Perfect villa for our family group of 6. Photos don’t really do it justice, felt very spacious and beautifully furnished. Just beware of steep hill as it may not suit those with older group members or young children.Would definitely book again!
We had a great time. The house is exactly as showed in the pictures.
Salema beach is sometimes a bit windy but it is worth it given that is is a beautiful beach and is not as crowded as other parts of Algarve.
This was our second time here and it was as lovely as the first. The pool area was great, especially so on a few windy days as it is well sheltered. We spent almost all our days by the pool or at the beach - Salema beach is beautiful and a short (steep) walk away - or on the upstairs terrace. The home is really well laid out with plenty of space to relax. We ate in the nearby restaurants and would thoroughly recommend Em Lume Brando and A BOIA. We are already planning when we can come back.
Overall stay was very good, well equipped and maintained property with stunning views out to sea.
Two refrigerators which was great for a family of ten.
We did feel the convenience of the location was a tad overstated give the extremely steep hills coming back up to the Villa from Selema centre as with two seventy year olds and three children under four car journeys were ess
The property is exactly as shown on the listing and the indoor and outdoor spaces worked really well for the four of us. Salema beach is a gorgeous sandy beach. We enjoyed drinks at Atlantico, had great food at A Boia for breakfast and dinner and a fabulous dinner at Em Lume Brando. We did not want to leave the house when time came to go and would definitely like to come back. Thank you Hans and Wil for allowing us to share your place.

Lovely location
The villa is in a lovely location with a beautiful sea view from the upstairs balcony. It is well appointed and the owners are responsive and helpful. We spent a lovely week reacquainting ourselves with the beach and resturants in gorgeous Salema. Cleanliness great inside but outside around the pool was a bit neglected. We also had more than a few niggles to chase which meant the stay wasn't as relaxing as it could have been.
We were hugely impressed with this beautiful villa in a stunning town.
The photos don't do this property justice. All the communal space is larger than it appears and makes for excellent hosting. The villa was clean and spacious in a quiet/private street with excellent location to the shops, beach and local restaurants
Salema is a quant town with a great choice of restaurants and an unspoilt beach.
We had a pram with a toddler and everywhere we went was accessible and family friendly. There are some steep hills down to the town but it's a very short walk.
We'd love to come back to this location.
Property was ideal for a family holiday two sets of grandparents and grandchildren. Everyone really enjoyed the pool. The photographs do not do it justice the property is 5 star all the way. Well kitted out including barbecue and 2 fridges. The only downside its at the top of a very steep hill. We would have no hesitation booking again. We had a couple of small issues which where rectified very quickly after contacting Hans and Wil. Super holiday was had by all.
House was even better than expected. Everything about it worked well for our family. The home is well appointed and very comfortable. Plenty of supplies for cooking and entertaining. A/C works well on hot days...pool was a perfect temperature. Outdoor spaces well appointed and very functional. Views out to ocean are stunning. Would definitely recommend to a family looking to get away and relax in comfort. We were very happy with this property and will definitely choose it again when we return
The house is beautifully decorated and the communal areas are very spacious. The garden looks to have been recently landscaped and, along with the pool makes a lovely outdoor space. We were a group of ten and the space worked well for us with four teenagers sharing the garden studio (which is compact but well designed). Salema itself is our new favourite place in the Algarve, we absolutely loved it and couldn’t fault it. We enjoyed eating out in the pizzeria, Boia and Agua na Boca (the latter being a more formal restaurant). Hans and Will were very responsive and helpful when we experienced teething issues. The only criticism I could voice is that more/better pillows would make for an even more comfortable stay. The beds themselves were very comfy! Thank you.

