Incredibly warm host, Sarah, who welcomed us upon arrival. Beautiful swimming pool. Tiny balcony looked out on orange groves and distant hills - gorgeous! And the breakfast was the best we’ve had in Portugal - and we’ve had some 5 star hotels. It was carefully curated and beautifully presented - in the orange grove no less 😄

Silves is a quiet town, slept really peacefully. There were nice restaurants, scenery around the property, and in our opinion not too far from the beaches. Parking was not an issue. Our room was superior, very clean, and it was really beautifully decorated. Food downstairs was natural and so delicious.

Really centrally located in Silves, safe area at night. Beautiful home with great facilities. On a lovely slope but not the hill top; makes stork spotting easy

Loads of interesting history and some amazing locations to visit. Everywhere was walking distance, although some may find some of the inclines a little challenging. Ubers are plenty, cheap and the drivers are very professional and friendly.
Indeed everyone there was, in my experience, friendly and welcoming and very helpful. I always felt very welcome and at ease.
The restaurants and bars were great - the food and drink (especially the rose wine and port), was exceptional.
Just one word of warning - the mosquitoes (certainly in April) were voracious and vicious. Take some repellant with you, along with your favourite antihistamine if you are sensitive to insect bites.

Silves is a pretty and traditional Portugeese town with history and architecture and facilities for the tourist. It is a good place to visit. The deserted and boarded up trainstation looks like something out of an old western. Taking the train in the Algarve is great, but sad that the people let their trainstations decay. This is an otherwise great inroad to Silves but two kilometers from town. A geographical oddity.

I am spending three months in Portugal, travelling around, and Silves is one of my favourite finds. I loved all the storks and their nests, the castle on the top of the hill, and the abundance of nature. Our favourite restaurant was Cafe Ingles near the castle where we had a late dinner. There is a coffee shop, Ana & Joana, in a corner by the castle, which served amazing upside down orange cake. The owner was very kind and accommodating and made the visit memorable.
We walked most of the time and found it easy to get around. When we were looking for the museum, I stepped into an art shop and the owner came out on the street to point me in the right direction.

Silves had a small, walkable, historic downtown area.
Silves had a small, walkable, historic downtown area. We stayed close to the historic area so we walked to coffee shops, the park and shopping. We had dinner at four different restaurants for our four nights in Silves but unfortunately none of them was a dinner that I would say was fabulous. We went up to the castle but there was a sign on the door saying "STRIKE" so it was closed. It is a wonderful location to stay if you are visiting the Algarve because it is centrally located.

As every review this villa is a must !!!
As every review this villa is a must !!!spotless inside and out plenty of loungers umbrellas around the pool. Fantastic eating area inside and out. Every possible utensil you would need. Check in and out so easy with such helpful owners. We were a family of 7. 5 adults and 2 children. The kids refused to go to the water park or the beach as they loved being in the pool from morning till night. All toiletries were on all bathrooms along with plenty of toilet rolls. Plenty of towels. Will we be back I really hope so. Thank you Joseph and your son Joseph for our wonderful welcome and our complimentary bottle of port and water. You do yourselves proud . Keep up the good work you put into your beautiful villa and thank you for allowing us to share special family time .

Great garden, very secure for our dog.
Great garden, very secure for our dog.
Not in Silves, about 10 minutes by car to the local village Sao Marcos which has bars and mini markets. Lovely walks all around.
No TV or washing machine. All condiments provided as well as providing us with bottles of wine and water when we arrived
Loved the pool, the games room, the outdoor kitchen. Rooms were big and stayed cool.
Short drive to a lovely beach and a water park.
Silves had great restaurants and a big supermarket with everything we needed.
Rita and Jose were very friendly and gave us their numbers in case we needed anything. Were flexible when we realised we had to check out earlier than we originally thought.
The view of the castle in a darling town. The funky atmosphere of the old, dark, worn quirky hotel does have a nice, quaint atmosphere of abandon, if you have an eye for these things. The green nature and country air around the place. All this place needs to prosper is complete staff-change: To service minded professionals who pride themselves in making the guests feel welcome.
Everything was perfect. It was a beautiful stay. The staff was exceptional, the room was elegant with lots of space and a comfy bed. Breakfast was included and was exceptional as well. The service and the accommodations were exceptional. Just a short walk to the castle and a two minute walk to a free parking lot, the location was ideal to explore beautiful Silves.
The layout and architecture! We very much enjoyed the privacy and the small pool and having a nice dining and breakfast space outside. The design was fantastic!
The location inside Silves was great with walking distance to restaurants and food (supermarket and market)
Our host was great, communicated excellently and provided lots of helpful hints.
The location is amazing. Right in the centre of Silves town. I parked right outside the property, and walked everywhere. I didn´t need my car again until I left after the visit. The property is an old little townhouse and very typical of the area which is why I chose it. The host is very helpful and answered any questions I had immediately
Very unique place with a lot of history and with cultural value. House is very big. Kitchen is great, well equipped and with many treats from the owners (fresh bread, coffee, milk, canned fish, a bottle of wine and much more). My favorite part was the yard with nice area to rest. Owners were really kind. I was also happy to discover Silves.
Incredibly warm host, Sarah, who welcomed us upon arrival. Beautiful swimming pool. Tiny balcony looked out on orange groves and distant hills - gorgeous!

Precious place in the rural area just 8 min by car from Silves. The place is beautiful, calm, suited for both couples and families. Hosts are fantastic people : welcoming and full of recommendations. Do not hesitate, it's the perfect place to enjoy and visit the south Algarve region !! We will come back with our kids !!
A stay I would reccomend to all. Great house tucked into quiet roads next to Silves. Franco and Cidália were exceptional hosts and were always available to help at any time. With multiple toilets around the house, bbq and pizza oven, a large pool and a games room staying here will make you never want to leave!
Nice people, easy location for walking round Silves and the Riad is a calm oasis. Lovely.
The first breakfast was a little unusual but partly because it was just too big and varied. Once we made it clear what we did and didn't like subsequent days were fine. Freshly prepared, good ingredients
Property was spacious and well stocked. outdoor areas were lovely. The on site washer was a nice surprise. Silves was a great base for exploring the Algarve. while not on the coast, the town was quiet amd full of Medieval charm.
Extremely pleasant stay in Silves. Hosts were friendly, willing to help with everything. I was travelling with my mother who really enjoyed the stay and praised the accommodation. We will visit again some time!
The location, within Silves, is pleasant and suggestive. A large free car park is nearby, very convenient. the temperature is wonderful, because you don't suffer from the heat. The house is clean.
It was just what we expected a great base for staying in Silves at a great price
Parking was never a problem but you should have an automatic or be good a hill starts and tight squeeze’s
Beautiful location in the centre of town, wonderful views. Gorgeous garden. Silves is a lovely town, lots of lovely restaurants within walking distance of accommodation.
Really centrally located in Silves, safe area at night. Beautiful home with great facilities. On a lovely slope but not the hill top; makes stork spotting easy
