Property for sale in Silves

Living in Silves

Silves is an inland town set amid the rolling hills of the Algarve countryside, lining the banks of the Rio Arade. It was the Moorish capital of the region, and its red sandstone castle still dominates the skyline.

The coast is within a twenty-minute drive, which is the point: you get countryside prices, space and quiet, with the beach close enough to be a habit rather than an expedition.

Property here is quintas, farmhouses, building plots and a growing number of golf-resort villas on the courses to the west of town.
