Floor facing south with BBQ, 2 long chairs, table, four chairs, sink and a fridge for cold drinks.

The living room-kitchen is at the other end of the corridor with bay-windows overlooking the quiet street Das Andainas with her palms and other mature trees on a well kept lawn.

Enjoyable stay

Apartment is quite basic but comfortable. Good kitchen facilities and bed was good. Shower was good but we found stepping into the bath a bit of a pain. Living area quite dark due to the trees outside but thankfully with the wonderful weather and roof terrace we weren't inside much. Dog on the ground floor a pain and even though the owner assured us it would not bite we weren't convinced. overall we had a lovely month and enjoyed the local food.

Santa Luzia

Property slightly disappointing. Description not overly accurate. Previous occupants items left behind. Santa Luzia itself is wonderful. Extremely relaxing.

Lovely apartment

This is a compact and tidy apartment, with everything you need as a couple. The kitchen area is well equipped - we ate in for three of the seven nights we spent here. The roof terrace area is just wonderful, spectacular views over the Ria Formosa and plenty of room for having breakfast, evening drinks or just soaking up the rays! The location is ideal, on the Tavira side of Santa Luzia, which is a lovely quiet fishing village, but one with a number of good restaurants (we recommend Vincents!) Michelle was an excellent host - easy to communicate with and very helpful. There is a slight issue with the electricity tripping, but we found that as long as we were careful not use too many other appliances when the oven was in use, we didn't have a problem. Thanks Michelle.

Nice apartment in a charming town

The whole process of renting this apartment was went very smoothly. Excellent communication with the owner. The apartment we very clean and comfortable and my only complaint was with the owner of the noisy dog on the ground floor. Santa Luzia is a very good base for a holiday in this area. Charming little town with brilliant restaurants.

Lovely apartment in superb Santa Luzia

We stayed here for a month in June/July. The apartment is situated at the end of Santa Luzia on the way out to Tavira, the nearest larger town, on a quiet street. There are 4 restaurants on the immediate block and loads more less than 5 mins walk away on the waterfront and backstreets of Santa Luzia. The waterfront is picture postcard perfection. The apartment itself is on the second floor and has one bedroom with a large comfortable double bed and loads of storage space. A well equipped bathroom with a shower over the bath. A living room with a 32 inch LCD TV and satellite TV, a superbly efficient air conditioning unit, a sofa bed and a dining table for 4 people. The kitchen is superbly equipped with everything you could need pot, pans, crockery and utensil wise. There is an induction hob and electric fan oven, a large fridge with a smaller freezer on top and a washing machine. There is also a coffee machine, electric juicer, stick blender, kettle and a toaster. We needed for nothing during our month here. There is a wonderful roof terrace accessed by one flight of steps right outside our flat with 2 sun loungers with padded seating, a table with 4 chairs, a sink and a BBQ. The view from up there of the ferry to the beach and the fishing trawlers going out each evening with a backdrop of the Ria Formosa and the Atlantic was simply magical. It was so peaceful up there. There is plentiful free parking on the street outside. There are small supermarkets in Santa Luzia but also an many in nearby Tavira. The nearest is Lidl 5 minutes away by car. Our host Michelle is super easy to deal with by phone, email or WhatsApp and will assist you, in the unlikely event you have any problems, with anything you may need or have issues with quickly. In fact we had issues with the wifi broadband and it transpired we had used up the monthly allowance of data in our first week here streaming tennis. We were unaware of there being a cap. Michelle looked into the issue of buying more data, which we said we would of course pay for, and ended up upgrading us to faster and unlimited wifi within 48 hours. Amazing service above and beyond our expectation for which we were and are still exceptionally grateful. This part of the Algarve coast is utterly beautiful and unspoilt. We have already booked to return not only to this area next year but also to Michelle's apartment as it has everything we need from a vacation home. Thank you Michelle and Willem

About the host

Hosted by Michelle (owner)

Michelle and Willem been married for 31 years.She is from Canada, Montreal. Speaks French, English, Dutch and Portuguese. Her husband is from Holland has a captain´s licence and speaks Dutch, English, German, Arabic,, French, Hivrit and Portuguese. They have been living in Portugal for the last 16 years with their daughter Suzanne. Casita das Andainas is their second apt here in the Algarve for holiday rental. With their experience they aim to answer all your expectations and wishes.

Why they chose this property

Years ago we discovered Santa-Luzia and found it to be an authentic, friendly small fishing village.
Walking along the boulevard on the river bank we feel that time slows down here to a peaceful rhythm.
It´s easy to enjoy simple things like a nice coffee in the morning on one of the plenty sunny terraces watching the fisherman going out to sea. Or sipping a nice wine on a peaceful evening while the aquatic birds fly once more over the lagoon to find their resting ground for the night.
This particular region of the east Algarve is known as the Polvo coast, the coast of the octopus, for most of
the octopus caught in the Algarve comes from Santa-Lucia.The restaurants along the boulevard all have their own recipes for delicious octopus dishes.
The overall genuine atmosphere of the place made us decide to buy an apartment for tourist rental and,eventually, our own old age.

What makes this property unique

The main features of this apt is the lovely well maintained street with it's mature trees and the proximity of the RiaFormosa Nature Reserve with the Ilha Estreita beach.The apt. itself has a comfortable feeling to it because of the quality of the wood finish and glazed doors. The terrace with its breath-taking sea-view has the perfect size for sun bathing, family barbecue or just lazy days. Its a quiet street even in the high season, you are just far enough to be away from it all and close enough to join in, a small walk away.
