About this property

Welcome to Sunny Silves and our renovated townhouse! Enjoy the sun on your rooftop terrace or in the peace of a secluded garden with old stone walls and fruit trees. Explore a charming historic town on your doorstep. Nature walks, in the hills, begin a kilometer away and the coastline and beaches, are a short 15 kilometer drive to the south

Our property consists of 2 recently renovated town houses in the centre of Silves. Each house has a private terrace but they also share a common courtyard and garden.

Your house is the first one. It has a front door on the street and also direct access to the common courtyard. It has a hall, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living space with open kitchen and a laundry area. From your private rooftop terrace you can enjoy the view. and sunbathe. You can also have a meal outside in the courtyard or relax in the garden.

The historic centre is on your doorstep. Silves is a small town on a hill. Above is the old Moorish castle (once the capital of the Algarve) and below the Arade river. There are monuments and many charming restaurants and cafés, but the city is calm compared to the nearby coast.

Only a short drive brings you to the Southern coast. There are a few long flat expanses but mainly cliffs, intimate beaches and pretty villages.

Directly north of Silves begin the foothills of the Sierra de Monchique. It is a beautiful place for nature walks and one feels quickly away from everything.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

There are no parking restrictions, with a bit of luck you should be able to park on the road close to the house.

Nearest small shop and café about 100 meters

Nearest supermarket, 800 meters

There is internet but no TV

In October 2023 I istalled in the living area and kitchen a heat pump system which does both heating and air conditioning. In the bedrooms there are electric radiators and fans.

Very helpful host, great location, lovely backyard

Thylbert was super! When my husband banged his leg on the table just when we arrived he rushed to get a bag of ice and drove me to the pharmacy to get Tylenol (it was a really big bump!). He was not only helpful but we had some fun conversations with him and we truly hope our paths cross again. The place is in a great location near to everything, the kitchen was one of the best equipped kitchens we visited during our stay in Portugal , the place is clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful shared backyard garden while sitting in the shade of orange and lemon trees. Occasional there was a fellow traveler from the Appartement next door in the back yard which only lead to further great conversations. The place is equipped with a washing machine, and again is very clean and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Thylbert Gheyselinck

Hello, I am Thyl (pronounced "Teel"). I have always loved this warm cosy country and moved here in 2017. During the tourist season I guide and drive Jeep Safaris and River Cruises (www.silvestours.com) and the rest of the year I am an artist painter. Belgian by nationality but of mixed origin I speak English, French, Dutch and Portuguese. Most of the time I live in the house next door on the street. I respect your privacy but am available for help or tips when needed.

Why they chose this property

First of all, I love the location. Silves is a beautiful historic town, with lively places to hang out but at the same time more "authentic" and calm than the nearby coast. The hills are in a walkable distance and the sea a short drive.
Second of all, the garden. It really is in the city and yet it is also green, peaceful and private.
