We just returned from our trip to Portugal which we loved. We stayed 4 nights at Romantik Villa and loved our time there. Lisa was an amazing host, welcoming, accomodating and very entertaining! The property is gorgeous, rooms are small but the bathroom was large and nicely equipped. Beds are a bit firm for my taste. Breakfast was fabulous and... More

The room was very nice and the grounds were outstanding. We also enjoyed the pool. The room did not have a/c but the weather was not too hot so the fan was adequate. It would not have been enough if it had been really hot. Breakfast was good and as others have described, was at a very fixed time, which... More

Saleema is a perfectly charming seaside town, easily navigateable by foot, and with wonderful restaurants and spots to get a cool beverage. The villa is an ideal spot to take it all in from. Lisa is a wealth of information who takes pride in her place. Visit Sagres an drive some of the deserted parts of the coast, but no... More

This place is a big reason Salema should be your Algarve base. Lisa, the owner, made both my partner and me feel very welcomed from our first email inquiry thoughout our stay, and right to the end. As we were leaving, she very sincerely told us how much she appreciates having gay couples visit her, and she asked us to... More

We discovered this place through Rick Steves' Travel book. It is a wonderful small B&B conveniently located walking distance from the beach and town. It is a very relaxing, charming place. We stayed for three nights and had such a an enjoyable experience. Lisa, the owner of the place took care of us during our stay. She provided us a... More

We stayed on recommendation by Rick Steves - it was a lovely villa, just a 5-10 minute walk down to the beach and center of Salema. Breakfast is very modest - some cereal and toast. Lisa is a very interesting woman - she is very direct and honest (reminded us of fellow New Yorkers!) - at times we didn't feel... More

We stayed at Villa Romantic for four days in May and had a fantastic stay there. The four room villa has a wonderful japanish garden with several places to sit and enjoy the garden or even the ocean in the distance. The room was ok with freedge and basic equipment to make a cold meal or caffee. The bathroom was... More

We spent three days at this lovely B + B. The highlight was relaxing at the very attractive pool, overlooking the ocean, and surrounded by a well-groomed garden area. Lots of peace and quiet for relaxing. Somewhat difficult to find upon arrival.

Based on Rick Steves' recommendation, my wife and I went to Romantik Villa. We weren't disappointed. The hostess is extraordinarily warm and outgoing. She made us feel welcome and plied us with great recommendations of places to visit and the best local restaurants. I haven't felt more relaxed in ages than while sitting poolside in the late afternoon. The rooms... More
