Welcome to Sunny Silves and our recently renovated townhouse! Enjoy the sun 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 directly behind the city and the coastline and beaches, are just a short 15 kilometre drive.
Our property consists of 2 recently renovated townhouses in the centre of Silves. Each house has a private terrace, but they share a common courtyard and garden.
Your house is next to the garden. To access it you need to walk along a common courtyard. It has a living room with open kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a hall and a bathroom with shower.
From your private terrace you can have a meal, enjoy the sun or relax immersed in green. The garden has old stone walls and fruit trees.
The old town is on your doorstep. Silves is a town on a hill. Above is the old Moorish castle (once the capital of the Algarve) and below the Arade river. There are monuments, charming restaurants and cafes, but the city is calm compared to the nearby coast.
Only a short drive of 15 km brings you to the Southern coast. There are a few long flat expanses but mostly there are cliffs, intimate beaches and pretty villages.
Directly to the north of Silves begin the foothills of the Sierra de Monchique. It is a beautiful place for nature walks and one feels far from everything.

No air conditioning but thick walls. I find the summer temperature pleasant inside but there are electric fans in the bedrooms if you are too hot. In the winter the days are usually sunny but the evenings can get chilly. In the living room there is a wood stove and a portable modern gas heater. The bedrooms have electric radiators.