Brilliant peaceful beautiful location
The property is stunning the photos don't do it justice. The view from the balcony and lounge is like a sea view painting. I couldn't fault the place, there was nothing that it didn't have. The walk down the hill from the villa is fine, going back up tho pulled on your calves 😀 there are a handful of local restaurants with very good food. The two little bars were friendly and intimate. I don't want this place to change and don't want others to know about it so it stays peaceful, beautiful and chilled for our return.
The villa is exactly as described and Hans and Wil are certainly premier hosts. They were helpful at the time of the booking and with enquiries about aspects of the house and location in the weeks before. There were a couple of small niggles while we were there but again all handled very promptly.
The villa has the most perfect view of the sea and, with its location, has all day sunshine. It’s in a very quiet street. The layout of the house is super and easily enjoyed by all ages. Salema is picture perfect with a good choice of restaurants and bars and a fabulous beach. It truly is the perfect spot for those wanting to get away and enjoy the picturesque (and slightly less touristy) SW Algarve.
Villa very well represented in the pictures and discription. Wonderful pool and space in the Villa. Salema has many great restaurants, but be ready for the walk up the hill back to the Villa. Great communication with owner, small problem with cleaner easily fixed. Evening's can get cooler so pack a sweatshirt. Great break in a lovely Villa in a quiet road, no noise at all. If you want a laidback small resort with a wonderful beach, not busy with tourists this is for you. Thank you. Many places in the Algarve on more than 45 mins away jn a car.
This is a nice house with excellent outdoor space. It would have been nice to have more bedroom storage as ours was a 2 week vacation including family who travelled from 4 different countries and the cupboards in some of the rooms weren't really adequate. Everyone loved the decor and the beds were comfortable. This was our first experience of arriving at a villa that did not have a welcome pack/hamper. Our previous villa hosts left a full fridge of wine, beer, cheese, crackers, coffee, tea, bread, water and other treats. Not even a bottle of water was disappointing and surprising.

Awesome Mediterranean experience
This awesome villa offers the true Mediterranean experience: a huge terrace with a superb view on the large garden with palm trees, the glittering sea and a blue sky. The private swimming pool completes the picture. It is a 5-10 minute downhill walk to the beach and the village where you will find several restaurants, some of them outstanding. My personal favorite is the Boia Bar with great food and directly at the beach. There are two small supermarkets (and two large ones that take a 5 minute drive). The Salema village still offers an authentic feeling. Every morning fishermen with their small boats bring the catch of the day to the beach.
The spacious villa itself offers three bedrooms with enough cupboards for all of your clothes, two bathrooms and three toilets. Obviously, TV and wifi are available, but spending your time at the BBQ or around the pool might offer you that special feeling you do not have at home. The house is well maintained and there are weekly visits from the pool boy and the gardener. The owners live here part of the year. I know them well and I was allowed to stay in their villa for a week in June 2018, two weeks in October 2017 and a week in September 2016.
The location offers several benefits. Apart from its proximity to the beach, where you can rent sunbeds, parasols and watersports stuff, I like Lagos at a 25 minute drive. This is the most beautiful city of the Algarve. Next, there are three very nice golf courses within a 20 minute drive. The closest golf course Santo Antonio offers golf lessons for the whole family, tennis courts, and it accommodates a beauty center where you can get a massage as well. Last but not least, from Salema you can visit the gorgeous West coast within an half hour drive. There, you will find surfers paradise with fantastic views and massive waves.
If you are looking for a beautiful and relaxing Mediterranean experience, stop looking and enjoy your stay in this great place.
Het was een fantastische woning met zicht op zee.Alles was zeer netjes, op wandelafstand van de zee, winkels en restaurants.Mooi zwembad, kortweg alles voor een geweldige vakantie.
Wundervoller Aufenthalt in der Villa mit Traumblick
Wir, eine Gruppe aus 8 Freunden, waren für eine Woche Gäste in dieser wunderbaren Villa. Es hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Wir waren alle der Minung, dass die Villa noch schöner ist, als auf den Bilder rüberkommt.Man hat von der Terasse eine herrliche Aussicht, die wir sehr genossen haben. Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, man findet in der Küche und überall alles, was man braucht, es waren keine Wünsche offen. Der Pool- und der Poolbereich ist sehr schön, von Liegen zu Sonnenschirmen, zu Poolhandtüchern, alles da.Die Einrichtung der Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt und wollten überhaupt nicht mehr abreisen. Salema ist ein kleiner netter Ort, die Strände in und rund um Salema sind traumhaft schön. Es gibt viel zu sehen und zu entdecken. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und möchten uns herzlich bei den Gastgebern bedanken, dass wir eine Woche in der allerbesten Ferienvilla leben durften.
