Stayed in 3 bed house 1st week in october - wonderful location with Salema just down the hill with super beach and lovely resturants weather very hot so lovely to have pool so close by. House very good standard with tv etc. Lots of places easy to visit as roads were very quite. If you want peace and quite and... More

We've now stayed at the View 2 or 3 times and love it, not just because the accommodation is such excellent quality, but because the resort, Salema, is our idea of what a Portuguese holiday should be all about - sleepy fishing village with amazing beaches and cliff top walks a bit reminiscent of Cornwall. As it's in the National... More

The view from the 2 bed townhouse, (numbered L11) was fabulous despite the hot tub on the opposite roof top terrace. The pool was fine and clean but insufficient sun loungers at busy times. The walls to the houses are paper thin - not great if there is a snorer next door as we discovered. The kitchen units are poor... More

Having stayed frequently at Parque Da Floresta, we decided to have a change and stay at The View (both owned by the same company-Vigia). We were delighted! The villa was exceptionally clean, well furnished and had every mod con that you could think of. The pool was a few steps away from the front door and again was very clean... More

The view is a beautiful, well established resort on a hill overlooking the Atlantic. The views are stunning, the appartment was beautifully furnished, the cleaners came everyday, the pool was great. It was quiet despite the time of year, but that suited us fine. My only criticisms were: - the "restaurant" by the pool was simply a bar, there was... More

The view... well, the view is mostly there (there ARE houses without a sea view), although you may have to crane your neck a bit to enjoy it. The houses are nicely sized and the one we had was very nicely appointed (they may all be slightly different because they're privately owned and only rented out by Vigia). No complaints... More

the view lives up to its name and more! the condo is new and very well furnished and equipped and extremely affordable. unfortunately you can't find someone that works there to save your life! when we tried to check in there was a sign saying the reception was closed and directed us to its sister hotel. unfortunately it didn't provide...

We returned from staying at The View on 13th August. I absolutely love this place, though I do admit there are certain minor things that let it down as a 5 star resort. In response to InfiniteTravellers review I would like to address some issues that were raised. I do agree that there was a distinct lack of parasols around... More

My heart sank when we reached the View 1 resort. We were allocated a villa right next to the noisy construction site of the View 2. We were very disappointed because we had been looking forward to a quiet holiday in the peaceful fisherman's village of Salema. We immediately complained to the reception and were told a bare-faced lie that... More
