2 bedroom townhouse with roof terace and garden in the historic centre of Silves

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 the charming historic town of Silves 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 sandy 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 installed a heat pump system in the living area and kitchen which does both heating and air conditioning. In the bedrooms there are electric radiators and fans.

We enjoyed our stay. Silves is a lovely town and the apartment is centrally located so it’s easy to walk to all the sights. With a car it’s also easy to get to the coast. Thylbert left us great recommandations on all the things to do in the area. We would return.

Great place, cute town

The apartment was exactly as it was described. The outdoor space was lovely. We had a minor issue the first day and our host, Thyl, arrived to address it within five minutes. He was wonderfully informative about the town and was very helpful with recommendations. Thyl also does tours and we thoroughly recommend. Thank you!

Hidden Gem

We loved our stay is Silves. Thyl's townhouse and garden are even better than the online pictures. Tucked away behind a gate on one of Portugal's old cobblestone streets you'll find one of two well equipped, spacious and cozy townhouses. But it is the backyard garden that was idealic ! Flowering vines and citrus trees, lawn chairs to lounge in and a roof top garden, perfect for breakfast or evenings with a panoramic view of the surrounding village. Thyl was available at all times for any questions or tips...we highly recommend this location !!

Silves Apt 24

We had a great time in Silves. Thyl is a fantastic host, and we loved many things about the town and the house. The town is very charming, and there are truly excellent restaurants. The market was also fun, with the best oranges I have ever tasted. The house had a fantastic garden and the terrace, pictured in the listing, is also very agreeable. We had two problems: the main bed was very uncomfortable and shaky, it was impossible to move without waking up my partner, and viceversa. The other problem is privacy: the guests in the other apartment (sharing a garden) must walk by bedroom windows in order to get in and out of the house. I woke up one morning being watched by four teenagers, which was kind of creepy. It is hard to prevent something like that happen if you want to sleep with the window partially open, since there is no AC, but what else can you do? I was sorry that these two things bothered me, because I liked the house and the town, and did have a good time. Something people should know is that the nearest beaches were very crowded. We ended up driving almost an hour, but the beaches we found then were breathtakingly beautiful. Ocean is very cold even in August.

We loved staying in this Duplex in Silves. Thyl the owner was very helpful. Gave us great tips about where to go and what he would recommend doing. The Duplex had everything you need to make your stay very confortable. The backyard was so beautiful and very private. Enjoyed dinner in the picnic area a couple of nights. The views from our private varanda were breath taking. Cafe's restaraunts, and shops were all walking distsnce about 5 minutes. Would definately come back.

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.

Absolutely beautiful home and property!

We've stayed in many rentals in several countries, and this was easily one of our favorites. The house is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The shared garden is beautiful (full of citrus and fig trees). We especially loved the private rooftop garden, perfect for stargazing at night and enjoying sunny days in Silves. The host is very helpful, yet respectful of your privacy. If you're planning on visiting the Algarve, this is the place for you. We only wished we'd arranged to stay longer. Definitely a slice of heaven on earth!

A wonderful place to stay that felt like home from the moment I arrived! Comfortable and well equipped, it had everything that I needed. The rooms get dark quite early in autumn/winter, but you can still catch some sun on the rooftop terrace or the garden. Thyl is a great host and was always quick to reply to any questions. I’d be happy to stay here again!

Séjour correct, sans plus...

Agréable accueil de la part du propriétaire. La ville (village) de Silves est plaisant à visiter, la location étant à quelques minutes du centre. Centres commerciaux à proximité. Voilà pour les points positifs. Maintenant, cherchant un cadre verdoyant, il est difficile (voire, impossible) d'en profiter lorsque les deux logements sont occupés, l'intimité n'étant plus au rendez-vous. Quant au toit terrasse, il doit être très agréable en dehors de la période estivale, car, impossible d'y mettre un parasol (celui-ci pouvant s'envoler) et par voie de conséquence, la chaleur n'est pas tenable. La location (spartiate et vétuste) reste dans son jus, il ne faut pas être regardant. Les chaises ne sont pas exploitables, la planche à repasser rouillée, la propreté de la SDB (moisissures) n'est pas à la hauteur, le ménage n'est pas fait en profondeur. Le propriétaire en a été informé lors de notre départ. Le logement est sombre, cependant, lors des fortes températures, les chambres emmagasinent tout de même la chaleur... Un inventaire devrait être fait par le propriétaire sur la vaisselle et la batterie de cuisine afin de renouveler certains éléments. Bref, un point de chute correct mais en dessous de ce que les photos et les commentaires pouvaient nous laisser espérer.
