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.

Ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen

Das Häuschen war mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Auch Putzmittel gab es (!). Der Vermieter Thyl ist freundlich, sehr hilfsbereit und kommuniziert offen. Der Garten und die Dachterrasse sind ein Traum - wenn die Sonne scheint. Leider gab es ein paar Regentage, dann ist die Wohnung etwas kühl. Aber es gibt Heizgeräte.

Really pleasant stay

Very nice appartment, everything was as promised, all the small details (soap, washing supplies, milk, beer etc) were taken care of, and the appartment was extremely clean and well maintained. Thyl was very helpful and friendly and seemed very forthcoming. This was our second stay in one of Thyls appartments, and we would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Sweet Silves

Good location with pretty garden and rooftop deck. Apartment itself was basic but practical. Host lives nearby and is very responsive. Wifi was unstable.

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.

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.
