Home description
Your holiday apartment has a spacious non-overlooked terrace with stunning romantic sea views and is superbly positioned by the waters edge of the Ria Formosa in the unspoilt fishing village of Santa Luzia, 4km west of Tavira. A perfect location for beach lovers or take long leisurely walks to discover the marvellous world of fauna and flora that lives in this part of the Eastern Algarve coast, a bird watchers paradise. Conveniently adjacent to the new promenade with all amenities including fresh seafood restaurants, small snack bars, grocery stores, pharmacy, bank and small shops.
The white sandy beaches are safe, gently sloping and can be reached by ferry boat (25 Mts), which you can see sitting from your terrace or a short walk to catch the miniature railway to Barril beach near Pedras del Rei complex which has a swimming pool.

The Algarve / East Algarve region
The climate is mild and mellow and so is the character of the land and its people. Spring, with its profusion of wildflowers, comes very early. Summers are long; winters are short.
The air is free of pollution and light breezes prevent even the hottest midsummer days from becoming oppressive. The Algarvian lifestyle is easy-going, unconcerned for time. The Algarve's healthy climate, pure air are nicely complemented by wholesome, locally-caught and home-grown food.
In particular, there is a wonderfully wide range of seafood, including all sorts of clams, prawns and lobster, and delicious fresh fish such as swordfish, tuna, sea bass and sea bream. Eating out in the restaurants of Santa Luzia is all the more delightful because Portuguese wines are so good and so reasonably priced.
Tavira / Santa Luzia area
The apartment is only 8 Km's from Junction 16 of the A22 motorway, 4 Km’s west of the lovely old town of Tavira which is breached by the Gilao River. Painted boats, palm trees and benches line the promenade along its banks. Four hundred year-old houses peer at their reflections in its waters. The ancient bridge provides a good place to take all this in.
This is an ideal base to explore the Eastern Algarve. The fishing village is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve Park, a large system of tidal lagoons. Santa Luzia has beautiful terraces where you can enjoy a meal and a drink or two with the locals and watch the world go by, it's Bars and Restaurants serve excellent and reasonably priced food (It is less expensive than to the west of Faro).
There are also has some of the Golf best courses and facilities in the World. To the West, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo courses are within 30 mins of the Apartment and Vilamoura a further 15 mins further on. Benamor, Quinta de Cima and the Quinta de Ria are within 10 minutes and Castro Marim a further 15 minutes.
The new watershoot park in Loule is only 35 Minutes away and is great fun! Or swim with the dolphins at Zoomarine within 40 minutes. 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 mins (the Spanish border) town has a similar market every Saturday.
