8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Vicentina. Salema is a charming fishing village with lovely restaurants and beautiful surroundings. Staying in the villa feels like living in nature, with stunning views and a comfortable, warm atmosphere. The direct access to the Fisherman’s Trail was a big plus, offering great walking routes, and there are also good golf courses nearby. We would happily come back again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Villa Vicentina made an immediate impression; the views are truly spectacular. We have been coming to Salema for many years and had always been curious about this iconic house, so it was special to finally stay here and enjoy it ourselves. The elevated location offers great privacy. Both the drive up by car and the walk back are quite steep, but that is part of the experience and well worth it. The owner was very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions. We would happily return.
