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.

Guest access

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.

Please note the home does have stairs ( see pictures) and the studio apartment is on the mid-level.

Other things to note

Central location:
- Beach ferry: 5 minute walk to Terra Estreita Beach ferry
- Waterfront restaurants: 2 minute walk
- 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.

As self catering holidays are increasingly commercialised and owned by companies, staying in an independently owned property is something I really enjoy. The house is lovingly restored with stylish and thoughtful architectural choices. It feels as though the owners are proud of their home- and they should be. Wonderful semi- outdoor kitchen and chic marble kitchen island. Large patios for sunbathing, looking at the stars, eating outside. Outdoor shower after a day at the beach is perfect ! Comfortable beds, air con. Rodrigo’s guide to the area is the only guidebook you need! It gives published guides a run for its money. The recommendations are spot on. I used to holiday in the area as a child and thankfully Santa Luzia is still as charming and unspoilt by over the top tourism as it was back then. Lots of places to eat, wonderful seafood of course. Sleepy cafes with coffee for 1euro and locals chatting in the shade. Quiet evening walks along the sea front. We would most certainly return.

the house is just as lovely as in the fotos. it's in a quiet road in a nice fisher village near the water and has everything you need - even beach towels, umbrellas and 2 bikes. the roof terrace is so nice, we saw flamingos flying over it. you can reach 2 beaches nearby, one with a ferry leaving a short walk from the house and another one which you can reach in 10 min by bike + 10 min walk/short train ride. tavira is also near, you can take the bikes. we always found a parking sport nearby. the host is also really nice and helpful.

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.

Amazing, charming stay in Algarve

Amazing, charming stay in Algarve

We could not have asked for a better experience for our week in Portugal’s Algarve. Rodrigo’s place is the perfect place to call home for those looking for the quiet, local experience of the Tavira area of the south. Located centrally in the small fishing town of Santa Luzia, this place was perfect as our "anchor" for us to explore the region. We had many amazing traditional meals at the local restaurants just steps away from the apartment, and really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor kitchen and living space at the apartment on days that we wanted to stay and cook at home. The kitchen was well equipped and it was a true delight to use it! The apartment itself is a beautiful, modernized traditional space and was clearly recently renovated perfectly. The bedroom was quiet and cool and the bed was very comfortable. We relied heavily on Rodrigo’s booklet of information and recommendations and we were very thankful to have that with us as we explored the area. One thing we would have loved to have was WiFi internet, because it was a bit difficult to make plans without good internet access. Otherwise, the amenities were wonderful. We used the beach towels and umbrellas provided and explored many towns and beaches. Some of our favorites were the nearby town of Tavira, Cacela Velha beach where we found local clams to cook dinner with, and driving a bit further to Praia Marinha and Praia Dona Ana beaches where we could see spectacular views. Overall, amazing experience and we definitely did not want to leave this little oasis! We can’t wait to come back.

The Apartment That Has Everything -- Including the World's Most Gracious Host

The Apartment That Has Everything -- Including the World's Most Gracious Host

My husband and I rented Rodrigo's beautiful apartment for a lovely, peaceful week in the Algarve, and had one of the most pleasant stays we've had anywhere in the world. The apartment is beautiful to be in, and so thoughtfully and artfully put together. It also has the hottest water I think we've had in anyplace, anywhere -- a luxury! The towels and linens were top-quality; the bed was firm; the kitchen a joy to prepare meals in. (We found a fish market and cooked at home a few nights.) Then there is Rodrigo himself. He contacted me before our stay with his detailed, well-crafted guidebook, and was in touch throughout our week there with helpful, witty, and excellent suggestions for things to do. Do yourself a favor and listen to what he says -- he knows and loves his beautiful country and is a wonderful authority. We would return in a heartbeat to this jewel of a place. It was spectacular.

Magnifique, magnifique villa - nous n'avions pas pas envie de partir

Magnifique, magnifique villa - nous n'avions pas pas envie de partir Nous avons passé deux semaines merveilleuses . A notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par la maman de Rodrigo qui était très chaleureuse. (un grand merci pour votre disponibilité). Nous avons visité toute la maison ensemble et avons été ravis de découvrir que le frigo était garni avec du jus de fruit, de l'eau, de la bière ,du petillant et même des gateaux régionaux. la maison est impeccable, très spacieuse et très bien équipée ( linge de lit et de toilettes fournis) avec tout ce dont vous pourriez avoir besoin. La chambre est climatisée, une cuisine ouverte splendide , un toit terrasse avec vue sur la lagune et la mer .MAGNIFIQUE! Situé au beau milieu d'un petit village de pecheur qui proposent toutes les commodités : restaurants , bars, épiceries ... la plage en bateau ou en petit train et à quelques minutes, la très charmante ville de Tavira . C'est un excellent point de départ pour visiter l'algarve (Rodrigo est d'excellent conseil) ou pour vous poser car vous y etes tellement bien... Merci beaucoup Rodrigo. Nous avons passé des vacances fantastiques et recommandons hautement ce petit bijou.
