Enjoyed the quaint village of Santa Luzia…Michelle the owner was great to deal with and responded quickly to any queries we had. The location in the eastern part of the Algarve gave us opportunity to explore the areas that are removed from the very touristy parts of the Algarve…Loved the immense beaches!

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.

Family summer vacation

We recently stayed at Michelle's apartment in Santa Luzia and had a nice experience. The apartment was very clean, conveniently close to the town center, and the perfect size for a couple with a baby. We were especially grateful for the crib and high chair that the host provided for our baby. On the downside, we felt that there was a bit too much furniture and decorative items for a holiday home, but this is a personal preference. Additionally, a dishwasher would be a valuable addition to the apartment. Unfortunately, due to external factors (renovation work), we could only use the terrace with barbecue towards the end of our stay. However, the host kindly compensated us for the inconvenience.

Quiet Fishing Village close to Tavira

Loved the location, just 3.5 km from Tavira centre, on the top floor of a three story condo building, in the quiet fishing village of Santa Luzia. There is only one tourist shop with hand made ceramic seaside themed ornaments but Tavira is close by and has lots of shops. AND, in Santa Luzia there must be 30 places to either eat or drink and four of them are within 100 m of the front door. Our suite was as advertised and our hostess, Michelle, went out of her way to pick us up in Tavira on our check-in day. The suite was well equipped and included basic condiments and toilet paper and paper towels. It was great to have internet and satelite TV. We found the bed very comfortable. Michelle made sure we knew how to operate the various appliances and, if we needed them, manuals were kept handy. We enjoyed the roof top terrace and the view of the water. A little updating of the drapery and table linens wouldn't hurt but the suite was clean and we had no complaints. As with everywhere in Portugal there is a resident in the building with a dog that barked a lot but there's nothing Michelle can do about that. After a while we got used to it. Overall, a very good experience.

Lovely and well located apartment

The apartment was as pictured and described, with a lovely peaceful roof balcony and a good kitchen. Communication with Michelle was excellent and the location is ideal; no need for a car as restaurants and a supermercado are nearby. A great base for exploring Tavira and the surrounding area.

One Week Stay

The owners were exceptional. When I arrived, they met me at the train station and took me to a grocery store to buy some provisions before taking me to the rental. When I was unable to arrange a taxi to take me back to the train station, they picked me up at a very early hour and took me back to the train station so I could depart on time. Well above and beyond the call of duty!

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.

Wonderful holiday and great apartment

2 way transfers from airport by Willhem were reliable and good value. Apartment is as described and shown on the website. Apartment is in a quiet block and is very convenient for beaches, transport, restaurants and bars of Santa Luzia. Upstairs roof terrace and BBQ were used for our meals with great views over the Ria Formosa and toward Tavira. The apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We would have reviewed our stay as 5*, but unfortunately the bedroom A/C unit was out of order, as was the small fridge on the roof terrace; both these points were explained to us on arrival. A large fan was available in lieu of the air conditioning unit. We will certainly consider booking this apartment again when we next return to Santa Luzia.

Nice place

Overall it was nice and Michelle came to the bus station to pick us up which was appreciated. We had an issue with the outside key trying to get back in after we went to the grocery store. I tried everything to no avail, neighbours were helpful and after an hour or so the owners friend came by. I had tried to reach the owner but was not successful. The friend called the owner and reached her right away. Turns out the key needed to be “jiggled” a little. After taking to the owner she expressed she should have told us that. We had no other key issues afterwards. Just be aware of that and ask about it. Also be mindful with having too much plugged in or the breaker will trip. The owner did explain this to me but l still tripped the breaker, l had the mini split on for heat and had turned on a small heater in the bathroom because it was cold. Other than these issues, it’s a very nice apartment and has a lovely place up on the rooftop to lounge and has a lovely lovely view up there. Lastly it’s like 4 euros to take an Uber onto Travira and Travira is amazinggggg. This was a good probe for this apparent no doubt.

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
