The owners were brilliant. We arrived a little late but were there to greet us. Our request at breakfast was deal with and we had a brilliant stay. We even got to use the little kitchen to cook a couple of meals. It's a little walk from the town but in the lovely weather of the Algarve it's no problem at all. We have stayed in various places in Silves but can honestly say this is one of the most enjoyable. I'm sorry but I've forgotten the names of the two owners, but they were brilliant and so friendly.
Located within 11 km of Slide & Splash Water Park and 14 km of Arade Congress Centre in Silves, Mosaiko 5 Suites provides accommodation with seating area.

Silves is a small town with a river running through it that isn't too "Touristy". There are plenty of bars, restaurants, shops and cafes. The cathederal and the Castle are worh a visit and the Medieval festival was jolly!
Beaches are an easy drive away
Its great if you're looking for a quieter holiday but still with enough variety of places to eat to keep you going for a week or two!

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 .

A beautiful, peaceful place and well spaced cabins. Breakfast was amazing and Valeria made sure we were full and that there was a variety of options available. We had the common area pretty much to ourselves during our stay, shared only with very friendly cats. Silves is some distance away if you don't have a car and there are no shops nearby but we managed with the recommended taxi service.
The flat is perfect. Beautiful, and has everything in it you could possibly need. And more! It has the best view in Silves from the balcony, and the best possible location. Very central. Everything easy to get to. Having this flat made my trip!! Lovely hosts! Everything easy and clear. I want to come back!
Our room had a huge window with clear view of silves cathedral and castle which were only a short walk away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and with a good breakfast included was exceptional value for money
