Perfect place to stay in Salema

Our Salema Beach Getaway!

What a perfect home for our 4 day beach stay and visiting other areas of the Algarve. We were very comfortable and happy at the Casa Alvorada! There was even a bottle of delicious wine and snacks, along with coffee and teas waiting for us. The walk up and down the hill to town was lovely for those that want some additional exercise. All restaurants and shops are just a short distance away. I would highly recommend staying here! Ginny and Steve

A propriedade encontra-se bem localizada. Dentro da casa estava limpa, a parte fora degradada. O quarto que fica no res do chão precisa de obras. O facto de não haver tv portuguesa é um aspecto negativo.

Großzügige Fewo in ruhiger Lage

Wir hatten die Fewo für 10 Tage gebucht. Sie war für uns (2 Erwachsene / 2 Kinder - 16+13) auch ohne das Zusatzzimmer im EG sehr geräumig. Der Balkon mit Meerblick auf der Vorderseite und auch die kleine Terrasse auf der Rückseite sind sehr schön. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir fanden, wie von anderen Nutzern beschrieben, ebenfalls ein Grundausstattung an Lebensmitteln im Kühlschrank vor, was wir nach längerer Anreise am Sonntagabend als sehr angenehm empfunden haben. Von der zweiten Wohnung im Haus bekommt man nichts mit. Die Wohnung insgesamt und hier insbesondere die sanitären Einrichtungen sind leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Als etwas unangenehm haben wir den modrigen Geruch im Badezimmer empfunden, der nicht so recht zu der sonst wirklich schönen und zweckmäßigen Wohnung passt. Etwas schade fanden wir auch die Aufmachung des Inserates: wir hatten nach einer Wohnung mit 3 Schlafzimmern gesucht und erst im Kontakt mit den Vermietern habe ich erfahren, dass das dritte Zimmer nicht im Mietpreis enthalten ist und extra hinzugebucht werden kann. Letztendlich war das bei der Größe der Wohnung aber kein Problem. Der Kontakt mit der Objektmanagerin Anna war außerdem sehr positiv. Sie hat sich zügig und kompetent um unser Anliegen gekümmert. Insgesamt haben wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und mit der Lage der Wohnung auch einen tollen Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen entlang der Küste bzw. zu den kleineren Stränden in der Nähe gehabt. Die Wohnung können wir insgesamt weiterempfehlen.

Beautiful apartment in a quiet location in the village Salema

Apartment looks OK. There was prepared some breads, butter, milk, beer and vine for us when we was arrived. The only issue was the drainage problem in the bathroom sinks.

A real home on holiday

Lovely appartment, very well kept. It offers all equipment that you can possibly imagine necessary for a holiday. Two terraces to enjoy the sun all day, high quality beds for a perfect sleep. Sally and Bob are very friendly and helpful and have a great taste for interior - and exterior - design! :-) Salema is perfect for families. Would love to go again!!!

Fijne woning met mooi uitzicht op zee!

We hebben met 2 gezinnen met kleine kinderen genoten van ons verblijf in Casa Alvorada in Salema. De woning ligt een kleine 10 min lopen van het strand, maar terug wel een flinke klim. De buitenruimtes zijn heerlijk en ook binnen is het prima vertoeven. Fijn dat er beneden een aparte badkamer is. Alles was schoon en er stonden kinderbedjes, een kinderstoel en een traphekje klaar. Sally en Bob waren goed bereikbaar en Pauline en Michael kwamen toen we een vraag hadden direct langs om het op te lossen. Wat ons betreft een aanrader!

Lots of room with all the extras you need

We stayed in the middle apartment. You can watch the sunrise in the morning from your window. Both terraces are really nice to have. Sally has included many little items that really make your stay wonderful such as a cooler bag, ice packs, beach umbrella and many other things like that. The apartment is spacious and clean. I would highly recommend it. You would want to have a car.

For us a perfect three weeks stay

We have been going to Salema for about 30 years now and I can say that Sally and Bob's apartment is by far the one we have enjoyed the most. For us the location is a perfect spot to start walking from with the best beaches within easy reach, Salema village just a stroll down the hill and the golf course just a few minutes drive away. The apartment is a home from home with everything we needed. Spotlessly clean when we arrived with enough supplies in the fridge to see us through the evening and breakfast - a very thoughtful touch. The terrace and little garden area are ideal for chilling out (literally as there are shady areas) and the barbecue is an excellent addition to the facilities. Pauline and Michael who look after the property are very attentive and full of local knowledge. We have already recommended the apartment to our friends and will certainly consider taking it again ourselves.

