About this property

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 3 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. Baby's cot or highchair available on request.

Santa Luzia Apartment April 2023
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.

Lovely quiet apartment at the edge of the village
My wife and myself had a lovely week in this apartment which is situated on the edge of a small village called Santa Luzia. The apartment was immaculate and had everything needed for a self catering holiday. We had no one in any of the surrounding apartments during our stay and so it was particularly quiet and peaceful. The locality is more of a Portugese lifestyle and so if you want to eat out every night do not expect lots of different styles of cuisine on your doorstep. These can however be found in the nearby city of Tavira. The nearby Barril beach is beautiful if beaches are your thing. We would definately stay here again in the future. Thank you for a lovely week in your apartment Sally.

Fabulous
We had a brilliant holiday in Sally’s apartment. The location is perfect - very close to the restaurants and shops of Santa Luzia and very convenient for catching the ferry to the beach. The spotlessly clean apartment has everything you could want in terms of equipment and facilities, while the view from the balcony is just wonderful. We spent quite a long time there every evening listening to the birds. Sally is an excellent host: communication was easy and extremely helpful. We hope to go back next year!

Ruhige Randlage in Santa Luzia.
Um es kurz zu fassen, wir waren sehr zufrieden. Die Wohnung ist im ersten Stock einer Anlage mit mehreren Ferienwohnungen. Durch die Randlage schaut man aus dem Wohnzimmer, die ganze Westwand ist verglast, direkt in die Natur. Der große Balkon ist von der Küche und vom Wohnzimmer begehbar. Die Ausstattung hat keine Wünsche offen gelassen und entsprach der Beschreibung. TV und Musikanlage, sowie Fahrräder haben wir nicht genutzt, aber alles anderen, was wir gebraucht haben, ob Internet, Klimaanlage, Herd, Wasserkocher, Spülmaschine bis Waschmaschine hat funktioniert. Bei einigen Fragen, z.B. zur Bedienung der Klimaanlage, war Sally per WhatApp sehr schnell erreichbar und hat uns geholfen. Der ehemalige Fischerort Santa Luzia ist angenehm ruhig und wenig touristisch, auch wenn es hier natürlich auch einige Restaurants gibt, wo man gut essen kann. Möchte man als Selbstversorger günstig einkaufen, kann man es in ca. 3,5 km Entfernung beim Lidl in Tavira tun. Die wahre Wucht sind hier die kilometerlangen, sauberen Strände auf der vorgelagerten Insel. Diese kann man in ca. 10 - 15 Min. mit einem Boot erreichen (Praia da Terra Estreita) oder zu Fuß über eine Brücke und Schmalspurbahn Pedras d´El Rei zur Praia do Barill. Zu Fuß haben wir von der Wohnung ca. 38 Min. gebraucht. Hier findet man einige Restaurants und Souvenirladen. Einige Hunter meter rechts fängt die Praia Naturista an. Wer noch weiter geht, ist plötzlich "ganz alleine auf der Welt". Zumindest zu der Zeit, als wir dort waren, Ende Mai 2022. Es war einfach herrlich.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Gould

Host profile image
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.
