Accessibility
Although the apartment is on the ground floor there are four steps up to the apartment door, which would make access for wheelchairs difficult. There is no ramp or lift.
Outside
The apartment has a small patio/terrace with a BBQ and outside furniture for dining alfresco. The terrace leads onto the gardens and to the swimming pools. There is a swimming pool for adults and a children's pool. There is plenty of shared furniture around the swimming pool, including lounge beds. The gardens are gated and locked.
Coast/Beach
The apartment is in the village of Santa Luzia, which is on the Ria da Formosa (river/estuary). The beautiful beaches on the Ilha de Tavira, which stretch for 14 kilometers, are reached by a ferry in the summer or a walk/drive approx. a mile to the west where you can take a tourist train or walk through the lagoons via a floating bridge. Barril beach has excellent facilities and very safe, guarded swimming. It is backed by sand dunes and lagoons, making for all year round bird watching.
Golf
There are a number of excellent golf courses and golf facilities within a fifteen minute drive of the apartment including the beautifully situated Benamor, Quinta de Cima and Quinta da Ria courses.
Travel
You are 30 minutes drive from Faro airport. However, a car is not essential to access Santa Luzia as it is served by local buses and taxis and can be reached by train from Faro. Seville in nearby Spain is an alternative airport from which to access Santa Luzia.
Distances
You are 30 minutes drive from Faro airport, 5 minutes from the 17th Century town of Tavira on the River Gilao, with its many bars and restaurants, and 15 minutes from the excellent golf courses of Benamor, Quinta de Cima and Quinta da Ria. Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are within 30 minutes drive, with Vilamoura a further 15 minutes. All the resorts of the Western Algarve are within easy access, as is Spain, particularly the city of Seville.
Further details
Santa Luzia has a number of minimarkets and a pharmacy, while larger supermarkets and a fresh food market are located in Tavira.
The village has excellent seafood restaurants, cafes and bars that overlook the Rio Formasa, and restaurants serving traditional Algarve food in small cobbled squares.
Other activities include the new watershoot park at Loule (35 minutes drive) and you can swim with dolphins at Zoomarine (40 minutes drive). There is a sailing school located at Quatre Aguas just outside Tavira (5 minutes).
The Eastern Algarve has retained its unspoilt, traditional feel, with working fishing villages, blue flag beaches and small rural villages set in rolling hills.
