Silves cottages

I stayed here for a month working remotely. The property was nicely located on a peaceful road only a 5 minute drive from Silves, with all the amenities including restaurants and supermarkets. The house is spacious, with three bedrooms. The house came with all the cooking and cleaning equipment you would need. Patricia, the host, was very communicative and helpful for any questions I had. The outside space is perfect for having a morning coffee in the sun and had a BBQ too. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking to wanting a relaxing stay whilst still being near to amenities. I had a wonderful time staying here and would be excited to come back at some point!

A group of friends stayed here for a hen do, and what a lovely experience. We had a late arrival of 1am and Helder was ready and waiting to greet us. The villa was immaculate, with some lovely touches. Helda had left fresh bread, ham cheese milk and coffee. The grounds are huge, lovely heated pool and jacuzzi and so much outdoor space! Not far in an uber to the centre of albufeira. Couldnt recommend enough

Property lived up to all expectations as described in previous reviews.

If you want a relaxing holiday In a rural setting but not too far inland that you can’t enjoy a visit to the beach, water parks and coastal restaurants - this is the place for you. Accommodation has everything you need and is cleaned to a high standard. You have the use of 2 pools on site, a BBQ area and outside eating area within a lovely orange and lime Grove. There is a games room with WiFi and an outside table tennis table. Filomena and her daughter are attentive hosts and are very happy to recommend places to visit and local restaurants. Accommodation does have a tv but no satellite channels - only Portuguese speaking channels. Car is required to get to restaurants and beach etc. But plenty to do if you want to go off site within 15 mins drive. Accomdation contains everything you need to self cater. We had a lovely holiday.

Property was very nice. Slightly disappointing that there was another villa next door that shared the pool. Perhaps it could be clearer on the ad but overall we loved it. Thanks

We stayed for a week as a party of five (two grandparents, our daughter and grandchildren aged 2yrs and 3 months.) The house is spacious and well equipped; we particularly liked the large enclosed patio which was very safe for a toddler to play in. We enjoyed using the pools, particularly the toddler pool where our 2 year old was able to walk about unaided (the main pool is very deep at one end.) Ana was very welcoming and helpful, and we much appreciated the fruit and drinks that were there on our arrival. A car is essential, but the roads are excellent and quiet and the local town of Silves was easy to negotiate with plenty of good restaurants and well-stocked supermarkets. There was a large free car-park by the children's playground near the river. We had a particularly lovely meal and were made very welcome (even with young children!) at O Barradas and we would recommend Churrasqueira Valdemar, Cafe Ingles and Cafe Da Rosa. As our first trip to Portugal we were very impressed and hope to return!

The host was helpful and friendly. You have to read the small print to realise that the house is split into 3 flats with shared garden and pool. This should be clear from the outset. Extremely basic but it’s cheap so can’t complain.
