A perfect setting in the sleepy village of Salema for our trip to the Algarve. Good location and easy driving to explore the surrounding area as well. Perfect space for our group of six adults. Everything we needed, plus. Didn't want to leave. The welcome basket was most appreciated. The property manager very helpful with restaurant suggestions and any other questions we had.

The villa was the perfect place to regroup after travelling around for a few weeks. Very well equipped with everything we needed and a lovely basket of goodies on arrival. We wished the pool was heated but otherwise couldn’t have been more comfortable. Lovely stay in a spectacular location, we walked to beaches and restaurants daily.

Perfect Location on the Algarve

This is a lovely property. We stayed with our 2 adult children and their significant others; accommodations were perfect. We were a short walk to the beach and fantastic restaurants. Joanne (the owner) and Lavinia (the property manager) were so helpful, offering recommendations, making dinner reservations, and ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoy cooking some meals in and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, and the outdoor barbecue grill and dining table were put to good use. Highly recommend this property. Staying in Salema is the best of the Algarve.

Everything you need

The house is beautiful and immaculate. We had all the comforts of home here and more. The owner and property managers have been thoughtful with all the little touches. It feels more like someone's very nice home rather than a rental with cheap things inside. They are communicative and helpful every step of the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time in this beautiful house. Plenty of space for six people and lovely interior. It’s so close to the beach and right next to a coastal hiking track. The contact to the owner and the management was kind, quick and easy. We would definitely come back. Thanks for everything!

What a lovely place!

We spent two weeks in this beautiful house. We can tell it has been designed with great care and has so many personal touches. Our kids liked to swim and play in the pool, we loved the spaciousness of the living area/open kitchen and could have stayed the whole day at the house. But we were happy that you can easily walk down to Salema

Stunning must stay villa!!

Modern luxurious spacious villa that provided the perfect base for an amazing stay in Salema. It had a fantastic pool which we all enjoyed and is just a short walk to the beach and restaurants. It has a bonus cinema style basement if fancy a movie night. All bedrooms en suite with full blackout shutters. We were greeted by Tina and Sean who were informative and helpful. It was a nice touch to receive a welcome food and drink basket with essentials. Would definitely recommend!!

Our best family holiday yet !

Salema was everything we hoped it would be. The villa was more! Communications beforehand were brilliant, setting accurate expectations and answering all questions. The villa itself was easy to find and the check-in process effortless. We can’t speak highly enough of the experience from start to finish, with personal touches hugely appreciated and everything we needed to have a wonderful holiday! Thank you!

Algarve’s hidden treasure - Salema

What an amazing week we have just had - 4 adults and 3 teens (13) - Casa Dos Sonhos exceeded on every front - comfortable, clean, cozy and all the small touches making it that extra bit special (thanks for the welcome pack!). Joanna the host, Tina and Sean the management team excelling in the comms before during and after the stay and so so attentive to all our needs - adding to the wonderful experience. Salema as an area is relatively unspoilt and a total gem in the Algarve - lovely short walk to the village, nice steep hills 😊, lovely cafes and restaurants, fabulous beach with beach beds and dinosaur fossil footprints (watch the steps don’t burn your feet!!) own vehicle recommended if you want to venture out further afield. Would love to come back…..

A Slice of Paradise in Salema: Pure Algarve Bliss!

We spent four glorious days at this wonderful VRBO in Salema, Portugal, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment you step inside, your eyes are immediately drawn to the incredible outdoor living space – it's truly a dream come true! The sparkling pool, the inviting outdoor dining area, and the comfortable lounge spaces create a perfect oasis for relaxation and enjoyment. We especially loved the thoughtful pass-through window between the kitchen and the barbecue area, making outdoor cooking and entertaining incredibly convenient.Inside, the home continues to impress. The kitchen is not only beautiful but also exceptionally well-equipped, perfect for whipping up a quick bite or a gourmet three-course meal. The entertaining spaces, both on the lower level and the main living room level, are spacious, comfortable, and ideal for gathering. The bedrooms are generously sized with very comfortable beds, and the fact that each one boasts an en suite bathroom is an absolute luxury, especially when traveling with multiple couples. This attention to detail truly enhances the comfort and privacy of all guests.Throughout our stay, both the host and the property manager were consistently available and proved to be a fountain of information, offering valuable insights and assistance whenever needed.We had a truly wonderful and memorable time at this beautiful VRBO. Thank you so much for creating such a magical space for us to spend time in the Algarve.
