Charming Salema Ocean View Villa – Private Pool – Air Conditioning - ★★★★★

Casa Caravela (180 m²) is a recently renovated and charming split-level villa set on a generous 1,400 m² plot, which also includes a separate garden studio. The villa is located on a hillside near Salema Beach (Praia da Salema) and Salema’s center, on a quiet cul-de-sac secured by a private gate. Enjoy sunsets and ocean views from the elevated, south-facing terrace, or walk to the beach and nearby restaurants.

The fully air-conditioned villa is tastefully furnished and offers plenty of poolside and terrace seating. It is surrounded by a private driveway and a lush tropical garden, complete with a perfectly manicured lawn and gently swaying palm trees. Wi-Fi and internet TV are available.

On the lower floor, you’ll find three spacious double bedrooms, each with direct access to the secluded private pool (4 m by 8 m, depth ranging from 0.9 m to 1.8 m). One of the bedrooms includes a lounge bench that can be converted into an additional bed. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, a separate shower, and a toilet. The second bathroom, a separate toilet, and built-in closets are also located on this floor.

Upstairs, there is a large, fully equipped kitchen separated from the open-plan ocean-view lounge and dining area, which features a fireplace, a marble floor, and adjacent spacious terraces overlooking the sea. A third toilet and a cloakroom can also be found on this level.

There are three terraces in total: one at pool and garden level with a built-in barbecue, another larger terrace overlooking the pool with stunning ocean views—ideal for sunbathing and alfresco dining—and a cozy terrace next to the dining area for shelter on windy days. Behind the villa is a spacious backyard and parking area.

At the rear of the property, there is a brand-new separate garden studio. It has two bedrooms separated by a bathroom with a shower and a toilet. The first bedroom features a double or king-size bed, while the second bedroom has a bunk bed that sleeps two people.

Salema’s wide, sandy Blue Flag beach offers safe bathing, with beach loungers, umbrellas, and cabanas available for rent, and the possibility of enjoying a massage. In the village, you’ll find small supermarkets, as well as several wonderful local restaurants and bars—all within walking distance of the villa.
