Where you’ll be

Castelo de Vide, Portalegre, Portugal

The small village inside the castle is picturesque and quiet. Most of my neighbors have lived here for generations. The house where a Spanish - Portuguese treaty was signed in 1274 is next door, the prison, ancient ovens, and a natural spring are nearby.

My work: Retired
Hello, I am a retired American architect living in Portugal. I appreciate independent world travel, long walks, exploring cultures, food and wine. I own two homes in Portugal and share them with other independent-minded travelers. My house in Castelo de Vide is very special to me, I spent years lovingly restoring it to share with lovers of history and architecture.
