Description

Are you looking for a cosy refuge, completely modernised two years ago, where you can feel extremely comfortable, right in the historic heart of Silves, the former capital of the Algarve, still feeling the Moorish charm that for more than five centuries punctuated the quality of life in this prosperous and opulent city, known at the time as the ‘Baghdad of the West’? You've just found it. It's called Casa da Sé. Next to the Cathedral, a listed monument in the Gothic style from the 15th century and within the city walls, you'll find this housing complex, where the 1st floor (accessed via no. 15) offers a family home with 3 bedrooms and an AL licence and the ground floor (accessed via no. 13) is made up of a shop (craft shop), but will soon be converted back into the home it once was, offering an independent studio (T0). Entering at no. 15 and going up to the elegant semi-covered patio, measuring 64 m2 and elegantly lined with Sta Catarina tiles, you'll find a swimming pool with a design inspired by the Arab tradition, with beautiful Moorish-toned tiles, the musicality of a refreshing waterfall, an orange tree in honour of Silves as the orange capital of the Algarve, a surrounding leisure area, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a BBQ and night lighting. The patio also includes a laundry room and a storage area. In the 126 square metre main room, where we are greeted by a soft brown wooden floor, we find a renovated house, where the precious detail of keeping the original structure of the house in sight, in red stone from the region (Silves sandstone), in tune with the best that the demands of modern comfort can dream up. The kitchen is spacious, fully equipped and has a dining table. The dining/living room is elegantly decorated and has a wood burning stove. There are 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, all themed: ‘Q. das Laranjas’, “Q. da Cortiça” and “Q. das Amendoeiras”, the latter being En-Suite. The materials used and decorative elements clearly bear the signature of an interior architect whose enormous respect for the history, culture and tradition of the place is felt in every detail. Comfort is added by the existence of Haier air conditioning in all the main rooms. In the 47 m2 shop, we will soon find an independent studio (T0), finished with the same degree of refinement and historical respect already recognised in the main house. How many times do we not have a decent solution to offer family or friends who visit us for a few days but have different schedules to us? Here's the solution. There's only one way to be completely dazzled by this true pearl in the heart of Silves: book your visit now. We look forward to seeing you!

Location: Silves, Faro District

Silves is a charming, historic town that was originally the ancient capital of the Algarve. Under the Moors (Year 711 - 1492), Silves was an important defensive stronghold and commercial centre, with ships sailing down the River Arade and across to North Africa. Today, Silves is peaceful, unhurried and the marks of its illustrious past can be seen in all four corners of the city, most notably the imposing red brick castle, the impregnable city walls and the Gothic cathedral, built on the site of a magnificent mosque. For visitors, Silves is a charming town to explore and get to know, and has a distinctly Portuguese atmosphere, with outdoor cafés, cobbled streets and a relaxed pace of life with all the facilities. Alongside its rich history and fascinating attractions, Silves has a scenic location, situated along the banks of the slow-flowing River Arade and within the rolling hills of the Algarve hinterland. Just 20 minutes from the beautiful Algarve coastline with its marvellous beaches, crystal-clear waters and majestic cliffs, as well as the fishing villages of Alvor, Ferragudo and Carvoeiro, the thermal baths of Monchique, Portimão, Lagos (the city of discoveries) and also Sagres, Silves has a lot to offer locals and visitors alike. Faro airport is just 45 minutes away. Lisbon and Seville are approximately the same distance from Silves (2h30).
