Lovely, well situated apartment with all the facilities you need for a stay. Convenient for the village and the beaches and very clean and well appointed. Fabulous stay.

Communication with the owner was excellent, Sally was extremely helpful and her apartment was a lovely comfortable family holiday home with everything you need. Beaches nearby were fabulous and easily accessible, as was Tavira which is a 30 min walk but Sally has bikes available to borrow which is a bonus! We do not drive and found the public transport rather hit & miss, and almost non existent at weekends, but if you plan carefully there is a bus stop on the waterfront which goes to Tavira and the train station. The only problem we had was a very noisy owner neighbour which was unpleasant for us and is why I marked the neighborhood rating down to only 3 stars.

Midden februari verbleven wij een weekje in dit appartement, om te golfen en te relaxen. wij hadden het geluk dat het weer super was in die week. het strand is op redelijke loopafstand. Santa Luzia heeft een paar leuke zaakjes om te ontbijten. In deze tijd van het jaar waren er niet veel restaurantjes open, maar Tavira is vlakbij en daar is keus genoeg om te dineren. De communicatie met de eigenaresse was prettig en nauwkeurig. Het appartement voldeed aan alle verwachtingen. Kortom een aanrader voor wie naar deze streek wil gaan.

This apartment is in a perfect location because is walking distance to our favorite beach in Portugal (Barril beach) and to a lot of restaurants with excelent quality. The apartment is confortable, spacious and has great views to Ria Formosa and to see the sunset. Sally was always available to help us with everything we need. We are a cople from Lisbon that really liked our staying of 5 nights and hope to return soon.

Very nice location and well equipped house. The terrace is perfect for enjoying breakfast! Everything match the description.

Very well equipped which was welcomed as most of the restaurants were closed

This is a modern, bright apartment, very tastefully furnished and colourfully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped and all appliances are easy to operate. The large terraced balcony which overlooks the Rio Formosa catches the afternoon sunshine and is a perfect place for those who enjoy sunbathing and peace and quiet. Around and about there are many interesting places to visit, we particularly enjoyed all of the local markets, the churches and a ferry trip over the river at Villa Real de St. Antonio to Ayamonte in Spain. We were pleasantly surprised to find parking outside the apartment was plentiful and also free. The weather for our early November visit was pleasantly warm and a welcome change to a wet and dull UK Autumn. We would recommend this holiday property to anyone, it is ideally situated to explore the Algarve.

This roomy apartment was just perfect for our too-short stay in Santa Luzia! The village is charming and the apartment is well-equipped and so pleasant that I could have stayed for another week. The owner, Sally, has decorated the apartment with class. For part of our stay, our former exchange student from Latvia joined us with her 5 year old son, and we were delighted to see that the apartment comes with a great set of toys! The balcony was so relaxing. A breeze wafted through the apartment, and we couldn't have been happier! The location is perfect, we even drove to Seville, Spain for a delightful day! All the cafes in Santa Luzia serve great food and the people in the village were very friendly! Thanks, Sally, for making our last week in the Algarve totally amazing!

This is the third time we have stayed in Sally s apartment in Santa Luzia.The location is excellent only a short stroll to shops and restaurants and really convenient for the beach too.The apartment is spotlessly clean .It has lovely modern furniture and is very comfortable and very well equipped.We just loved sitting out on the balcony enjoying the tranquil surroundings and watching the lovely evening sunsets.Sally is always so helpful and pleasant to deal with.A real 'gem'of an apartment.We will be back.Thank you Sally.

Beautiful apartment with balcony overlooking Rio Formosa. Peaceful evenings spent watching comings and goings of local wildlife

Friendly management.

Comfortable and well-located with plenty of restaurants and a yummy pastelaria just a few minutes stroll away. Quiet apartment block, adequate street parking. Our second stay here, won't be our last.

The kitchen has all the equipments , and it's possible to look some french channels on TV.The balcony is spacious and well equiped to eat and sunbath in front of the sea which is very close. Santa Luzia is a small and quiet fishing port with small good restaurants , located at few kilometers of Tavira where there is a fish and vegetables market every day The availability of bikes is a most to visit the area.

