vera is from Porto, Portugal.
We met while living and working in NY. As New York City dwellers, we found ourselves devoting most of our free time to travel, mostly to places where we could surf and experience outdoor sports. We could have never imagined that our mutual love for travel and the beach would lead us to Alentejo, this amazing region we are now proud to call home. Having previously lived in many different countries and with friends spread all over the world, we understood that our connection to this place was a natural consequence of our journey. The decision to settle in Cercal was no small challenge as we removed ourselves from our careers and the comforts of our previously established lifestyle. There was a time when we thought opening a private vacation rental in Portugal to host retreats was a far-off dream. As we embrace this new chapter, we are honored and excited to share our dream home with you.
​
As we develop and keep working hard to make Quinta Camarena even more beautiful and comfortable for you, we don´t stop being surprised by the beauty of this region, the warmth of its community, the traditions, and the new amazing projects that keep popping up.
​
We also keep personally curating every single detail in the houses, rooms, and outdoor areas, so that every single corner has a history, that we will happily share with you.
