Your ideal, affordable place in the sun! St-Luzia apt. with sea-view.
Casita Das Andainas as been given a official licence from Tavira for tourisme rental. It is on the 2nd floor with the terrace on the 3th. Floor facing south with BBQ, 2 long chairs, table, four chairs, sink and a fridge for cold drinks. You will want to enjoy the evenings with a nice glass of wine watching the sunset and observe the fisherman coming back from the sea with their fresh catch or watch the locals play the very popular game of petanque on the square a small distance away. The apt is divided into 1 sleeping room, furnished with a comfortable double bed and 1 bathroom with bath and bidet. The living room-kitchen is at the other end of the corridor with bay-windows overlooking the quiet street Das Andainas with her palms and other mature trees on a well kept lawn. The kitchen is well equipped for easy meals or for elaborate dinners. The owner put a special touch on the lighting to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Casita Das Andainas is also equipped with flat-screen tv dvd/cd, books and games. And if you feel lazy you can always grab a bite across the street.

Bel appartement,bien équipé,confortable.Quartier sécuritaire,tranquille,idéal pour de longues marches dans les salines,champs et bord de mer.beaucoup de restaurants et café.Domage que la terrasse ne soit pas meublé pendant l'hiver a cause des risque de pluie et tempête.
Apartamento com todas as comodidades necessárias, muito bem localizado, a uns passinhos do barco para a praia da Terra Estreita! Vista do terraço maravilhosa! Proprietária muito simpática e atenciosa!
We recommend the apartment and the village, a very pleasant atmosphere. The communication with the host was always right and quick, and the place has everything you need for a memorable vacation.
We recently stayed at Michelle's apartment in Santa Luzia and had a nice experience. The apartment was very clean, conveniently close to the town center, and the perfect size for a couple with a baby. We were especially grateful for the crib and high chair that the host provided for our baby.
On the downside, we felt that there was a bit too much furniture and decorative items for a holiday home, but this is a personal preference. Additionally, a dishwasher would be a valuable addition to the apartment.
Unfortunately, due to external factors (renovation work), we could only use the terrace with barbecue towards the end of our stay. However, the host kindly compensated us for the inconvenience.

Enjoyed the quaint village of Santa Luzia…Michelle the owner was great to deal with and responded quickly to any queries we had. The location in the eastern part of the Algarve gave us opportunity to explore the areas that are removed from the very touristy parts of the Algarve…Loved the immense beaches!
Loved the location, just 3.5 km from Tavira centre, on the top floor of a three story condo building, in the quiet fishing village of Santa Luzia. There is only one tourist shop with hand made ceramic seaside themed ornaments but Tavira is close by and has lots of shops. AND, in Santa Luzia there must be 30 places to either eat or drink and four of them are within 100 m of the front door.
Our suite was as advertised and our hostess, Michelle, went out of her way to pick us up in Tavira on our check-in day. The suite was well equipped and included basic condiments and toilet paper and paper towels. It was great to have internet and satelite TV. We found the bed very comfortable. Michelle made sure we knew how to operate the various appliances and, if we needed them, manuals were kept handy. We enjoyed the roof top terrace and the view of the water.
A little updating of the drapery and table linens wouldn't hurt but the suite was clean and we had no complaints.
As with everywhere in Portugal there is a resident in the building with a dog that barked a lot but there's nothing Michelle can do about that. After a while we got used to it.
Overall, a very good experience.
sehr schön, gemütliche und liebevoll eingerichtete Ferienwohnung.. kann ich guten Gewissens empfehlen. :)

Enjoyable stay
Apartment is quite basic but comfortable. Good kitchen facilities and bed was good. Shower was good but we found stepping into the bath a bit of a pain.
Living area quite dark due to the trees outside but thankfully with the wonderful weather and roof terrace we weren't inside much.
Dog on the ground floor a pain and even though the owner assured us it would not bite we weren't convinced.
overall we had a lovely month and enjoyed the local food.

Correu tudo bem
Correu tudo bem . A Michelle é uma pessoa muito acessivel. 5 ESTRELAS
O apartamento é muito giro, tal e como se descreve nas informações e fotos, calmo e fresco. A comunicação com a Michelle realmente ótima, sempre atenta e pronta para resolver quaisquer pormenor. Adoramos e recomendamos para quem procura um lugar calmo e relaxante à beira do mar.
Foram umas excelentes férias, encontrámos na casa todas as comodidades necessárias à nossa estadia. Bom acolhimento da proprietária e localização num bairro tranquilo, perto de várias lojas, nomeadamente supermercado e peixaria, assim como de bons restaurantes. O cais para a Praia da Terra Estreita está a 5 minutos de caminhada. Voltaríamos, sem qualquer dúvida.
Le logement était très propre et Michelle, la propriétaire, très arrangeante.
Bonne literie et appartement fonctionnel.
Seul bémol : beaucoup de bruit dans le quartier et logement très mal insonorisé.

Foto
A foto do anuncio não condiz com a realidade do alojamento, o terraço e fora da casa fica no terraço do prédio e dividido por outras pessoas sem qualquer tipo de privacidade e esta completamente abandonado sem qualquer condição de se passar lá um serão agradável, o que esta na foto e uma simples miragem
EMPLACEMENT IDEALEMENT PLACE POUR RAYONNER DANS L'EST DE L'ALGARVE. APPARTEMENT TRES PROPRE, OU IL NE MANQUE RIEN. ACCUEIL CHALEUREUX DE LA PROPRIETAIRE.
Property slightly disappointing. Description not overly accurate. Previous occupants items left behind. Santa Luzia itself is wonderful. Extremely relaxing.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle (owner)
Michelle and Willem been married for 31 years.She is from Canada, Montreal. Speaks French, English, Dutch and Portuguese. Her husband is from Holland has a captain´s licence and speaks Dutch, English, German, Arabic,, French, Hivrit and Portuguese. They have been living in Portugal for the last 16 years with their daughter Suzanne. Casita das Andainas is their second apt here in the Algarve for holiday rental. With their experience they aim to answer all your expectations and wishes.
Why they chose this property
Years ago we discovered Santa-Luzia and found it to be an authentic, friendly small fishing village. Walking along the boulevard on the river bank we feel that time slows down here to a peaceful rhythm. It´s easy to enjoy simple things like a nice coffee in the morning on one of the plenty sunny terraces watching the fisherman going out to sea. Or sipping a nice wine on a peaceful evening while the aquatic birds fly once more over the lagoon to find their resting ground for the night. This particular region of the east Algarve is known as the Polvo coast, the coast of the octopus, for most of the octopus caught in the Algarve comes from Santa-Lucia.The restaurants along the boulevard all have their own recipes for delicious octopus dishes. The overall genuine atmosphere of the place made us decide to buy an apartment for tourist rental and,eventually, our own old age.
What makes this property unique
The main features of this apt is the lovely well maintained street with it's mature trees and the proximity of the RiaFormosa Nature Reserve with the Ilha Estreita beach.The apt. itself has a comfortable feeling to it because of the quality of the wood finish and glazed doors. The terrace with its breath-taking sea-view has the perfect size for sun bathing, family barbecue or just lazy days. Its a quiet street even in the high season, you are just far enough to be away from it all and close enough to join in, a small walk away.
