It is a large bright apartment of 100 m2 divided by two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen and two terraces. The rooms are equipped with one double bed and the other with two single beds which can be joined together.

Our experience as a host, which counts for over three years, in addition to being gratified to be recognized as very good, has the biggest prize of all, as we have gained friends in various corners of the world. The Neighborhood Overview Tell guests in Portuguese what your neighborhood is like and what makes it unique. The apartment "Balcony Castle" is in a residential area, which was born in an old part of the city, where once there were cork factories. For this reason the building where it is located is called the Factory building. We can say that in that area are many of the memories of Silves's recent past, in a city with many cork factories and an associated social, political and economic history. The street designated by R. 1º de Maio lives up to its history and past. On the street there are still many of the homes of former residents, now inhabited by their relatives. On the other hand this apartment has fast and direct access to the city, the pedestrian walks, for those who like to walk or practice another type of exercise. Within a radius of fifty meters there are: cafes, patisserie, supermarket, pharmacy, restaurant / takeaway, laundry, butcher, neighborhood grocery store, auto shop, florist, hairdresser. Getting around Silves, as our guests always say, is in the center of the Algarve, has great access, including direct access to the motorway. However it benefits from the fact that it is a small town, very quiet and safe outside the hustle and bustle centers. Silves is about 50 meters from Faro Airport, where guests can travel and access a car hire, taxi or transfer. Hosts are available for transfers to the train station (2 km), or to hire a taxi or trnsfer. Lisbon is about 280km away and is 2h 30m by car or train and 3h 30m by bus. From and to Silves can be reached by bus or by train. Silves is a small town where distances are short and can be made on foot, however the fact that there is a garage and private parking in the building does not cause any hindrance if our guests use their car. Our home has internet access throughout the space, as it is fiber optic is very fast. The hot water connection, the connection switches of the various machines are properly marked and in the Guest Information book. In addition, we welcome guests and provide all explanations, as we usually do in our other house - Casa do Jardim. What we ask our guests is to treat our house as their own and yet to respect the (normal) building rules we make available in the house. What we consider most relevant is the compliance with the noise schedule, the period between 22h and 8h should be respected.
