what is monte kardina?
Monte Kardina is a privately owned estate located in Eastern Algarve, just 18 km from Faro, near Moncarapacho. The owners are very dedicated to sustainable lifestyle and preserving the unpolished charm and the legacy of the man who built it in the 1970s.
On the 1 ha property there are several buildings in different styles, a tropical garden with a variety of plants brought by the previous owner from all over the world, a dry garden with typical Algarvian species, and even a runway for a full-scale fashion show built on elevated platforms in order not to damage the wild vegetation.
our vision

We believe in harmony and the natural and organic way of life. When we moved into Monte Kardina we were so charmed by what the first owner built that we decided to preserve as much as possible and only delicately make changes that are necessary. For example, we have the “no light pollution” rule in the garden so that the stars are as bright as in the wild, and we keep the garden as natural as possible.

We have been organizing events for our friends and neighbours for years, and now we are ready to open our house for a wider and more appreciative audience so that more people get to see and admire this beautiful place and embrace its wabi sabi spirit.

Made on
