Welcome to the historic town of Silves and our recently renovated townhouse! Enjoy the peace of a secluded garden with old stone walls and fruit trees. Explore a charming town on your doorstep. Nature walks, in the hills, begin only a kilometer away. To the South a short 15 km drive brings you to some beautiful beaches, cliffs and villages. The property consists of two guest houses. Each house has a private terrace but also shares a garden and common courtyard.

Hello. I am Thyl (pronounced "Teel"). In 2017 I moved to live in Silves, Portugal. I have always loved this warm cosy place and the friendly relaxed people. During the tourist season I guide and drive jeep and boat tours from Silves, with special rates for guests. In the calmer months I am an artist painter and enjoy the sunny hills and seascapes with their vivid colours. Belgian by nationality, but of mixed origin, I can help you in English, French, Dutch and Portuguese. Happy to respect your privacy but also keen to help and share my local knowledge when needed. Most of the time I live in the house next door on the street. You may not see much of me but I am available when needed, happy to chat and share my local knowledge.

Thyl’s home is located in Silves, Faro, Portugal. Silves is a small historic town on a hill, once it was the moorish capital of the Algarve. Above is a castle and below the Arade river. There are many charming cafes and restaurants but the city is calm compared to the coast. 15 km to the South there is a beautiful coastline with cliffs, beaches and little villages. Directly north begin the foothills of the Sierra de Monchique. Nearest small shop and café about 100 meters. Nearest large supermarket within 800 meters. Free parking. Space usually available on the road just outside the entrance. If you are unlucky you may need to search a little further away. A few buses leave from the town centre. Train station 4 km away. Trains to Lisbon and the North. Small local train along the coast.
