On the Rua da Bela Vista or “street of the beautiful view”, Salema’s fishermen used to build in a prime location. Casa Varanda takes pride of place here. It has enough space for a regular terrace right outside the front door – with a table, benches, and outdoor shower, it’s perfect for a family gathering at the end of the day. All that separates you from the beach is an untamed slope, cats, and a few boathouses.

The sound of the waves nearby permeates your life, whether the door to the living area is open or not. It swooshes over the cushions and into the kitchen; it climbs the narrow, white wrought-iron staircase that generations of fishermen have used to access the top floor; it gently rocks the people in the three bedrooms to sleep before releasing them back into the day.
You’ll instantly fall in love with the blue and white tiled bench on the tiny terrace next door! And don’t worry – the Portuguese neighbours either side of you live their own quiet lives. Relax and enjoy the spectacle of the sea, sky, and tides. For those who want to explore a little more, the surrounding area has a lot to offer.