Wonderful flats

We stayed in apt 19b and it was ideal. Lovely views, very comfortable and well equipped, especially the kitchen. We instantly relaxed and felt at home. Customer service was friendly and efficient. Salema is quiet with relaxing beach and a range of cafes and restaurants which suit a variety of needs. From there with a car, wilder west coast beaches are accessible as are towns such as Lagos with good beaches but also tourist trips and a wider range of shops and restaurants. Our adult family and two small grandchildren stayed in 19A which was also ideal for the larger group with outdoor spaces and comfortable indoor facilities too. Everyone had their own space but could combine for meals and relaxation. Close enough to town centre and beach not to need the car all the time. Good parking and access to beach equipment which was very helpful too.

Lovely apartment in a lovely village

We stayed in the 1st floor apartment - comfortable, clean, a well-equipped kitchen and two large and very pleasant outdoor spaces to sit and read or have meals. The apartment was also lovely and cool even though the weather was very hot, so no uncomfortable hot sleepless nights. It's a steep walk down to the beach but very short and easy and well worth it when you get there. Sally was extremely helpful when we were booking and it certainly lives up to the description. Would most certainly recommend.

Hochgenuss über der Bucht von Salema

Kaum zu glauben, dass der Urlaub schon vorbei ist, so verging er im Flug – und wir haben jede Minuten genossen. Gemietet hatten wir 19 A – wir waren 3 Erwachsene mit 2 Teenagern und wir wollten, dass jeder seinen Bereich zum Rückziehen hat. Das hat die Wohnung voll erfüllt. Als Ehepaar zogen wir in den Souterrain und hatten ein großes Bad für uns. Unsere Freundin und die beiden Teenager hatten die Wohnung über uns, zu der eine interner Verbindungstreppe führte. Der Ausblick von der Vorderfront der Wohnung ist fantastisch, so wie in den Bildern dargestellt. Und auch der kleine Garten im hinteren Bereich ist hübsch angelegt und sorgt für Sonnenstunden nachmittags. Bisschen umständlich war, dass man dafür das hintere Schlafzimmer durchqueren muss. Dafür haben die Teens vorne den Sonnenaufgang vom Bett aus genießen können. Die Wohnung war sauber und sehr gut ausgerüstet, selbst an Waschmittel und Spülmaschinentaps wurde gedacht. Als wir nachmittags ankamen, begrüßte uns ein Korb mit Brötchen und ein voller Kühlschrank mit Wurst, Wein und Bier – so dass wir uns gleich zu Hause fühlten. Die Übergabe läuft äußerst diskret und unkompliziert ab. Salema ist ein angenehmer Urlaubsort, dank den Engländern ist auf der Fischergasse ein wenig was los. Ansonsten ist der Ort ruhig und friedlich. Die Restaurants sind abends voll – besser man reserviert vorher. Das Preisleistungs-Verhältnis in den Restaurants ist okay, wenn man bedenkt, dass man mit Blick aufs Meer speisen kann. Das portugiesische Küche besticht durch Frische ohne Schnickschnack – mag man kein Koriander, sollte man das vorher sagen. Wir haben jede Mahlzeit genossen! Obwohl es tagsüber oft sehr heiß war, wehte abends oft ein heftiger, kühler Wind, so dass ist zu empfehlen ist eine dickere Jahr mitzunehmen. Die Ecke der Algarve hat uns sehr gut gefallen, weil ein wenig was los war, wir aber Massentourismus nicht leiden können. Ein paar mal waren wir in Lagos, sind Boot gefahren (unbedingt machen) und auch shoppen gegangen. Obwohl ganz hübsch, hat uns das gereicht und wir sind viel lieber an der Westküste im gesamten Nationalpark und Monchique herumgefahren. Die Brandung am offenen Atlantik bietet einen schöner Kontrast zu den sanften Stränden am Golf. Die Teenager haben eine Surfkurs am Amado Beach gemacht. (30 min über Vila don bosco) Wir Erwachsen haben die Brandung genossen und waren Wandern. So kam jeder auf seine kosten. Es war ein traumhafter Urlaub, von dem wir noch lange zehren werden. Danke!

