In the historic heart of Silves - one of the oldest and most characterful towns in the Algarve - you’ll find Casa Cortiça. Behind its traditional façade lies a surprising world of style, sustainability, and modern comfort. A unique retreat for those seeking privacy, luxury, and an authentic Portuguese setting.

Once a ruin, Casa Cortiça has been thoughtfully transformed into a sustainable design villa with high-end features, led by local architects and interior designers. Refined Mediterranean style meets whitewashed walls, natural materials, and colorful artworks – all in perfect harmony. The loft-style layout is light and open, with high ceilings, original details, and unique paintings by Erik de Bruijn created especially for this home.

The heart of the house is the open-plan living space with a cozy lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen. Cooking here is effortless, with everything from a Quooker to a plate warmer at your fingertips. The four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, offer ultimate comfort. One bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, another a private sauna – ideal for deep relaxation.

The walled garden is a hidden gem: sleek in design and full of Mediterranean character. The private pool sits on the sunny side of the garden, surrounded by loungers, an outdoor shower, and a stylish lounge corner. A long dining table under the parasol and a modern outdoor kitchen make summer evenings unforgettable. From this peaceful base, you can reach some of the Algarve’s most beautiful beaches in no time, from the dramatic coves of Benagil and Marinha to the laid-back charm of Ferragudo with its family-friendly beaches and cozy beach clubs. Casa Cortiça is a place where history, serenity, and style come together beautifully.
