The Algarve / East Algarve region
The Algarve is situated along the Atlantic Ocean and has a temperate climate with Mediterranean characteristics. We have more than 3,000 hours of sunlight and average temperatures ranging from15c in January to 29c in August. Even in winter there is an average of 6 hours of sunshine a day!
Santa Luzia is a traditional Portuguese village with a main street on the Ria Formosa, which is an ever-changing panorama of tides and boats.Behind the water front ,the old town of square houses sits squashed together in it's narrow streets. Santa Luzia is home to many good restaurants,most specialising in seafood and are of a very good standard. one I would highly recommend is 'Canto Azul' a Dutch couple, Leonie and Ghert (the chef) with perfect English and a great view from the terrace over the lagoon. The clean white sandy beaches are safe, gently sloping and can be reached in minutes by ferry boat or water taxi. A 15 -20 minute walk to catch the miniature train to Barril beach near the Pedras del Rei complex is a great adventure for the children.

Tavira is 3 km away so you can easily walk,catch a bus or get a taxi for approx 5 euros.It is an ancient town with a Phoenician,Roman and Moorish part and has a castle,over 35 churches and a superb arch Roman bridge.On both sides of the river 'Gilao' you can find good shopping for fresh produce,pottery,basket ware and handicrafts.

Guestbook for Delightful Apartment nr Tavira
"We had such a great time in Santa Luzia and the apartment was so comfortable and spacious. It was lovely to eat breakfast on the terrace every morning. See you next year!" Jack & Jane.
We were really impressed with this smart and spotlessly clean apartment with great facilities including the underground parking - Andy & Chrissy - September 2009.
Now that we are home, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the apartment. As I told you when we met, we have stayed at many different apartments in the village over the years, but yours is definitely the most comfortable, the cleanest & excellent value for money.
Thanks again, we will be back
Kind regards
Sue Barker