Salemaurlaub April 2015 Fewo 19b

Wir waren eine Woche in der Fewo 19b und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, in einem guten Zustand und komplett ausgestattet und vermittelt ein Gefühl zu Hause angekommen zu sein. Vom Balkon und der Dachterasse hat man einen herrlichen Blick auf Salema und das Meer. Salema ist im Vergleich zu anderen Städtchen an der Küste, insbesondere in Richtung Lagos, noch ein kleines typisches Dorf. Die Ferienhausbebauung am Hang, fügt sich sich gut in das Gesamtbild ein. Salema bietet neben einigen Restaurants und Bars auch einen kleinen Supermarkt. Ein größerer Markt ist mit dem Auto jedoch schnell erreichbar. Wer nicht selber kochen mag ist in den Restaurants sehr gut aufgehoben. Vor allem frischer Fisch ist zu empfehlen. Andere Portugiesische Hausmannskost ist jedoch schwierig zu finden. Die Nachfrage durch die überwiegend englischsprachigen Gäste ist wohl zu gering. Zu empfehlen ist eine Wanderung auf kleinen Wegen entlang der Küste. Der Weg in Richtung Sagres beginnt direkt hinter dem Haus und ist besonders schön, unanstrengend und bietet herrliche Ausblicke auf das Meer und die blühende Küstenlandschaft. Man kann so die Nachbarbuchten mit ihren herrlichen Stränden schnell und zu Fuß erreichen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, waren bestens betreut und würden die Fewo jederzeit empfehlen.

Wonderful apartment in a beautiful place

Sally's apartment is a great place to stay if you're looking for somewhere in Salema. It's spacious, clean, well-equipped and in a great location (close to the water). There are many hiking trails nearby for those who want to explore the beautiful surroundings but the apartment has two patios for those who want to spend a day relaxing in the sun. As for Sally, she is extremely helpful and easy to get in touch with. Definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely apartment, fabulous views

Excellent, very clean accommodation, thoughtfully equipped for comfort down to all details (even thermos, picnic bag). It was a joy to get up in the morning to the glorious view and to a light-filled space. The enclosed fireplace kept us cosy and warm when needed. We liked the apartment and the location so much that we stayed much longer than originally planned. Salema and area have a lot to offer: peace and quiet and small, friendly restaurants as well as a couple of bars. Wonderful hikes along the cliffs, beautiful beaches, many things to explore on foot or by car. We recommend it highly.

Sehr schön gelegene Ferienwohnung mit einer Einrichtung, die keine Wünsche offen lässt. Von der Terrasse hat man einen wundervollen Ausblick auf das Meer und über ganz Salema.

A Great Place To Stay In Salema

My wife and I visited the apartment at the top of the property in September 2011. We found it extremely well appointed throughout. Seems there's nothing that hasn't been thought of. For us, breakfast on the balcony developed into lunch on the roof garden. Sun and shade available all day without leaving the premises. Sky TV & a wide selection of books provided interest when the stress of sitting in the sun looking at the best view in the village got a little too much! When we did venture down to the beach, bars and restaurants we found everything as inviting as ever. Salema seems to have found the knack of retaining it's fishing village heart whilst providing all the facilities that visitors seem to regard as essential. All done very tastefully. Which also sums up the way the apartment is presented.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi. We fell in love with Salema and the surrounding coastline many years ago. Then in 2008, having sold a property in the UK, we realised our dream and purchased the house in Salema.
We called the house Casa Alvorada, as the sun rise can be seen every day throughout the year.
We usually spend 3 to 4 months a year in Salema, sharing the house with our family and friends. We visit usually winter , spring and autumn.
We always stay in 19B apartment which is a second home for us, we love it there and never get fed up with the amazing view.
We love the area and spend our time making improvements to the house, playing golf , walking in the beautiful countryside and on deserted beaches in the winter. We visit local Portuguese restaurants to enjoy the local food and wine, all at great value.
We welcome you to our home and to share with us this wonderful part of the world.
Our home is in the village of Rothley in Leicestershire.
We are both retired, and always look forward to our next visit to Salema.

Hopefully you will join us there.
