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.
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 and plenty of walks with local 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.
