Light Residences – New Apartments in Silves, Algarve
An exclusive collection of nine apartments in the historic centre of Silves
Light Residences is an exclusive collection of nine apartments in a rehabilitated pre-1951 building in the historic centre of Silves, offering T1 to T3 turnkey homes minutes from the castle, the Arade river and the Algarve’s western beaches.
1 Bed Apartment
The single one-bedroom residence sits on the ground floor, entered through its own hall and paired with a private garage — a rare feature for an old-town apartment. Inside, an open-plan kitchen and living room lead to a dedicated laundry/storage room, with a well-proportioned bedroom and bathroom finished in rectified porcelain tiling throughout. Compact and self-contained, it suits a couple, a single owner, or an investor looking for a turnkey lock-up-and-leave home in the centre of Silves.
2 Bed Apartments
Each of the two-bedroom apartments offer bright, open-plan living and kitchen spaces, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, finished with rectified porcelain floors, full-height sliding glazing and fitted Bosch kitchens throughout. First-floor apartments open onto private balconies, second-floor apartments step out onto rooftop terraces facing the serra and the castle, and the ground-floor T2 comes with its own private garage. Built-in wardrobes and thoughtful natural light complete a low-maintenance home suited to year-round Algarve living.
3 Bed Apartments
Spacious and sophisticated, the three-bedroom apartments occupy the upper floors and offer generous living areas, private terraces and, on the second floor, planted rooftop terraces facing the serra and the castle. Contemporary Bosch-fitted kitchens, refined bathroom fittings by GROHE, and abundant natural light bring together comfort and character for families or those who entertain.
ENQUIRE
Exceptional Design, Lasting Value
Discover a rare combination of historic character, contemporary architecture and turnkey Algarve investment, delivered to a high specification throughout.
A Rare Algarve Investment Opportunity
With its old-town location, limited collection of just nine residences, careful rehabilitation of a pre-1951 building, and turnkey specification, Light Residences represents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive property in one of the Algarve’s most authentic settings.
Energy-Efficient Living
Solar Panels
Rooftop solar panels, discreetly sited behind the second-floor terraces, out of view from the street.
Thermally Broken Glazing
Double-glazed aluminium window and door frames reduce heat loss and improve year-round comfort.
Natural Light
Full-height sliding glazing draws daylight deep into the living spaces, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
Premium Construction
A careful rehabilitation of the existing structure, combined with quality new-build materials for durability and performance.
Solar Shading
Sliding aluminium shutters with a wood-effect finish control heat gain and light throughout the day.
Private Parking
Twelve private, shaded parking spaces to the rear of the building, reached under the entrance.
Prime Algarve Location in the Heart of Silves
Light Residences enjoys a privileged position in Silves, the historic old capital of the Algarve, below the castle walls on Rua Dr. João de Meneses. Residents step out onto a working town with a market, a cathedral and a Roman bridge — not a resort — while still being within easy reach of the coast. The beaches of Armação de Pêra and Carvoeiro are around twenty minutes away, Faro International Airport is under an hour, and the wider Algarve’s golf courses, marinas, restaurants and international schools are all within comfortable driving distance.
