    I had the most amazing stay at Vivenda Balou in Silves. The hosts Hans and Jaqueline were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The property itself was beautiful, with a stunning pool and peaceful garden where I could relax and unwind. The continental breakfast, with its homemade jams and fresh fruits, was a highlight of my mornings. , the location was perfect - quiet and serene, yet still close to the center of Silves.

    Perfect 10/10 overall experience. Amazing hotel located in a very very nice area right by the centre, Silves and the surrounding area. Quiet and comfortable location, easy walk to everywhere. Nearby Tapas - great place to chill out. Large rooms, overlooking courtyard. Lovely interior design, very comfy beds. Clean pool, parking on site.

    The pool is lovely, the room is impeccably clean with a view of the mountains, and it's close to the surrounding area, the coast, and the beach.

    The rooms at Vivenda Balou were fantastic! Our double room had a private entrance, which made it feel like our own little haven. The tile/marble floors added a touch of elegance, and the electric kettle was a convenient perk. It was lovely waking up to a garden view and the tea/coffee maker was a great way to start the day. The private bathroom with a shower was just what we needed after a long day of exploring. As a guest with children, having our own space was a blessing.

    That the private bathroom with a shower was a bit small. But that's just my personal opinion - others may not mind it at all.

    The room at Vivenda Balou was amazing! It had a private entrance which made me feel like I had my own little slice of paradise. I loved sipping on tea in the seating area, while enjoying the picturesque garden view. The private bathroom with a shower was the cherry on top - it was so convenient!

    Just a personal preference, but I would have liked an option for a bathtub instead of just a shower. But hey, that's just me!

    Everything was spotless. It took us approximately 18 minutes to drive to the airport. - Got the same deluxe king room booked online, liked that. We stayed at Vivenda Balou in Silves for 7 nights and had a wonderful experience. the place was very clean and well-maintained. the location was convenient, as it took us only about 18 minutes to drive to the airport. We had booked a deluxe king room online and were pleased with our choice.

    The room at Vivenda Balou was cozy and inviting, with a private entrance and a beautiful garden view. I loved the convenience of having an electric kettle in the room, perfect for making a cup of tea. The private bathroom with a shower was clean and modern, providing a refreshing and comfortable experience.

    Personally, I would have preferred a marble floor rather than tile, but that's just my subjective preference.

    We had a wonderful stay at Vivenda Balou! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The property is beautiful, with delightful gardens and a lovely pool area. The rooms were superb, with beautiful decoration and amazing views. Breakfast was a highlight, with delicious homemade jams and fruits from their garden. The location is tranquil, yet conveniently placed for exploring the surrounding area. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We had a relaxing stay at this lovely bed & breakfast just outside Silves. the spacious and comfortable bedroom offered a great view of the pool and grounds. the pool area was delightful, complete with a self-service bar and complimentary tea and coffee. the owners were incredibly accommodating and their King Charles spaniel, Balou, was a delight. We enjoyed a spot-on breakfast each morning. We'll definitely be back to Vivenda Balou!

    Nothing, all was good! 😊.

    The hosts were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful pool and garden area. The location was convenient, with shops and restaurants within a short walk. We also appreciated the host's offer to drive us to the coast at a reasonable price.

    One minor inconvenience was that the hosts wanted to know exactly when we would have breakfast, which made planning a bit awkward. although pets were allowed, the host's own dog was a bit temperamental.

    The location of the accommodation was perfect for a relaxing getaway. It offered a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, yet it was still conveniently close to the shops and restaurants in town. the rooms were super-clean and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a long day of exploring. the breakfasts were absolutely outstanding, featuring homemade jams and fresh fruits from their garden. the pool area was outstanding, providing a peaceful spot to soak up the sun.

    One small inconvenience was the lack of a fridge in the room to store drinks, as it was located in an outside building.
