    We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Boa Vida in Salema Village. Lots of space, kid friendly, walking distance to the beach, with lots of great restaurants in the village. The hosts are very responsive and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make meals at home. It also has some great views of the ocean. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful place to stay, fully meets expectations. Spacious, clean, kitchen is well equipped, and back garden is a lovely place to eat or read. We hiked/ran portions of Fisherman's trail in both directions, with day trips to beaches/hikes on West coast. Salema's beach is very nice, as are hidden beaches to the West - host's maps are great. Salema is a quiet little town and great place to relax. One caution, everything is close but condo is right at the top of a steep hill - when we were too lazy to walk it was a 1min drive down.

    This property was great for us to spread out and enjoy the algarve. Great restaurants and beaches within walking distance. We loved the hand drawn maps for surrounding hikes and beaches. It was great for kids. Our daughter loved the bunk bed and toys. They had kid accommodations we haven't seen other places like a potty seat, toddler chair, etc.

    Lovely spacious house with sea views from the rear. House was well equipped with pleasant terraced garden. Lots of walks to do from the property and the beach and restaurants are 10 min walk away. The gate entrance to the drive is narrow and our rented SUV was too wide to risk any scratches but parking space directly across the road. Challenge to get consistent hot water for all the family in the morning but splitting the showering arrangements between morning and evening worked better.

    Great location. The hosts are very friendly and supportive. If you intend to use the internet beware that the signal is very weak and nonexistent much of the time

    The property is as described and shown. We felt very comfortable here during our 1 month stay. Loved the interior and back garden area. Loads of space. Kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated all the other extras that were available, including the avacado tree that was providing fruit! Hiking and beach were great...the hand drawn maps were very useful for exploring. Hosts were helpful and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

    The highlight of this house is the backyard : trees and birds, plenty of space to sit and relax, with shade and sun. A short walk from one of many beaches. Very easy communication with Michal and Angelika.

    We loved Casa Boa Vida and Salema. Before we arrived Michal answered our questions about the house and the area thoroughly and right away. Directions to the house were easy to follow and we loved the detailed hand-drawn maps of the surrounding area. Restaurant recommendations were helpful and accurate. The house itself is spacious and airy. I especially loved the quiet I found sitting on the patio and balcony, as well as inside the house. House is spacious, well stocked and everything is labeled well so it’s easy to find what you need. We loved everything about our stay at casa boa vida! I really can’t believe my luck in finding Michal snd Angelika’s home for what felt like 5 days in paradise.
