“Perfect little cottage for couples in beautiful Silves”

Reviewed 30 Aug 2020

We enjoyed our stay very much, the cottage is lovely and perfect for a couple, situated in the calm, peaceful and romantic town of Silves. It was a strategically good point to start our daily trips (car recommended!) as the town is situated more or less right in the middle of the Algarve. We almost always found a parking place right next to the flat. The landlady was very nice and helpful, in advance she sent us documents with recommendations for restaurants, markets, the direction to the flat, the wifi key etc. Also she provided everything we asked for. All in all we are completely happy with our choice, would also come to the cottage again and we recommend it to all travellers who enjoy calmness and are looking fora less touristic but more traditional place to stay.
