We had an amazing stay at Casa Das Estaves! The location was amazing, views from every room. So many places to sit with a book or just relax. Beautiful pool and a fun game room! Easy walk to the beach and town. We will be back!

We Stayed at Casa Das Estevas in the October half term. Such a fantastic villa for us and all the family. Everything is stunning from the rooms to the views. Kids loved the games room and the large pool. Simply were great, and answered all our questions and worries - and even helped with recommendations and car hire. We'll definitely be back!

Casa das Estevas is an awesome property situated on the cliffs above the Atlantic ocean. The views are amazing! It is also well located for exploring the southwest corner of the Algarve, from Sagres to Lagos. All within an easy 25-30 minuted drive. We enjoyed the game room, the pool, hot tub, and barbecued outside weather permitting (it was an unusual spring for the region). We variously biked and hiked from the villa, walked to the end of the Salema beach (exactly 2 miles round trip) and sampled most of the restaurants in Salema (all walking distance). Staff (Sam and Rosa particularly) was great, always responding immediately to our calls for help, assistance, minor repairs (there is always something) and advice. There is a weekly pool cleaning and hot tub check to keep everything fresh. We took the Villa for a long stay and had various friends and family members join us for shorter periods. The reactions were unanimous - this is amazing!

Our week long break in the Easter sun surpassed all our expectations and provided a truly unforgettable experience. Unbeatable location, luxurious villa, and breathtaking beaches all around.

The Villa is very speacious, well equipped and in a beautiful location. We had a great time. The Villa is very comfortable, though perhaps would benefit from the bathrooms and kitchen moderising.We had a few minor issues which were dealt with extremely quickly.In a quiet location a short stroll from the centre. I would certainly recommend.I

Perfect located nearby everything: a stunning beach, beautiful nature, shops with everything we needed for the stay and plenty of nice restaurants and cafes.

Our group of five couples had a wonderful stay in Salema. The house was the perfect size for all 10 of us, with plenty of space inside and out to relax and enjoy time together.The living area featured a beautiful U-shaped couch that comfortably seated everyone, making it a great gathering place in the evenings. The indoor dining area seated all 10 guests, and there were plenty of fridges plus a wine cooler for beverages.Our favourite spot was the outdoor pool area, with enough loungers for everyone and shaded spaces for the hottest part of the day. The pool was a highlight! We also enjoyed the outdoor dining area and grill for a private dinner one evening. The home was very well air-conditioned, which was greatly appreciated.The location was excellent, within walking distance of Salema’s restaurants and beautiful beach, and it was a great base for day trips. We would happily stay here again.

Amazing stay. This home had such fantastic views and lots of places to enjoy them from the decks off every room to the roof deck. The pool was perfect and the game room was well stocked and so fun! We already miss it!

Our stay in Salema with a family of 8 adults, toddler & 2 babies was very comfortable. The host went above & beyond to provide a crib, a pack n play, 2 high chairs and safety gates for the stairs. Each bedroom on the top floor, as well as the one on main level offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare a hearty breakfast before adventuring out for the day. Fabulous Pastelaria are within walking distance to the Villa, offering the true Portuguese coffee experience (coffee and pastel de nata!!) A small supermarket is also in close proximity. Ample parking was available.The beautiful sandy beaches are within walking distance. The heated private pool at the Villa was very welcoming after a day of sightseeing. Once ‘the littles’ were in bed, the views could continue to be enjoyed from the sunroof, watching the sunset, and eventually turned into stargazing - catching multiple constellations.Absolutely exquisite!Thank you for an unforgettable stay 💕
