This rental is for a large apartment with indoor/outdoor living spaces and a private entrance. Everything is new and expansive with +13 foot ceilings (4m). Apartment is approximately 750 square feet (~70 sm) with ~1000SF (~90sm) of terraces and outdoor space.

The space

This apartment is a new and tasteful addition to a hundred year old, traditional and ornate facade house. The bedroom is completely enclosed and the kitchen and living areas are covered but open air. If needed, new large glass sliding doors can be closed to keep out wind while enjoying the view.

Special features include a partially open air kitchen, gourmet stainless steel BBQ and custom-created tile (azulejo) throughout.

This is an apartment built onto a traditional, standalone village home. The ground floor home will be unoccupied whenever the apartment is rented and guests will have exclusive and private use of all the property's outdoor spaces and the apartment during their stay.

Guests have exclusive and private access to all outdoor areas of the home, in addition to the studio apartment.

These include:
Ground Floor Courtyard: Inner courtyard with heated beach shower
Mid-level Terrace: Sun terrace in front of the covered living area with hammock.
Upper-level Terrace: Very large terrace with lagoon, sea, mountain and town rooftop views. Lounge chairs.

Other things to note

Central location:

- Barril Beach: 10 minute bike ride or 30 minute stroll on new walking path
- Tavira: 10 minute drive to historic center

About the town:
Santa Luzia is a calm fisherman village with award winning beaches and easy access to beautiful historic Tavira. The town sits on the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a lagoon and barrier island preserve rich in biodiversity and a birdwatcher's paradise. Come here to enjoy long dune beaches, relax and eat well. This is the other Algarve.

Map Pin Location: Please note that system map incorrectly places the house location on the beach side barrier island. This is incorrect-- no construction is allowed on the beach island. This property is in the historic core of Santa Luzia and is on the 'second line' of homes- the shortest distance from the waterfront without having to be directly next to the restaurants and waterfront foot traffic.

Relaxing, quiet stay.

If you’re after a quiet, relaxing stay, away from the usual busy resorts then this place is for you!! The apartment has everything you need and is close to everything in the village. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is modern and you have a hob and BBQ in the kitchen if you want to eat in on an evening. There is a tall table on the roof where you can sit, have a drink and enjoy the sunset. The information supplied by Rodrigo about the apartment, the village and local area was superb. We relied heavily on it. Unfortunately he couldn’t be there on our arrival, however his parents were there to let us in and show us around. The welcome drinks left in the fridge for us was a very nice surprise. There are surprisingly a lot of restaurants (I mean a lot) for the size of the village. Our favourite was the Sam Jeito tapas restaurant. Nice food, very friendly staff and owner, they even gave us a free drink each one evening. I recommend getting the small ferry boat to the Terra Estreita beach. It is soooo quiet and plenty of room, the beach goes on for miles. The isn’t much there in terms of restaurants, so we took our own food. Rodrigo has a supply of beach umbrella’s that you can take with you. You can also walk to Barril beach from the apartment, this is slightly busier but has more in terms of cafes, restaurants etc. I would highly recommend this apartment. We would definitely go back again the next time we are looking for a relaxing holiday.

Wunderschönes „Stadthaus“ im Fischerdorf

Tolles Haus mit wunderbarer Dachterrasse (nachts fliegen die Flamingos über unseren Köpfen hinweg), großartiger Herd, schöne Aussendusche! Obwohl mittendrin ist es sehr ruhig. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, vielen Dank für alles!

Village accueillant

Tout peut se faire à pied sans voiture pour ceux qui le souhaitent. Très joli village de pêcheurs. Vacances dépaysantes loin des grandes stations balnéaires ! Aller à la plage en bateau est très appréciable ! Nous avons aimé les bons restaurants portugais autour de notre logement. Nous souhaitons le calme et l’avons trouvé ! La fête des pêcheurs est à ne pas manquer pour son côté festif , un peu plus bruyant pendant 3jours. A 3 kms, se trouve la jolie ville de Tavira , avec restaurants , bars , shopping, marché couvert … et animations nocturnes. Destination en Algarve à ne pas manquer !

Ein bezaubernder Ort, um es sich gutgehen zu lassen

2 wundervolle Wochen in einem wunderschönen Ambiente. Das Abendessen auf der Dachterrasse bei Sonnenuntergang mit Blick aufs Meer über den Dächern von Santa Luzia, Schwalben zeigten ihre Flugkünste. Eigentlich wollten wir keinen positiven Review schreiben, damit unsere Optionen größer sind, dort zurückzukehren. 😊
