Nestled in one of the oldest towns in the Algarve, among the rooftops and winding roads, you’ll find this quirky townhouse. With 360 panoramic views over Silves and beyond, this home offers front row seats to the Mediterranean sunrise. This home merges the old and new effortlessly, blending contemporary design with a historic backdrop for a truly unique travel experience. Step out of the patio doors and into the plunge pool for a refreshing dip before heading off for a day in the Old Town. When you’re not out exploring the narrow streets and local landmarks, there’s plenty to see at home thanks to a roof terrace that houses an outdoor kitchen, sofa and even a shower if you’re in need of some relief from the Portuguese sun. The ideal date-night spot, have a go at cooking some local dishes together before retiring to the sun lounger to stargaze with a glass of wine.
