Holiday homes from SevenCollection are a declaration of love to the Algarve. Individual casas and villas exist in harmony with the pristine rocky coastline of southern Portugal, stylishly in tune with the needs and wishes of the guest. Our three ensembles are located in the beach resorts of Salema and Carvoeiro. Discover your perfect property in a range of categories and discover the variety that is so typical of the Algarve.
Peace and energy. Two things which we often dream of and yet can only be experienced in very few places. We need the right setting to find real peace within ourselves. Being exposed to the natural elements makes it easier to recharge our batteries. That’s what we call relaxation. All this is waiting for you with SevenCollection’s Algarve apartments.
Suddenly ready for a break? In a sun-drenched paradise that awakens the soul. Just a three-hour flight from Frankfurt to Faro. Bookable as a full package deal, including airport transfers on request. Our SevenCollection friends can always find new offers here. Please note that our discounts cannot be accumulated.
Booking directly with the owner doesn’t simply avoid commission fees - personal contact guarantees better service when clarifying any questions or requests.
By choosing SevenCollection, you are supporting a family-owned business.
Our main aim is to support the region and its people through sustainable tourism. This includes showing respect for the preservation of original structures and the landscape, as well as nature, flora, and fauna. Whether it’s about non-destructive, sustainable construction or supporting local craftsmen and producers.
You may check in from 4pm. Directions and details on how to access the accommodation will be sent to you 24 hours prior.
The accommodation must be vacated by 11am at the latest on the day of departure.
You may cancel your booking with SevenCollection at any time, whereby we reserve the right to claim compensation in accordance with the following conditions: if you cancel early, but no later than 30 days before the agreed overnight stay, you won’t incur any cancellation fees. If you cancel within less than 30 days, but still more than 7 days before the agreed overnight stay, then 50% of the price will be charged as compensation. Finally, if you cancel at short notice less than 7 days before you are due to arrive, the full price of the stay will be charged. These conditions may, however, change if a different agreement has been made at the time of booking. Please read our T&Cs for more information.
In order to give our guests the best possible price, the length of a minimum stay depends on both the season and occupancy. For example, the minimum stay in summer is five nights, whereas it is two nights in winter. There is a chance that shorter stays can be organised at short notice, but please contact us directly to discuss this.
Due to Salema’s central location, this is unfortunately not possible. The charm of the oldest part of the village with its footpaths and undisturbed proximity to the beach are essential for our Casas da Praia. Please refer to your check-in information to find the best way to navigate the old village to unload your luggage. If you wish to rent a private parking space nearby, then please let us know at the time of booking. In Carvoeiro, all Villas de Terra Calma have parking spaces right outside the accommodation. There is also street parking close to our Casas de Carvoeiro, which is usually easy to access.
We can gladly provide an extra bed for infants and toddlers free of charge. Our baby bed measures 120 x 60 cm and is suitable for young children up to around 3 years of age. We always change the bed linen every 7 days, as we do for parents. Please contact us if you require fresh bedding before then. Our laundry service is also available to use.
Yes, but only on request, so please contact us about this beforehand. For guests who wish to bring dogs, please note that we have some apartments designated specifically for bookings with pets. As we love animals, we would also like to point out that cats are part of everyday life here in Portugal, especially in Salema. Providing that you and your four-legged friend can handle this, well-behaved dogs are certainly welcome in SevenCollection accommodation.
No, our housekeeping team will take care of this. We only ask our guests to leave the accommodation in good condition on their departure date. Final cleaning fees to make the apartment shine before handover to the next guests is included in the rental price.
Every SevenCollection holiday apartment has Wi-Fi or fibre broadband. Please refer to your welcome documents once you have arrived to find your guest access details.
Of course. These are changed regularly by us – you will be given fresh towels in the middle of the week, and your bed linen will be changed weekly. If you forget to bring a spare beach towel, just let us know. A laundry service is available a tan additional charge, as is the daily cleaning of your apartment.
Yes, we offer this service for Villas de Terra Calma. After all, who wouldn’t want to wake up to fresh bread rolls waiting at the door for them in the morning. More details on this service will be given when you arrive. You can also learn more about the other completely legal and in no way immoral amenities our concierge service can provide.
In the centre of Carvoeiro, you will find a number of small shops. The closest supermarkets and petrol stations are only 10 minutes away by car and the shopping centres in Portimão are a 25-minute drive away. A small grocery store and a few local shops in the centre of Salema are within walking distance of the Casas da Praia. A 10-minute drive will lead you to a fantastic supermarket and the nearest petrol station. Lagos offers even larger shopping facilities which can be reached by car in 25 minutes.
No, none of our SevenCollection apartments are surrounded by heavy traffic or high-rise buildings. Quite the opposite! Our Casas da Praia in Salema are located in the old village where there is little to no vehicle access; our Villas de Terra Calma are in a reduced traffic zone on the outskirts of town; and our Casas de Carvoeiro are in a quiet cul-de-sac near the town centre.
This area is a real walker’s paradise. The Southwest Alentejo Nature Park and the coast offer countless walking trails and worthwhile destinations. For example, you can enjoy a walking tour from Carvoeiro to Ferragudo along the clifftops or walk a section of the fishing trail between Salema and Martinhal where you can even see dinosaur footprints.
In the small town of Salema, you will find a handful of restaurants serving seafood, Mediterranean, and international cuisine. There are also several hidden gems offering traditional Portuguese cuisine in the surrounding area.
The centre of Carvoeiro is full of restaurants to suit every taste. In the immediate vicinity of our Casas de Carvoeiro, we can highly recommend Encci, an elegant place for brunch and pizza that has live music and an international atmosphere. Encci also has an exclusive offer for SevenCollection guests, who can enjoy the 15% "Family & Friends" discount here at our family-owned restaurant.
At present, the tourist tax only applies to properties in Carvoeiro. The amount of tax due will be indicated during the SevenCollection booking process. It is not included in the price of the accommodation and must therefore be paid separately. SevenCollection will send you a web link which can be used to pay the tax in advance (with the exception of Terra Calma, where the tourist tax is paid on site during the check-in process). Should any change or introduction of new legal or regulatory fees be imposed by the relevant authorities, this will automatically be reflected in the price quoted on the day of billing.
