Home description
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 apartment is brand new 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 seawaters 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.
Balcony overlooking beautiful nature reserve, perfect for al-fresco dining
Rural views to the North from Terrace

The Algarve region
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. Being the last area of Portugal to be conquered by the Portuguese King, traces of the Moorish presence are still seen in its unique architecture - terraces, chimneys and whitewashed houses.
The Argarve is a charming region with an idyllic climate from the hills in the north to the coastline of long sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and grottoes.
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.
Tavira / Santa Luzia area
Our Apartment is situated in a superb location, only 8km from Junction 16 of the A22 motorway and enjoys the beautiful tranquillity of the unspoilt Eastern Algarve in the small fishing village of Santa Luzia near Tavira. The beach Islands of the Ria Formosa are renowned for being peaceful, uncrowded, safe, unpolluted and extend for 12 km. The nearest beach is Barril, which can be seen from the balcony and is just a 10 minute walk away. It has a minature train: a great adventure for children. Santa Luzia beach is also nearby, reached by a short walk (10 minutes) and then a regular ferry boat (5 minute crossing).
There are beach restaurants, café bars and shower facilities. The renting of boats, windsurf boards etc are available. Within 4km Tavira offers a great range of shops and supermarkets (Pingo Doce, Lidle), bars/restaurants abound many specialising in seafood. The beautiful river Gilão runs through the centre of town and on those warm summer nights public entertainment can be found in the park by the river edge.
Local activities include diving, surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing and water skiing. 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).
How to get there
Easyjet, Flybe, Ryanair, Thompsonfly and Flyglobespan all fly to Faro airport from where it is a half-hour taxi ride to the apartment. The taxi from the airport to the apartment will cost around 45 euros.
