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
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 😊
The location is excellent and there are many restaurants around the hotel including the awesome restaurant at the hotel. We could walk down to Castle of Silves and enjoyed the summer concert. Although some of staff did not staff did not speak English, we felt that we were so welcomed by everyone! Breakfast was an extra for us as we did not expect such delicious home-made eggs, breakfast sandwich, and many more for the price we paid.
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 property and the room are so beautifully decorated! With its Moroccan style, it takes you back in time. It’s in the pure center of Silves, a few minutes walk from the main street but still you can breathe the peace and the calm of the old town. The breakfast, the service and the comfort of the room will definitely be worth many other visits in the near future!
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 rooms and property are beautiful (photos do not do it justice) and the hosts attentive. Breakfast was lovely. The property is in the lower part of the town of Silves near lots of shops and cafes and close to the large free car parks. Easy to get into out of town. You really feel you are part of an exotic location. Has a shared sun terrace too
This is a great house! Comfortably appointed, excellent kitchen, amazing roof terrace. Peter was there to show us how everything worked and it was nice knowing he wasn’t far away if we needed help with anything (we didn’t). The location makes for easy sightseeing and dining in Silves. Plenty of on street parking right around the house.
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.

Silves is a quiet town, slept really peacefully. There were nice restaurants, scenery around the property, and in our opinion not too far from the beaches. Parking was not an issue. Our room was superior, very clean, and it was really beautifully decorated. Food downstairs was natural and so delicious.
Great value for money in a lovely family run hotel just walking distance from the centre of town. Breakfast was stand out! Katerina was so helpful and the place itself was a really interesting and lovely set of buildings. The hotel had parking inside the premises.
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
Good position near to everything in Silves.
No outside space except the pavement!
Carried a chair across to sit on. Not the best arrangement. I have no complaints
Re the house.
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
