Gato Preto de Silves B&B in Algarve

Staff was very friendly, the room was well equipped and maintained. Breakfast was served on our balcony (due to Covid), always on time and with good quality products.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The Gato Preto de Silves is a bit of heaven tucked away in the countryside of Silves. Mateus & Gloria have created an oasis with their gardens, the cozy accommodation meld within the landscape and the wonderful care taken to make us comfortable. The abundant “Friday night gastronomic meal” was astounding. Lovely flavors beautifully presented. We packed a picnic for it for the next day and hiked into the hills behind the property. It it a place of peace, contentment and proper relaxation!

Chilling in nature. Wonderful place to stay, the bungalows are very well decorated, the bathroom is lovely and they have an outside kitchen which could allow you to express all your creativity while cooking. The hosts are very nice and welcoming, breakfast is good. A perfect place to relax in Algarve countryside. We highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Gato Preto. The room was clean and spacious with a great shower. The garden is done beautifully, the owners were lovely and the breakfast was delicious!

A very comfortable place to feel at home … This is not just your average B&B started by amateur people in a midlife crisis…. The young and clever owners are Mateus and Gloria. In a few years they have built here a very smart place. The whole setup is nicely balanced. It’s built on several levels with the accommodations surrounded by well-kept gardens and a wide view of the countryside. All this gives the place a spacious, peaceful feeling with lots of privacy. I stayed 12 nights in the Garden Studio. This was much, much better than the impression I got by the pictures on the website. The bedroom is spacious with a comfortable bed and very quiet (!) air conditioner. The bathroom is luxurious. The kitchenette is well equipped. A very big plus: everything is clean. And last but not least, the huge patio. It’s a shaded place with full privacy to relax and be lazy. And only a few steps away from the nice swimming pool. It is clear that Mateus and Gloria have given very thorough thought about the service they give. Their approach of guests is a well-balanced mix: professional, social, informal, welcoming, unpretentious and respectful. They gave me the feeling of being welcome. The copious breakfast was always tasty with good, real Italian cappuccinos. The weekly dinner turned out to be a surprising gourmet adventure with local and sustainable ingredients. Final plus: only adults. This means: no children, so more peace.
