Charming Townhouse in the Algarve, situated in Salema, with direct access to the beautiful sandy beach
This very charming and character-filled luxury villa to rent in the Algarve is just perfect for one or two couples, or a small family, looking for an idyllic beachside holiday.
Full Description
Situated at the heart of the traditional old village of Salema, Salema Beachside is a completely renovated fisherman’s townhouse, created from two quaint fishermen’s cottages that have been thoughtfully linked together while retaining their original, typically Algarvian architectural character. With the beautiful sandy beach directly on your doorstep and spectacular views across the Atlantic Ocean, this charming townhouse offers a rare opportunity to experience the authentic character and natural serenity of this sought-after coastal village.
The townhouse fully faces the beach, with whitewashed walls and traditional details blending harmoniously with the historic architecture of Salema. The village itself is a beautiful tapestry of white-walled houses and winding cobbled streets, where colourful fishing boats return to shore and fishermen continue the traditions of hauling in their catch and preparing their nets for the following day.
Spread across 190 m², Salema Beachside provides a wonderfully intimate setting for a relaxing coastal escape. The ground floor features a spacious living room with fireplace, a separate dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry room and guest toilet, alongside a comfortable bedroom with a large king-size bed and en-suite shower room.
Upstairs, a second king-size bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while the highlight of the townhouse is its spectacular rooftop terrace. Complete with a barbecue, outdoor dining area, sunbeds and a sunshade, it provides an idyllic setting for leisurely lunches and al fresco dinners overlooking the beach and ocean.
Featured in Finding paradise in Portugal: Luxury villas in Comporta and the Algarve, Salema Beachside offers the perfect escape to Salema, combining the charm and history of a traditional fishing village with the comfort of a beautifully renovated luxury townhouse.