My wife and I stayed in Sally's apartment from mid Septemper to start November. We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment had anything we needed during our time there. The terrasse was the most important place in apartment. Big glassdoors to open, and including terrasse. Here we spent most of time when we not was at the beach, in Tavira or out watching birds in the salinas. It was easy to communicate with Sally in front of our stay, and we also had contact once after some weeks. All in all, this was a fantastic place to stay for 6 weeks.

Thank you Sally for letting us stay in your lovely contemporary apartment. We have had a lovely time here and will definitely be back (for longer next time). The heatwave didn't put us off! Santa Luzia is such a calm place combined with friendly and beautiful. We found the food, beaches and surrounding areas just perfect!

We had a lovely stay at Sally's apartment .A great week from watching the sun go down every evening on the veranda and eating at local family Portuguese restaurant's.we enjoyed the quiet location great views and beaches.Thankyou Sally.

Our stay in the apartment was most enjoyable. It was a home from home experience for us. We found it spacious with every necessity catered for. The apartment is very bright and well laid out and is situated at the edge of this small town with terrific views across meadows, river and over towards the sea. Our usage of the balcony enhanced our stay as there was such a lot to see from that vantage point. Namely hoopoes, storks, rabbits, egrets, and owls. And generally relaxing as we watched the world go by. Although it is on the edge of town it is a very quick, level walk to the supermarket, restaurants and bus stop. The owner has very kindly supplied a number of dvd's in case of any possible poor weather (very unlikely). Also many paperback books and a radio. The only downside, maybe an oversight, was the fact that during our two weeks stay we did not have a change of bedding or towels. We always had a plentiful supply of hot water. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We would recommend the apartment unreservedly. The area is quite unspoilt and anyone looking for a stay in a very authentic Portuguese location with an extremely comfortable base then this is the place for you. Martin & Norma Carrington

Everything was well organised and exactly as described. We had a wonderfully relaxing fortnight away from the gloomy British winter.

The apartment has all you need for a trouble-free holiday. It is clean, well equipped and has excellent views. The owner is very helpful. It is a good size apartment in a very pleasant village. Thoroughly recommended.

Very nice and comfortable apartment. Great views over the.coast. Quiet location yet close to numerous restaurants and within walking distance of the beach. Very enjoyable stay.

We found Sally to be most helpful and kind, nothing was to much bother for her.We spent a lot of time on the terrace watching the bird life. It was an easy and pleasant walk to praie del rey where we caught the little train to the beach . The food in Santa Luzia was amongst the best we have tasted . Casa do polvo tasquna and A casa on the riverside being the best. Many thanks for all your help Sally! We had a wonderful time. Raymond and Edie Hogg

Very neat well appointed apartment ideal for a lovely quiet and relaxing holiday. The apartment has all you need including really effective aircon, and nice thoughtful touches like an iPad for tv and Internet, a selection of DVDs and books and the use of bikes. Whilst on the edge of the village it's perfect for both the excellent nearby beaches and the restaurants of Santa Luzia. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked for 2017!

Enjoyed 10day break in April. Weather was generally good not too hot. The apartment was excellent, very well equipped and comfortable double bed. The large balcony gave unspoilt views over the countryside and over the river to the isle of Tavira. The Barril beach was in easy walking distance over the nearby bridge. Binoculars are a must if you are interested in birdlife as many species can be seen from the balcony and on the nearby salt lagoons. Richard and Eileen Dorset

A wonderful modern apartment with everything you would need. The balcony is a lovely place to sit with views over the countryside and the sea and fantastic for you twitchers out there. A stunning beach is within walking / cycling distance and can be accessed by cute little train at Pedras Del Rei or by water taxi from the centre of the village [prepare for an eyeful from the occasional naked bathers]. The village is a real fishing village and has lots of really good restaurants which are quality and are inexpensive. We have tried most of them but this year mostly used Alcatraz and would highly recommend it. The people are friendly and helpful but do try a few words of Portuguese and you will be richly rewarded. We made good use of the bikes to get into Tavira [good bike lane between SL and Tavira] and you can take bikes of the train which we did to go to Vila Real where you can take the little Ferry to Ayamonte in Spain which is a terrific day trip. Tavira is a lovely eighteenth century town with lovely squares, gardens and churches and you must go there. There are some nice little bars / restaurants down by the river on the eastern bank and we enjoyed a few cool beers looking up towards the Roman Bridge. To sum up, terrific apartment, location, beach, food and drink, inexpensive and really peaceful. Enjoy!
