About Casa Joana l Urban beachlife & Design

The city villa is located in a quiet street in Silves and has exceptional architecture, designed by the renowned architectural firm Studio Arte. The modest facade gives away nothing of its unique character until you open the front door. The villa is light, open, spacious and sleek with an eye for detail and design. The carefully composed interior provides warmth and homeliness.

The city villa offers space for 6 people and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with shower and toilet. There is a bedroom with bathroom on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms with bathroom on the first floor. The open kitchen with an American fridge is equipped with every comfort. There is a spacious seating area with TV to enjoy your favorite programs and music. The city villa also has fast and powerful WiFi. After a trip you can cool off in the plunge pool on the first terrace.



Casa Joana, named after the talented architect, is located in the picturesque historic village of Silves in the sun-drenched Algarve, Portugal. Silves offers a nice mix between culture, pleasant city life and the ultimate tranquility of a village. Its location makes it the ideal base to further explore the Algarve. After a trip you come home to Casa Joana, a beautiful city villa where elegance, comfort and design meet.

Originally, Casa Joana was a ruin, previously used as a stable. Joana Dalmau Pinto, architect at StudioArte, has transformed the house into an architectural gem, with an eye for detail, privacy, light and openness. The house immediately makes you forget that you are in the center of a city. The beds sleep wonderfully, the bathrooms are small but comfortable and the three terraces are great. During breakfast on the rear terrace you will be treated to a free bird concert! Thanks to the air conditioning and the wood-burning stove, you can enjoy your stay in Casa Joana throughout all seasons.

Silves is centrally located and an ideal base for excursions and discovering the rest of the Algarve. The area also has many golf courses for golf enthusiasts. It is also a great place to be for the surfers among us. Several beaches 15 minutes drive from the house.

The perfect mix of culture - urban life & design :)

Beautiful

Beautiful space in the middle of Silves - airy, modern, light and very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the little pool. Host was responsive and helpful. The street parking is quite narrow but you can park nearby in a car park for free if you have a bigger car. Silves is a very pleasant town.

Fantastisch huis!

Het huis was fantastisch. Het overtrof onze verwachtingen omdat het dakterras nu is voorzien van een buitenbar met overkapping, een buitendouche en lounchebanken. Zeer centrale ligging met de Lidl om de hoek. Fijne open ruimtes en mooie kunst aan de muur. Allerhartelijkst ontvangen door de lokale host Natalia. Mediëval Fair in Silves maakte het verblijf compleet. Goede lokatie om de Algarve te verkennen.

I’ve stayed at several rental properties in Silves, and this is by far the most beautiful, modern, and relaxing. The inside is clean, airy, and open, and the outdoor spaces are magical (I especially loved stargazing on the roof deck at night, and taking a dip in the small cocktail pool). Highly recommend!

Nous avons passé un super séjour à Silves dans la maison de Johan. La maison est incroyable!! L'architecture, l'ameublement, les peintures aux murs, la vaisselle... C'est du haut de gamme! C'est très difficile...d'en partir! La ville de Silves est agréable avec commerces et restaurants à proximité de la maison. Silves est bien situé pour visiter l'Algarve. Nous recommandons vivement cette location.

Loved our stay here

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is immaculate. Stylish and comfortable. We have two young kids and they loved the space. The location couldn’t be better - restaurants, local market and Lidl all around the corner. Natalia, our host, was lovely. Really helpful and gave plenty of tips on the area. We couldn’t fault anything.

The stay was perfect.

Tom was helpful and answered all our questions very quickly. The house is very modern, it was a pleasure to stay their. All was well organised, the house has everything you need during your stay. there is a big parking very close to the house but in any case we always found a place on the street next to the door. Also, a shop is next door, very convenient too. Overall, the stay was perfect.

A modern hideaway dream

A modern hideaway dream nestled in between remarkable homes from a time past. We felt like we lived in this special little local neighborhood where music and narrow alleys hiding gardens and restaurants intermingled. A special little dream of a spot. The pictures represent the special nature of this home exactly. Truly humbled that we can stay under these imaginitive circumstances while visiting such a cool little slice of Portugal. Hosts were knowledgeable, helpful and prompt.

This villa exceeded all our expectations!

Through Tom from Portugal Villas we booked the city villa Casa Joana in Silves. This villa exceeded all our expectations! The contact with Tom went smoothly, full information provided in advance and very helpful in helping us to look at the possibilities to check in earlier if that would be possible (early flight and arrival with two small children). Casa Joana is a hit, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a tastefully furnished villa that exudes tranquility with terraces around the corner and a large supermarket.

The house is great

Just returned from a truly wonderful holiday in beautiful Portugal. We were allowed to stay 15 days in Stadsvilla Joana l Urban beachlife & Design and what an amazing experience that was! From the moment we stepped in we felt fantastic here. The house is great, the location is great and all the comforts that the house offers are more than extensive! Nothing but praise, we will definitely be back!

Everything was right

We stayed at Casa Joana for 10 days in November. And wow what a beautiful accommodation. Everything was right. The reception and tour by a very friendly lady made us feel very welcome. Every day was a pleasure to stay here. The fresh open spaces, colorful art and extensive inventory have ensured that we had a wonderful holiday. Next time on holiday with portugalvillas!

Hard to put into words how awesome this house is

Bom dia Tom, you did your very best this year to give us another fantastic holiday. Your patience is enormous! Thanks again! The first week we stayed at Casa Joana in Silves.It's hard to put into words how awesome this house is. This house bears the name of the architect particularly well! In one of the narrow streets in the center of Silves, Casa Joana is hidden behind the existing original outer wall. You don't expect it, when you open the front door, you don't know where to look!We were so impressed, truly an architectural gem. Everything is correct and is very spacious, the glass sliding wall on both sides of the house can be completely opened for an even wider effect and become 1 whole outside and inside. There are outdoor areas on both sides of the house.

Casa Joana is highly recommended, especially if you like peace and privacy like us, but still want to stay in the center of Silves. The restaurants and supermarket are around the corner and within walking distance. Almost forgot, the roof terrace is really fantastic to start the day with a cup of coffee and a book in the lovely lounge set, the sun rises and meanwhile the storks fly over your head :-) To cool off there is a plunge pool in the garden, surrounded with the most beautiful plants. In short, a very exclusive & luxurious house where you will not miss anything and actually do not want to leave! Saudades de casa.

Silves was once the capital of the Moorish province of Algarve and was known as "Xelb" during that time.

Within Silves itself, there are plenty of supermarkets and local shops to meet all your needs. In addition to supermarkets, Silves also offers various restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy delicious Portuguese cuisine.

For fascinating Moorish history, you can visit the medieval castle within the center of Silves. Silves Castle is one of the best-preserved castles in the Algarve and has a rich history dating back to the 8th century.
