This place was ok and Bettina seems to work hard to make it work. We were in Apt B, probably should have asked to move as we would have likely been very satisfied in a normal room. Problems with this unit include the number of steps ad lack of internet. We chose it due to the balcony but the shared... More

But don't tell anyone... Leave Lagos to the masses, here in Salema let's let the fishermen fish, the bread truck roll in and make room for a casual relaxed visit. I believe we had the best view in Salema. Breath taking view of the sea and easy view of the small city centre. We had a nice apartment with all... More

I loved this little inn. Don't expect ritz -- this is a tiny, seaside town in the western Algarve, not far from Cape Sagres. But do expect friendly locals and a warm welcome at this cozy b&b on a hill overlooking the Atlantic. A friend and I spent one night, arriving after a pleasant, 3-hour drive from Lisbon. Manager Bettina... More

This was a great place to stay. It is about 2 blocks from the beach. Very quiet and has free parking. Our room was simple but we had a large patio where we spent most of our time and did not really need the room. The breakfast was very good.

Stayed her at the end of our cycle trip of 7 days. Clean and comfortable rooms, lovely views from the breakfast room, and breakfast was lovely. Our host was very helpful in organising the taxi to Lagos the next day for our group, however it would seem that when we arrived at about 2 pm, we were earlier than expected.... More

We visited Salema last year several times to go to the beach and saw A Mare then and made a quick note. SO this year we stayed for 5 nights in Apartment A, which was great. We had the best view in Salema and breakfast every day looking over the beach was just lovely. Bettina who runs the apartments &... More

We had a very pleasant relaxing stay at the A Mare, and Bettina, the owner, was familiar and very helpful. We stayed in apartment B, which appears to not have the view that apartment A does, not as expansive, but it was more private, and it had a clothes line on the little patio for clothes and towels. The room... More
