Independent, Vila do Bispo hotels

"Salema is so very beautiful. Our villa had three different levels to view the town including a spiral staircase to the rooftop which was perfect for viewing the star-filled sky as well as gorgeous sunrise over the water. The beach is a short walk away and there is a wonderful local pastry shop run by Marta (I believe that was her name) not too far away with very reasonable and delicious baked goods. The only negative was that our next door neighbors were loud (but it was also New Year’s Eve so it was understandable). We really loved our stay besides that. Welcoming the new year in Salema and spending the first day of the new year at the beach was a perfect start to 2025. "

"Become a tradition heading to Memmo Baleeira for the start of the year and there's no better way to kick of the new year. Always have an incredible stay and the staff are super attentive. Highly recommend. "

"Really nice property, the room was quite big with tasteful decor and clean. Breakfast was in the sister hotel next door, a simple breakfast."

"Easy check in. Friendly staff. Nice room. While parking was not included, it was easy to park in front of the hotel and it was free. Nice breakfast. Short walk to the beach. Good location. Quiet. Stayed 3 nights and would go back. Spent 2 weeks in the Algarve, changing city and hotel every 3 days and this place was my favorite."

"Great views and easy walk downtown or down to the beach below. Having a hot tub was a nice option. They have access to a pool as well but we did not try it, but it looked great. Room was decent, nothing amazing but no complaints, nice to have A/C after some of our stops did not."

"This place and location are dynamite."

"To start off, we had a late arrival to the property; working with Stella at the front desk, she made our arrival seamless and easy (they do not have a 24 hour front desk). The location of the property could not be any more picturesque and the location to the town and local beach makes it feel like everything is right in your very own backyard. We will absolutely return if provided the opportunity. Thank you to the staff at Pontalaia Apartamentos!"

"We stayed in a 1 bedroom cabin. It was adorable! It had everything we needed, a cute kitchen , fully equipped! The bed was really firm and comfortable. Nice deck to sit out on and roomy table to play games and eat. I would highly recommend it!"

"Exceptional bed and breakfast in beautifully renovated building "
