Great village, quiet, friendly. We were there in January and February but given the proximity to the beach, I am sure that the pace will pick up in the summer weather. You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely village but accommodation needs some attention.
Information sent was totally inaccurate. Wifi specified by host and passwords were totally wrong. Requests to host for information about the area prior to arrival were brushed off. Hot water system required that you ran the water fir 5 to 10 minutes before it was hot enough to shower. Posting says underground parking which we were not provided. Indoor pool was not filled up enough to swim in it. Seating was inadequate. The couch was a pull out sofa which was broken and not attached so we could not push it into place We had to bring chairs from the patio in to sit comfortably. Microwave is old and lacking power.

Lovely apartment in beautiful Santa Luzia
We have just spent a month in this lovely apartment. It is equipped with everything you need. We always travel with a set ofmoitchen implementation but didn't need any as we were supplied with everything we could need, even a sandwich maker and a stick blender. We had 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed ensure with an over the bath shower. The second with 2 single beds and an adjacent bathroom with a walk in shower amd two sinks. The wifi in arrival was a slow 8mb but 2 weeks into on stay it was upgraded to 200mb. TV was a large smart one about 43". The outside patio had a bbq but we never used it as the hob and oven were sufficient for our needs. The kitchen also has a microwave, toaster, kettle and a large fridge/freezer. There is a dining area in the apartment which we also used as an office set up. The patio also had a table and 4 chairs as well as two more low beach style chairs. The patio led straight to a communal indoor and outdoor pool. Air conditioning units are in both bedrooms and the main living area and are good and efficient when we needed them. Tha apartment is set a couple of streets back from the waterfront of Santa Luzoa but only a 7 mins walk to loads of restaurant choices. All in all a great stay and recommend highly.

Great Trip!
Santa Luzia is a great little spot and the condo is in a prime location altho rental car a must to get around outside Santa Luzia....10 minute drive to Tavira (Market and Continente) and easy access to A 22. Short drive to Spain (Cadiz) and central to Sagres and VR de Santo Antonio. Park at Municipal Market and leave car there for walking trip into Tavira....Saturday Market in Tavira is a must but remember to be at the market before 9:00 AM Sif you want a parking spot (weekdays is more relaxed). A Barbearia do Jota best haircuts in Tavira. Praiia do Barril is an excellent beach and a nice walk from the condo (5-6KM round trip w/o train). Pro tips for owners: need a fish basket for the BBQ. need more comfortable loungers on the deck (hard plastic Ikea loungers don't cut it) need two cheap camp chairs for the beach (rental beds and shades way too expensive) loved the juicer!

The apartment was extremely clean and well equipped . It is walking distance to everything, quiet and relaxed atmosphere, large private patio, with the ultimate BBQ, I cooked some of my best meals on it. Many restaurants in the area all of them top quality. Will stay there again, if you are planning to go to Portugal this is the place to stay.

Geweldig, Incrível, Awesome.
Het is een prachtig schoon en mooi verblijf, lekker ruim en de bedden sliepen ook perfect. Het binnenbad was ook heerlijk alleen jammer dat het buitenbad niet open was. In het appartement is echt van alles aanwezig. Heerlijke rustige buurt, en leuke restaurantjes waar je lekker kunt eten, we hebben gelijk weer geboekt. Groeten Ronald en Mayjoke vanuit Holland. É uma estadia lindamente limpa e bonita, agradável e espaçosa e as camas também dormiam perfeitamente. A piscina coberta também era adorável, só uma pena que a piscina externa não estava aberta. Tudo está realmente presente no apartamento. Adorável bairro tranquilo e bons restaurantes onde você pode comer bem, imediatamente reservamos novamente. Saudações Ronald e Mayjoke da Holanda. It is a beautifully clean and beautiful stay, nice and spacious and the beds also slept perfectly. The indoor pool was also lovely, just a pity that the outdoor pool was not open. Everything is really present in the apartment. Lovely quiet neighborhood, and nice restaurants where you can eat well, we immediately booked again. Greetings Ronald and Mayjoke from Holland.

Une location parfaite
Les Plus : L'appartement est particulièrement bien agencé, bien équipé. Ce fut très agréable d'y séjourner. De plus, nous n'avons pas eu besoin de louer de voiture car Ermelinda nous a adressé à Jorge qui nous a littéralement servi de "chauffeur"pour pratiquement tous nos déplacements sur place. Jorge à, pour nous, été le digne représentant de la très grande gentillesse et de la générosité des habitants de la région et nous a fait connaître des plages et sites incroyables. Encore Merci Jorge 🙏. Santa Luiza, quand à elle, est un tranquille village de pêcheurs qui a l'avantage d'être toute proche de notre plage préférée de ce séjour " Terra Estrella"... Bref, nos vacances en Algarve cet été furent idylliques. Les moins : la communication avant notre arrivée. Nous n'avons finalement eu les coordonnées de la location ainsi que les modalités d'arrivée que 48h avant notre arrivée. Nos messages restant sans réponse, nous avions même cru à un moment avoir affaire à une arnaque et avions contacté Abritel !!? 😂. Dernier petit point négatif, les horaires de départ. Merci de bien vouloir les harmoniser sur tous les documents qui nous sont communiqués. Sur l'un, il est indiqué 12h, l'autre, 11h30 et enfin un dernier à 10h ? Malgré ces petits défauts, cette location reste une très belle expérience car elle est vraiment agréable à y séjourner, spacieuse, propre, et encore une fois, exceptionnellement bien équipée. Merci.

Casa bem equipada e com áreas ideais para umas férias em família. A sua localização, em condomínio, é suficientemente perto, mas afastada para não ter confusão no que se refere à utilização da piscina. Apenas seria agradável ter disponível alguns detergentes para utilizar em estadias mais curtas e breves.

We had an amazing stay/ 2ad+3ch
Great location, Santa Luzia is a piscatory village and still a bit inexplored unlike others locations in Algarve. The outside pool it's heated and it was perfect for our 2 years, 12 and 15 years old. The house was perfectly clean and had all to make our Stay very confortable. It has One hairdryer for each bathroom, dishwasher, washing machine and many more aplliances. Our 15 years old hurt himself on his feet and i had to use the SOS box and i could desinfect and treat his cut. Vincent e D. Ermelinda were very friendly and very responsive. Thanks for an amazing stay.
