Home description
A thoughtfully renovated old farmhouse, nestling in a small friendly village set in low rolling hills of olive and orange groves.
Casa da Coruja is a romantic hideaway with modern day comforts, spacious with lovely furnishings.
It is tucked away in the beautiful countryside surrounding the old castle town of Silves, seeped in history, and within easy reach of beaches and golf courses. An ideal base for exploring the Algarve and enjoying hot summer evenings on the comfortable terrace.

The Algarve region
Situated just ten minutes drive from Silves,with its spectacular 8th century Moorish castle. this pretty town has been occupied for centuries. Iron Age relics have been found in and around Silves which pay testament to the town’s long history.
Plenty of good restaurants and cafes are located in Silves with friendly locals, supermarkets and a large variety of shops.
The area is centrally located and ideal for visiting the nearby cities of Portimao and Lagos, also the mountain town of Monchique and the lovely seaside villages to the west.
Silves area
The cottage is situated about 15 kms from the beautiful beaches of the Algarve and very close to the large reservoir 'Barragem do Arade' for fishing and walking.
Casa da Coruja is situated in a sleepy village of just a few houses with several great local restaurants within 2 miles.
There are numerous golf courses around, several within about 20 minutes drive. Please ask us for details as we are keen golfers! Horse-riding is close by, plenty of walks abundant with wildlife.
It is aptly named Owl Cottage, keep a look out for the 'Little Owl'. He will probably be watching you on the approach to the cottage from one of the old olive trees.
