Everything was wonderful in the very little details! I regret not staying there longer. The owners are authenticaly sweet and ready to show you a real Portuguese experience (which you can also feel in the neighbouring café after work hours). The garden is AMAZING with ripe, fresh oranges you can pick and eat. The breakfast with the attention of the owner is by itself a sufficient reason to come.
Located within 11 km of Slide & Splash Water Park and 14 km of Arade Congress Centre in Silves, Mosaiko 5 Suites provides accommodation with seating area.

The breakfast was the best meal we have ever had at a Bed & Breakfast. A large glass of purified water, with choice of juice and coffee. I love French Omelettes and this chef made them perfectly! Bacon, 5 types of Fruit, Toasts and choices of jam specially hand made in the most darling restaurant with the most authentic Mediterranean decor. There were two sinks in the bathroom made of colored tiles with brass hardware. The Velvet cover on the sofa was so authentic and beautiful, we were afraid to sit on it. The drapes, duvet, shams and bed table covering all were custom made to match. This was a very high end and expensively furnished hotel. Even though the room was above the street where people were dining outdoors, the windows closed tight and the walls were thick and no noise was heard. Also the wine provided at no cost was the best red wine I have ever tasted.
Set within 12 km of Slide & Splash Water Park and 15 km of Arade Congress Centre, Casa Riad Yasmin offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Silves.

A stay I would reccomend to all. Great house tucked into quiet roads next to Silves. Franco and Cidália were exceptional hosts and were always available to help at any time. With multiple toilets around the house, bbq and pizza oven, a large pool and a games room staying here will make you never want to leave!

Loads of interesting history and some amazing locations to visit. Everywhere was walking distance, although some may find some of the inclines a little challenging. Ubers are plenty, cheap and the drivers are very professional and friendly.
Indeed everyone there was, in my experience, friendly and welcoming and very helpful. I always felt very welcome and at ease.
The restaurants and bars were great - the food and drink (especially the rose wine and port), was exceptional.
Just one word of warning - the mosquitoes (certainly in April) were voracious and vicious. Take some repellant with you, along with your favourite antihistamine if you are sensitive to insect bites.

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 .

Great garden, very secure for our dog.
Great garden, very secure for our dog.
Not in Silves, about 10 minutes by car to the local village Sao Marcos which has bars and mini markets. Lovely walks all around.
No TV or washing machine. All condiments provided as well as providing us with bottles of wine and water when we arrived
Our hosts Jacqueline and Hans were great. They communicated with us about arrival, gave us lots of ideas of places to visit, and best routes for travelling.
I also appreciated that Hans made me bread for breakfast as I am gluten intolerant, a real treat.
The house was just outside Silves, but really easy to get into the main town, and it was set up on the hill so the views were lovely. Nice to have a pool to come back to after a busy day out and about, and access to an outside kitchen and bar area.
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.
Philip and Petra.
The hotel is located right in the centre of Silves a beautiful historic town. Despite this it is very quiet and I heard no noise from other guests. My room was extremelly spacious. I was given a lovely bottle of wine and water provided every day. Breakfast is downstairs in the restaurant and was delicious yogourt, museli and honey and fruit, fresh orange juice, hot beverage and eggs with fresh bread and jams. Wonderful!
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.
The location is amazing. Right in the centre of Silves town. I parked right outside the property, and walked everywhere. I didn´t need my car again until I left after the visit. The property is an old little townhouse and very typical of the area which is why I chose it. The host is very helpful and answered any questions I had immediately
Very unique place with a lot of history and with cultural value. House is very big. Kitchen is great, well equipped and with many treats from the owners (fresh bread, coffee, milk, canned fish, a bottle of wine and much more). My favorite part was the yard with nice area to rest. Owners were really kind. I was also happy to discover Silves.
Stayed here for many years and was great as usual. Ideal situation on the outskirts of Silves with a large car park. Essential for this area. There is also an outdoor pool for summer time use.
Also within walking distance of some good restaurants.
Ideal for couples or for very young families who are not looking for nightlife.
I liked that the apartment was a real house in a little street, not a big block. I loved the little quiet garden with a swimming pool, trees and shrubs and a patch of mint to make mint tea. It was great for me being right in Silves and just a few minutes from cafes and supermarkets as well as the bus stop, as i didnt have s car.
Incredibly warm host, Sarah, who welcomed us upon arrival. Beautiful swimming pool. Tiny balcony looked out on orange groves and distant hills - gorgeous! And the breakfast was the best we’ve had in Portugal - and we’ve had some 5 star hotels. It was carefully curated and beautifully presented - in the orange grove no less 😄
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.
Wonderful little family run (?) hotel, mega helpful with decent safe motorbike parking. Heaving on Saturday night but space in restaurant for a decent meal. All staff tried hard to make us comfortable. Easy walk to the castle and an interesting town.
This was a pleasant Hotel just outside the town of Silves. A short (700Meter) walk along along the river leads to Restaurants and the downtown area. The room was clean, the breakfast excellent, and the view from the room spectacular.
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.
It was just what we expected a great base for staying in Silves at a great price
Parking was never a problem but you should have an automatic or be good a hill starts and tight squeeze’s
