About this property

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 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.

Central location, well equipped property
Great info pack with all the details we needed for easy orientation. Lovely welcome pack in the fridge. Bedrooms quite small but sufficient. Enjoyed the roof terrace at sunset. We'd certainly choose this property again. Thank you, Thyl!

Location agréable et calme prés du château
Logement agréable, bien équipé et assez vaste pour 4 personnes. On descend assez vite au centre ville et il est assez facile de se garer a proximité. Suggestion : quelques assiettes de plus et surtout un micro-ondes serait apprécié. Merci au propriétaire qui a été tres réactif lors de la panne du lave-linge

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!

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.

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.

Place is really a perfect location to explore Silves and the surroundings, including the Algarve coast. Also the place itself is very nice, clean, just as described on the platform.

Een oase in een fraaie stad
Thyl is een goede gastheer. De woning is ruim, ligt in het oude centrum, heeft een fijn dakterras en een fraaie tuin met mandarijn- en citroenbomen. Zon en schaduw dus. Mooi kasteel en schitterende kerk op loopafstand, ook een Lidl. Veel terrassen om iets te eten en te drinken. Silves is zeer de moeite waard.

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 !!

Erg schoon en uitstekende ligging in Silves.
Alles prima geregeld Appartement is schoon en voorzien van alle comfort. Vooral in de zomer comfortabel met een mooie tuin. In de winter binnen erg koud vooral s avonds. Kacheltje geeft niet voldoende warmte. Gastvrouw Carol was heel behulpzaam. Compliment 👍

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.

Das Haus u. die Lage sind einfach fantastisch. Mitten im Ort, aber trotzdem sehr ruhig. Das Highlight ist die Dachterrasse, von der aus man einen wunderbaren Ausblick hat.

About the host

Hosted by Thylbert Gheyselinck

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Quiet garden and beautiful rooftop terrace near the historic centre.
