About Casa Mourisca l Townhouse with Moorish influences and patios with tropical greenery

In a quiet street in the center of Silves, behind a striking azure blue door, you will find Casa Mourisca: a mansion where you will experience that luxury can also be authentic. Silves has an unhurried charm with picturesque cobbled streets and squares, a castle, market hall and nice restaurants. The sun-drenched beaches and green hills of the Algarve are a 20-minute drive away.

Casa Mourisca was renovated by the passionate owners Miquel and Sara, with the help of Studio Arte architects. This townhouse owes its riad style to the Moorish history of Portugal. Great care has been taken in the details; we love the handmade Portuguese and Arabic tiles & vintage furniture. The interior is a visual feast and there is also plenty of modern comfort. Comfortable hotel style beds, beautifully finished bathrooms, Marshall sound system, luxury kitchen with wine fridge, gas BBQ etc.

The heart of Casa Mourisca is the beautiful courtyard with four different patios, with tropical vegetation and romantically lit in the evening. The seductive cobalt green pool offers a welcome relief to finally finish reading that book on your lounger. You eat together at the long wooden table for up to 10 people, with a pergola and outdoor kitchen. Thanks to the air conditioning, you can stay here comfortably all year round.

Just back from a wonderful holiday in Silves. Casa Mourisca is a beautiful, spacious vacation home in the heart of Silves. We were pleasantly surprised by what appeared behind the blue front door. It was wonderfully spacious for the 6 of us (3 couples). We really enjoyed relaxing on the terraces in both the sun and shade. The pool provided a perfect way to cool off. The contact with the owner was great. Highly recommended for a group of friends!

Behind the blue front door lies a beautifully designed and tastefully decorated house. Very spacious, both inside and outside. A very nice outdoor kitchen with BBQ and large dining table. The plunge pool provided wonderful cooling during our stay. There was really nothing missing from the house. Everything is very well maintained. Very nice and cozy that it is located in the middle of Silves. In the evening you walk out the front door and within a few minutes you are in the cozy center where there are nice restaurants, terraces and shops. The contact in advance with Tom from Potugal Villas was very nice, as was the contact in Portugal with the owner of the house, Miguel. Casa Mourisca is highly recommended!!

Renewal and relaxation

Our first experience with Portugalvillas was especially innovative because we normally stay in hotels during the holidays. Because of the architecture and surroundings of the villa we really imagined ourselves in the idyllic Portuguese life. Everything we needed was available in the villa, which made our stay very comfortable. We went to the beach, the harbor and took a city walk in Silves. We have been in contact with Tom who helped us a lot. Nice that there are such short lines!
