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. And as if that wasn’t enough, Thyl is a very friendly host, and always helpful when needed. Would love to come one day again :)
We enjoyed our stay. Silves is a lovely town and the apartment is centrally located so it’s easy to walk to all the sights. With a car it’s also easy to get to the coast. Thylbert left us great recommandations on all the things to do in the area. We would return.
A wonderful place to stay that felt like home from the moment I arrived! Comfortable and well equipped, it had everything that I needed. The rooms get dark quite early in autumn/winter, but you can still catch some sun on the rooftop terrace or the garden. Thyl is a great host and was always quick to reply to any questions. I’d be happy to stay here again!
Excellent property with shared garden. Perfect for our 5 days exploring the Algarve. Silves is a great little town. The house is walking distance to everything. Parking was never a problem and Thyl was an outstanding host.
Welcoming and accommodating host, lovely garden and roof top terrace. The house included everything we needed to feel at home. We felt very much a part of our neighbourhood. Silves is a beautiful unspoiled town.
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!
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.
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!
Good location with pretty garden and rooftop deck. Apartment itself was basic but practical. Host lives nearby and is very responsive. Wifi was unstable.
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.

It was lovely to host such an open smiling family. They are always welcome !
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
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.
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.

Good morning Jeremy
Your review is my first 3 star. It is never pleasant to receive criticism but I thank you for the detailed feedback as it brings attention to what I can improve. I wil try to deal with the issues you raise point by point, indicating where I agree or disagree, and what I plan to do about it.
1) Regarding access to green space, I think this problem is mainly about personal choice and sensitivity. In the property descripion it is clearly explained that the two houses, on the property, share a common courtyard and garden (as well as each having their own private outside space). If full privacy is important to you than maybe you could have chosen an other formula more suited to your needs.
2) I understand your disapointment with the lack of shade on the roof terrace (although there is shade in other parts of the property). In the summer it is hot during the day but pleasant in the morning and evening. Because of sudden winds I find it dangerous to put a parasol on the roof which can blow away. However (thanks to your feedback) I have looked into other more stable systems and have found a solution (which will be implemented at the latest this coming spring).
3) There was indeed a problem with one of the chairs in the kitchen (but not all of them). I have already replaced the whole set of chairs
4) You mention that the rooms were warm during the day. Although there are fans (and I personally find the temperatures pleasant inside) I do realize this could be a problem for some guests. Indeed while you were in Silves we experienced the worst heat wave since I live in Portugal. This is why I have decided to purchase an electric heat pump system which will provide both air conditioning and heating in the house. This will be installed in October or November when the house is vacant.
5) There was a spot of rust on the ironing board and it has been replaced.
6) You showed me some small imperfections in the cleaning. Almost always I do a quick check of the house after the cleaning (and indeed am often present in the house doing the ironing while my cleaning lady does the cleaning) but this time it was not possible and I apologize the cleaning was not completely up to the normal standard. However I also feel there was some exaggeration. You suggested a space had not been cleaned for months and this is simply not true
7) As suggested one utensil has been added to the inventary which I consider, otherwise, adequate and complete.
Best Regards
Thyl
La location bénéficie d'une bonne situation pour visiter l'ouest de l'Algarve. Le logement est propre. Le propriétaire de bon conseil que ce soit pour les visites à faire ou les restaurants.
Un excellent séjour
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.
The apartment is in a lovely quiet village. The roof top garden is very accessible and perfect for breakfast it a drink in the evening. There’s a light there so it was just perfect for us. We loved it!
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 !!
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 👍
