Really centrally located in Silves, safe area at night. Beautiful home with great facilities. On a lovely slope but not the hill top; makes stork spotting easy

Silves is a pretty and traditional Portugeese town with history and architecture and facilities for the tourist. It is a good place to visit. The deserted and boarded up trainstation looks like something out of an old western. Taking the train in the Algarve is great, but sad that the people let their trainstations decay. This is an otherwise great inroad to Silves but two kilometers from town. A geographical oddity.

I am spending three months in Portugal, travelling around, and Silves is one of my favourite finds. I loved all the storks and their nests, the castle on the top of the hill, and the abundance of nature. Our favourite restaurant was Cafe Ingles near the castle where we had a late dinner. There is a coffee shop, Ana & Joana, in a corner by the castle, which served amazing upside down orange cake. The owner was very kind and accommodating and made the visit memorable.
We walked most of the time and found it easy to get around. When we were looking for the museum, I stepped into an art shop and the owner came out on the street to point me in the right direction.

Silves had a small, walkable, historic downtown area.
Silves had a small, walkable, historic downtown area. We stayed close to the historic area so we walked to coffee shops, the park and shopping. We had dinner at four different restaurants for our four nights in Silves but unfortunately none of them was a dinner that I would say was fabulous. We went up to the castle but there was a sign on the door saying "STRIKE" so it was closed. It is a wonderful location to stay if you are visiting the Algarve because it is centrally located.

As every review this villa is a must !!!
As every review this villa is a must !!!spotless inside and out plenty of loungers umbrellas around the pool. Fantastic eating area inside and out. Every possible utensil you would need. Check in and out so easy with such helpful owners. We were a family of 7. 5 adults and 2 children. The kids refused to go to the water park or the beach as they loved being in the pool from morning till night. All toiletries were on all bathrooms along with plenty of toilet rolls. Plenty of towels. Will we be back I really hope so. Thank you Joseph and your son Joseph for our wonderful welcome and our complimentary bottle of port and water. You do yourselves proud . Keep up the good work you put into your beautiful villa and thank you for allowing us to share special family time .

The castle was great, clean and tidy and the views from there were excellant. The narrow streets were well supplied with interesting shops, many snack bars and some really great resturants.
Walks along the river were very pleasent with many storks gliding overhead.
The free car parking was much appreciated and the place seems to abound with pleasent friendly people
Absolute perfect Villa. Wonderful hosts, very accommodating and friendly. Villa was spotlessly clean, pool was great, games room/gym was fantastic. We loved sitting on the roof terrace watching the sunset. Surrounding area is very quiet, would recommend hiring a car to get around. Roughly a 15 minute walk to silves town, good choice of restaurants and a Lidl for shopping. Not got a bad word to say, perfect place for a family holiday. 10/10!!!! We will definitely be going back and recommending to friends! Thank you José & Rita 😊
We’ve truly loved our stay at Mosaiko. The room, restaurant, and staff were fantastic. The property was well decorated with the Arabic influence that used to dominate the region hundreds of years ago. The entire property was perfect and exactly what we were looking for in the Algarve. Silves is such a great small town and perfect central location to explore the Algarve. We leave with happy memories and hope to visit again. Thank you.

Don't hesitate to stay at this lovely and lovingly cared for small hotel in such a beautiful part of Portugal. The hosts live on site and take care with every detail. The landscaping is beautiful and natural and abundant with an intermix of plants - we picked and ate a pomegranate! Bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely - beds and sheets quite nice, beautiful private view out the sliding doors. So many thoughtful details.
Loved the pool, the games room, the outdoor kitchen. Rooms were big and stayed cool.
Short drive to a lovely beach and a water park.
Silves had great restaurants and a big supermarket with everything we needed.
Rita and Jose were very friendly and gave us their numbers in case we needed anything. Were flexible when we realised we had to check out earlier than we originally thought.
The layout and architecture! We very much enjoyed the privacy and the small pool and having a nice dining and breakfast space outside. The design was fantastic!
The location inside Silves was great with walking distance to restaurants and food (supermarket and market)
Our host was great, communicated excellently and provided lots of helpful hints.
Quintal do Castelo has a fantastic location at the top of Silves town with beautiful views overlooking the cathedral, castle and town. Loved the garden and pool which are rare amenities in the middle of Silves. An oasis of calm and beauty!
And thanks to Nicolaine, who greeted us and was very helpful throughout our stay.
Lovely, spacious room with ensuite facilities, very clean with friendly hosts. Breakfast was a good selection, served on the upper balcony with views over looking the Silves valley. Lovely pool with mini bar area. Plenty of seating around the pool so you can catch the sun at all times of the day.
We loved it! This place is a gem - and my boyfriend and I had an amazing time at the Gato Preto de Silves. We would love to come back anytime. The staff is really nice, the vibe is relaxing, it's private and just an all in all an absolute hidden gem!
The lady at the property was very nice and sweet. I felt like the service was very personal and genuine. The breakfast is served in a room with an impressive wine cave. It is walking distance from the castle of Silves (about 20 minutes).
Property was spacious and well stocked. outdoor areas were lovely. The on site washer was a nice surprise. Silves was a great base for exploring the Algarve. while not on the coast, the town was quiet amd full of Medieval charm.
Extremely pleasant stay in Silves. Hosts were friendly, willing to help with everything. I was travelling with my mother who really enjoyed the stay and praised the accommodation. We will visit again some time!
An elegant hotel with a beautiful terrasse facing the old city - the castle and the cathedral. The room is comfortable and nicely decorated and the breakfast is good. An excellent value for money!
The staffs were very friendly and the breakfast was very nice with sweet oranges and super delicious home-made cake (cannot stop eating the cake). The hotel is close to the river and city center.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend
+ Very centrally located in Silves - easy walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go.
Comfortable, spacious, thoughtfully decorated rooms.
Lovely breakfast.
Excellent value for money hotel. Simple, traditional decor. Very clean and comfortable. Super location with wonderful castle view from the terrace. Staff are always very friendly and helpful.
Really centrally located in Silves, safe area at night. Beautiful home with great facilities. On a lovely slope but not the hill top; makes stork spotting easy
