Experience one of the most spectacular clifftop locations in the Algarve at Villa Vicentina, perfectly situated in the heart of Salema. This iconic oceanfront villa offers breathtaking 180° panoramic sea views, overlooking Salema Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. A view that is truly unrivalled in the region.
For many visitors who have spent time in Salema over the years, Villa Vicentina is instantly recognisable. Perched high above the village, it is the most iconic villa in Salema, visible from the beach and the village centre, and long admired for its extraordinary position and views.
Perfect for families or groups, this exceptional holiday home combines privacy, comfort and an unbeatable location in the heart of Salema, just a short walk from the beach and village.
