Everything was wonderful in the very little details! I regret not staying there longer. The owners are authenticaly sweet and ready to show you a real Portuguese experience (which you can also feel in the neighbouring café after work hours). The garden is AMAZING with ripe, fresh oranges you can pick and eat. The breakfast with the attention of the owner is by itself a sufficient reason to come.
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.

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!

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
Beautiful property with lots of extra thoughtful touches. Private patio in the sun with views of Monchique. Peaceful setting with great views and easy walking access into Silves. An Uber back in the evening was only €4. Lovely pool area with very comfy loungers and a convenient honesty bar if you wanted refreshments.Amazing breakfast with lots of homemade produce made by Martha. (especially the quiche!) Roberto and Martha were fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome-they even left us a welcome gift of local wine, water and crisps.
This is quite a small and ‘enclosed’ property with no real outside space but it is a very traditional property right in the centre of Silves. Such a beautiful place to experience Silves and perfectly equipped for our stay. A small bath with a lovely shower, comfortable bed and views to the front. Taking into account the excellent value…we absolutely loved everything about it. Sylvie was very welcoming and communication was very good.
Don't hesitate to stay at this lovely and lovingly cared for small hotel in such a beautiful part of Portugal. The hosts live on site and take care with every detail. The landscaping is beautiful and natural and abundant with an intermix of plants - we picked and ate a pomegranate! Bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely - beds and sheets quite nice, beautiful private view out the sliding doors. So many thoughtful details.
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 property and the room are so beautifully decorated! With its Moroccan style, it takes you back in time. It’s in the pure center of Silves, a few minutes walk from the main street but still you can breathe the peace and the calm of the old town. The breakfast, the service and the comfort of the room will definitely be worth many other visits in the near future!
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.
I liked that the apartment was a real house in a little street, not a big block. I loved the little quiet garden with a swimming pool, trees and shrubs and a patch of mint to make mint tea. It was great for me being right in Silves and just a few minutes from cafes and supermarkets as well as the bus stop, as i didnt have s car.
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 😄
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for those who seek peace and quiet, its beautifully situated in the Portuguese landscape and yet very close to the charming town of Silves and a short drive from most beaches. I would highly recommend this charming Quinta.
Lots of space in the villa, great for a couple of families.
Well-appointed villa with plenty of facilities, especially the kitchen.
Conveniently located for Silves with excellent restaurants and supermarkets.
Catarina and Tiago are very responsive and helpful hosts.
An absolute gem in the heart of an archetypal small Portuguese town. Simply couldn't speak highly enough of the hotel and its staff. Exquisitely refurbished, wonderful attention detail. Incredible value. Thrilled to have found it.
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.
Location was excellent. Employees were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was adequate. Views of the castle from the hotel were awesome. The pool and balcony off the lobby were both great..
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
The owners are super nice, easy check in, awesome location right next to town, good ac for the hot weather, lovely view from our room, easy drive to the Algarve beaches.
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
