Description

This charming, large cottage-style villa is situated just above the village of Salema and has superb views of the sea and coastline all the way to Sagres and Cape St.Vincent. It is only about a five-minute walk down to the village and lovely sandy beach, but a bit longer on the way back! Salema is an attractive old fishing village with some local and tourist shops, a variety of local and other cafés and restaurants, and even a cash-point machine. There is a bank and chemist in Vila do Bispo, a short drive away, and Intermarché, a large food/supply supermarket is about 3 klms away near the resort of Golfe de Santo António (formerly Parque da Floresta). This established course has a driving range as well as the challenging 18-hole course, a bowling green, and tennis courts. Other amenities i.e. Spa/gym may be available. Riding stables at Almadena are about halfway on the road to Lagos, which is only about 16 kilometres distance. There is a bus service to Lagos but we consider a car to be essential at this villa. However, we have had visitors who wanted to hibernate without a car and we can arrange for a supermarket to deliver supplies to the villa.
There is wheelchair access from the front terrace and into one of the bedrooms, a bathroom and through the servery to the kitchen.

ACCOMMODATION for 8 with Tourist Licence «AL» Rental Registration Nº 25967/AL. There are reduced rents for fewer people out of Peak season, please apply.

The front door opens into a small hall, to the left of which is a locked linen cupboard and a cloakroom. The hall leads into the living/dining room; a feature is made by a small upper landing, which has a writing desk, and then steps lead down to the main part of the room. This pleasant room was retiled in 2014 and has comfortable seating, a slow-burning log stove for cooler spring or autumn evenings, a plasma TV and a DVD (bring your own DVDs). There are wide French doors leading out to a lovely part-covered terrace, which is equipped for outside dining and lounging. At the dining end of the main room, a door leads through a servery /bar corridor with a drinks fridge, to the fitted kitchen. Nicely tiled and well equipped with fridge plus freezer compartment, gas cooker, dishwasher and microwave oven. The kitchen has a back door to access the second bedroom and pool areas.

At the far end of the living room, a door opens into the main bedroom area. To the right there is a widened door to a twin-bedded room and ahead a widened door into a full bathroom, comprising a bathtub (with shower attachment), basin and loo. To the left, there is a second twin bedroom with a shower room en suite, (a shower cubicle, basin and loo). The second bedroom area is reached from a door beside the kitchen back door. This leads ahead to an attractive twin bedroom with French doors out to a patio and a shower room en-suite (shower, basin and loo). To the right down a flight of stairs is another twin bedroom, again with French doors to a more secluded terrace and its own full bathroom (bathtub with shower, basin and loo). There is a locked private cupboard.

Outside there are attractive terraces and a mature garden. There is a lovely swimming pool (10x5 metres) that has built-in steps and a hand rail for easy access and a children’s protection fence. Nearby is a built-in charcoal barbecue. There is a portable outdoor table tennis table, covered and stored outside near the garage; bats and balls are supplied. The pool is heated by a heat exchange unit and is included from 22nd March to 27th June and from 30th August to 1st November 2025. There is a modern pool cover on a solar-powered roller. If pool heating is required in the other seasons then an extra charge of £220 per week will be levied. The garage is not available for the client’s use, but there is plenty of parking space outside the villa.

The nicest and homeliest villa...

By Liz Carrow on 07-Sep-2024

We had a fantastic week at Casa Priscarosa, again - the villa is so well equipped and homely. It's also in a great position just a few minuets walk to the beach and village. Also, Celia is lovely and very helpful and she keeps the place spotless at all times.

The best view in Salema

By Ed Woodcock on 05-Jul-2024

This villa is a gem. Built on an undeveloped hill behind the village, it has a stunning view of the sea. The terrace is a lovely place to read, dine, drink, and chat. Decor is homely and characterful, if a little dated in place. But you can tell a family has lovingly cherished it for years, with paintings of Salema before the other hill was developed. Celia, the house-keeper, is helpful and cheerful - she cooked us our first night's stew. Pool is great too - behind the house and sheltered. What with an easy walk to beach and the village below, in my view it's the best villa in Salema.

Fantastic place to stay

By Matt Williams on 27-Jun-2024

The villa was spacious and spotlessly clean. Great views from all rooms and great outside space. Lovely not to be overlooked or too close to other villas. The pool was a really good size and loved by our teenage children! So good to be able to walk into Salema from the villa and enjoy the beach and places to eat and drink. And also ideal for exploring the rest of the Algarve. Easy to get to other nearby beautiful beaches too (5 min drive). Kitchen was well stocked and easy to use the BBQ too. Loved sitting outside on the sofas enjoying the morning sunshine! Would definitely recommend it!

Than you so much for your 5 star review. If we had a system to give stars to visitors Célia would give you 5 stars as well. You were friendly, considerate and tidy guests. So thank you and hope you will return another year.

Highly recommended. Book this villa - you will not be disappointed!

By Sue Kehr on 07-Jun-2024

We have just returned from a wonderful 10 days at Casa Priscarosa. The villa is quite exceptional - 4 excellent sized double bedrooms each with their own bathroom and access onto the numerous patio areas; an extremely well equipped kitchen; a beautiful pool, and wonderful views down to the sea. They even provided fans and plug in mosquito repellents for each bedroom - everything had been thought of to make your stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. Celia comes in to clean 3 times a week and is so friendly and helpful. Salema is a quick and easy walk down down the hill and has all you could want for a holiday - a choice of half a dozen great Portuguese restaurants plus sushi, pizza and curry, various cafes, 2 cocktail bars, 2 small supermarkets, a deli and a small pharmacy. The beach is beautiful with soft sand and inviting, clear blue sea. We would come back again in a heartbeat! The only thing I would say is that the house is in 2 parts: all connected in the day when patio doors and back door are open, but at night if the house is all locked up then the house is in 2 sections - the kitchen and main living area and 2 of the bedrooms in one section and then the other two bedrooms in the other. So if you are travelling with smaller children this configuration may be something you'll need to consider. It was ideal for us as all adults and would be perfect for two families travelling together.

Thank you so much for your time to make this review. It is most helpful. We are delighted you had such a great stay and hope you will be back another year.

A fabulous place to stay.

By The Gilbey family on 05-Apr-2024

Casa Priscarosa lived up to our expectations-it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy this stunning part of Portugal. The views were exceptional and the outside eating and seating areas meant we could enjoy them wherever we sat. The swimming pool was lovely, with plenty of sun loungers for relaxing beside it. The villa had everything we needed; we particularly loved the beautiful Porches pottery throughout, along with the pretty paintings- it felt like home from home. The villa is just a short walk from the beach and village, but is also in a secluded and very unspoilt spot away from the crowds. Celia looked after us beautifully.

Fabulous family holiday at Casa Priscarosa, Salema

By Juliette & John Batchelor on 19-Aug-2023

We had a wonderful break in Salema! Casa Priscarosa was a great find, only a short walk to the beach & restaurants. The house was well kitted out, with a welcoming pool & table tennis. It was also such a treat to have Celia daily to look after us & the house so brilliantly - what a gem! We would definitely recommend a car to venture to Lagos, supermarket & other areas near Salema.
