An Eco-friendly and sustainable renovation of an old cork factory, transformed into a luxury living space, set in the medieval town of Silves.

We’ve carefully preserved the villa’s authentic and peaceful character while updating it with modern comforts.

The garden has been transformed into a green oasis, offering a cool and tranquil escape. Under the enormous open roof structure, the lounge and living area with open kitchen and dining area suits 8 guests on the large dining table. Three large doors create an open feeling with the garden.

Upstairs, two bedrooms offer an added touch of wellness: one includes a Finnish sauna with a traditional stone-heated stove, while the other features a freestanding bathtub for ultimate relaxation.

A calm and restful atmosphere awaits, perfect for slow mornings and peaceful southern nights.

The house was designed under the architectural guidance of Arnold Aarssen from StudioArte, with interiors thoughtfully created by his Concepto Studio.

A refined blend of minimalist Mediterranean aesthetics and natural textures defines the atmosphere throughout Casa Cortiça.
