Private apartment in prime location with beautiful sea views
We hold an official Portuguese tourist license 6431/AL. Covid-19 Contingency plan in place to inform guests what measures we have taken to help keep you safe including enhanced cleaning. The apartment is situated at the Western edge of the unspoilt fishing village of Santa Luzia and a short drive to the historical and beautiful town of Tavira. This prime location is peaceful and very close to one of the best beaches on the Eastern Algarve. From the apartment it is a short walk to the village centre with its wonderful seafood restaurants that line the waters edge. The first floor apartment was built in 2006 and has a contemporary feel. The kitchen and lounge have floor to ceiling windows and shutters that run across the entire front of the apartment. These open directly on to a good sized private balcony, with uninterrupted views of the countryside and sea waters of the Ria Formosa, a nature reserve that is a haven for wildlife. In the evening you can watch the most glorious sunsets over the mountains. The apartment is only 8km from Junction 16 of the A22 motorway, 35km from Faro and within 10km of excellent golf courses.
Local amenities: The water shoot park in Loule is only 35min away and is great fun, You can also Swim with the Dolphins at Zoomarine! We have a number of excellent markets nearby (a detailed list will be in the apartment) where you can pick up some real bargains. There is an interesting car-boot near the beach of Fuzeta where you will find some unusual items. Ayamonte, 20 min (the Spanish border) town has a similar market every Saturday. Tourist resort towns with entertainment, bars, restaurants and casinos only a 10 - 40 minute drive away (depending which town you would like to visit). Finally, for those of you who do not want to just stay on the beach and want to see more of the original Algarve then a circular drive through Moncarapacho, Estói, Olhão and Tavira is well worth doing, with the A22 link this makes a good half day visit.
Golf: Not only has the Algarve the best golfing climate in Europe it also has some of the best courses and facilities. To the West, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo courses are within 30 min of the Apartment and Vilamoura a further 15 min further on. Benamor, Quinta de Cima and the Quinta de Ria are within 10 minutes and Castro Marim a further 15 minutes.
We have adult bicycles and one child's bike available for use free of charge. Guests are required to mend any punctures or any minor repairs needed as a result of using them.

Ideal location for us and it had everything we needed. Several restaurants in easy walking distance even in mid-Winter. Sunshine almost everyday and beautiful views of the sunset.
We had a great time in Santa Luzia. The apartment was great with a stunning view and Sally was a very kind and helpful host. The bikes were a great plus and my children loved riding along the Ria.
Property was clean and well-equipped, beyond coffee maker and toaster, there was olive oil, spices and ice cubes upon our arrival. Walking distance to several great restaurants and grocers, and a short drive from market in Tavira.We loved watching the sheep from our balcony, and checking the night sky after sunset.
The apartment was perfect for us . It contained everything you could need - a real home from home .
Sally could not have been more helpful and answered all queries very promptly. Ww would definitely recommend it .
cosy, comfortable well appointed apartment close to all restaurants and ammenites.
We found Sally to be most helpful and kind, nothing was to much bother for her.We spent a lot of time on the terrace watching the bird life. It was an easy and pleasant walk to praie del rey where we caught the little train to the beach .
The food in Santa Luzia was amongst the best we have tasted . Casa do polvo tasquna and A casa on the riverside being the best.
Many thanks for all your help Sally! We had a wonderful time.

Thank you we always enjoy having so many returning guests each year. David you are always a pleasure to have stay in our apartment. I hope you enjoyed the bikes. We have had some work done again on them by another lovely returning guest this month.
What an amazing way to spend two weeks in this lovely little sanctuary. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to a beautiful field filled with birds and rabbits alongside a pretty river and the ocean in the distance. We loved watching people and their dogs walk by all times of the day and would often chat with them. The apartment is equipped perfectly with everything we need to relax and make a meal. We ate most of our meals outside on the balcony! Having a washing machine was so great! It was a treat to have a dishwasher too. It was fun to try some restaurants right in Santa Luzia as well as biking and walking into Tavira for restaurants as well. Having the bikes was fabulous and helpful. We made it all of the way to Cabanas one day. We enjoyed our morning walks to Barril beach to have coffee at the café that just opened for the season.
After a busy day of exploring it was always nice to come home to this little cozy apartment and watch the sunset while sipping wine on the balcony.
Denne lejlighed har en helt fantastisk udsigt over eng og vand fra den meget rummelige balkon. Udlejeren Sally var meget opmærksom og serviceorienteret. Køkkenet var ekstremt veludstyret. Der er alt - og lidt mere end det - hvad du har brug for. Som et ekstra plus var der mulighed for at låne udlejers cykler, der var i rigtig god stand.
Nahezu idealer Standort für einen längeren Aufenthalt
Sehr geräumiges, gut ausgestattetes Appartement in toller Lage am Rand von Santa Luzia. Kurze Wege zum Meer sowie zu Cafes und Restaurants. Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin schnell und freundlich.

About the host
Hosted by Sally Gould
I am a working mother with 3 small children so life is very busy. I aim to get back to enquiries as soon as I can but often deal with booking and administration details in the evening when the children have gone to bed. I live in London with my family and work as a special needs teacher in a local FE College. We have been visiting the Eastern Algarve for many years and love the peace and quiet of the local area. The village is very relaxing and we completely unwind when we are there.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property as we know the village well and loved the location.It is at the quieter end of the village and when we sit on the balcony looking out at the beautiful views we feel like we haven't got a care in the world. We love the architectural style of the building and have furnished it in a way that is in keeping with it's modernist style, with contemporary furniture but paying attention to comfort and a home from home feel. We have an official Tourism licence which is a legal requirement in Portugal.
What makes this property unique
We feel in love with the views from the lounge, the large spacious balcony and the lovely interior with floor to ceiling windows that open directly onto the balcony looking over the Ria. We feel it is a very special place where the surrounding countryside, and waters of the Ria are incredibly peaceful, calming and beautiful. In springtime we can sit on the balcony and breath in the heavenly scents from the Ria Formosa below. All year around hear the many birds singing and the sound of the bells on the sheep when they come to graze in the morning.
