About this property

Charming, ECO friendly, 4 bed house overlooking Salema with sea views

We are so thrilled to be offering this charming, quirky and much loved second home in Salema which is also one of our most 'eco friendly' properties. Alexeii is virtually fossil fuel free with solar electricity and hot water and solar pool heating.There is also additional electric heating for the pool at an addtional cost for the cooler months.

Casa Alexeii has been in the owner's family for over 50 years and the cherished property exudes happy memories and enjoys breathtaking views of the pretty fishing village and the sparkling sea beyond. It is situated on a hill which allows for the generous views and the area is part of the National Park. The property is surrounded by established plants, shrubs and succulents and is very peaceful.

The house is traditional in style with Portuguese tiles, wooden furniture and comfortable sofas around a cosy fireplace surrounded by a colourful collection of books, paintings, plates and ornaments.

The kitchen is in a country style with wooden cabinets and pretty tiles and is extremely well equipped with everything you could need including some additional perks like a wine fridge, Kenwood hand mixer and coffee machine.

The bedrooms are furnished in the same unique style with splashes of colour and personal touches and all have high-quality mattresses. The master bedroom is on the first floor and is reached by a staircase with a rope instead of a bannister so care should be taken. The owners can provide a stairgate for extra reassurance. This bedroom has doors that lead out to a terrace overlooking the pool area and the spectacular views of Salema.

Outside there is a delightful terrace with an electric awning. There is both a comfortable seating area for relaxing and reading a book or enjoying a drink, and outside dining furniture for alfresco dining while making the most of the stunning views. The pool area is reached by a few steps from the terrace and is gated for additional reassurance with little ones, although care should always be taken of course.

Just a 5 minute walk to the beach and various restaurants, this is an ideal choice for those who prefer to wander out for dinner in the evenings. The long stretch of beach is generally quieter than some of the other popular beaches in the Algarve with a real sense of relaxation and calm.

Casa Alexeii also has heating in the bedrooms, a cosy fireplace in the living room and double glazing making this an excellent choice for out of season holidays.

Wonderful Villa!

The villa couldn't have been more perfect! Gorgeous and homely house, beautiful views, very comfortable and every comfort and need thought of. As two families with children we really appreciated the comfortable beds and rooms, shutters so they could sleep well in the dark, two baths and lots of bathrooms, a big fridge for food, a genuine short walk to the village which we did multiple times a day and all the things that matter when travelling with children! Lots of space to sit together inside and out. We would really recommend staying here and it’s clearly a well loved and cherished family home, the opposite of many a sterile rental. We also loved the extra details about the houses history and art in the house. We’d love to go back, thanks for having us!

Maison très bien Située et avec tout le confort

La maison est idéalement située, à deux pas de la plage où l’on peut faire du surf mais aussi se baigner. Elle est proche aussi de golf. La piscine est grande et très abritée. La maison est très spacieuse, très propre et possède toutes les commodités. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Il n’y a rien à redire .

Casa muito boa mas de regras apertadas

A propriedade é de facto muito boa, com uma localização boa, vistas maravilhosas, bem equipada e decorada com o toque pessoal do proprietário. Recheada de etiquetas que explicam tudo e mais alguma coisa. O pior da nossa experiência foi mesmo a rigidez e falta de bom senso do proprietário que, apesar do anúncio referir as 8 pessoas e apenas só referir num formulário simples do site de reservas Vrbo), nunca em tempo algum isso foi condicionante para uma reserva de uma casa que eu tenha feito e já o faço há mais de 18 anos. Sempre que reservo casa privada, guio-me pelo número de quartos e não pelo limite de pessoas, sempre dentro do bom senso como é obvio. A casa é um T4 bastante grande, nós eramos 6 adultos, 3 bebés com menos de 2 anos que dormiram em camas de viagem que nós levamos incluindo os nossos lençóis e 4 crianças até 8 anos. Distribuímos os quartos pelos casais com os bebés e um quarto para as 4 crianças (1x 5anos, 2x 6anos e 1x8 anos). Pois então a meio da semana o proprietário exigiu 700€ pelas crianças extra, tendo em conta que bebés não costumam contar, este valor seria para compensar os gastos com (água, luz (a casa tem painéis solares) e limpeza de duas crianças. Um exagero! Baixou o valor para os 600€ após uma troca de e-mails, mas mesmo assim UM EXAGERO. Mas ou pagávamos ou saíamos. Fica o alerta para que respeitem o limite de lotação. A casa tem tanto de boa como o proprietário têm de oportunista e ganancioso.

Lovely house

We all loved our stay at Casa Alexei, and hope to come back soon. Very comfortable house, near the beach, and the pool was a hit with everyone. We had our breakfasts, lunches and dinners on the well-sheltered terrace. Fantastic views of the sea, and you can watch the stars at night.

Nice villa in a beautiful location

The house is equipped with all necessities; terrace has a fantastic view and the pool area is also nice. Salema is always windy, but the terrace is well sheltered. Though the house is already somewhat older, all is well functioning.

Family holiday

We had a lovely family holiday. The pool was a favourite with all 3 generations especially when it was time to ‘dive bomb’ grandad’!! The restaurants and beach were a short walk away and the view from the villa is tremendous.

Absolutely Amazing Space with Complete Privacy

The location of the villa is incredible, offering complete tranquility and comfort whilst only a short 5 min walk down onto the gorgeous beach of Salema. Our children loved to play in the beautiful garden and we spent endless hours swimming in the soft heated salt water pool which in the full heat of Portugal is heaven. The locals are of some of the most genuine lovely people we have ever met. We can't wait to return,

Why they chose this property

Owner - 'We were one of the first houses built for foreigners in the Algarve and the first in Salema. The house was completed in 1965 and the structure has stood the test of time.

It has been continually updated so has all mod cons but retains the character of its' time. The greatest compliment that was paid to us was when a friend said how clever we had been to convert an Algarve house!

It has the great advantage of being totally on its own on a 2000sq m (1/2 acre) plot and so is quiet but it is only 5 minutes walk to the beach, local restaurants (increasingly good) and shops. The sea views from the house are fantastic.

The pool below the verandah has a well marked shallow end for children and there is plenty of shade but 6 sunbeds for those who like to toast themselves.

A great place!'

What makes this property unique

There are 3 bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor and a suite of bedroom and bathroom upstairs - all air conditioned. All have been renovated.. There is a big sitting room cum dining room although in summer everyone tends to eat on the verandah which has a large extendable table and plenty of chairs to relax on. It is a great place for families and children (especially younger ones) or a party of friends. For cooks the kitchen is fully equipped and there is a gas BBQ. For those that want to eat out the village has a good choice of restaurants. All day to day shopping can be done at the Intermarche supermarket/ petrol station - 3kms from the house. For the more adventurous there are plenty of walks (you can walk anywhere more or less) and surfing on the west coast beaches.
