About this property

Your ideal, affordable place in the sun! St-Luzia apt. with sea-view.

Casita Das Andainas as been given a official licence from Tavira for tourisme rental. It is on the 2nd floor with the terrace on the 3th. Floor facing south with BBQ, 2 long chairs, table, four chairs, sink and a fridge for cold drinks. You will want to enjoy the evenings with a nice glass of wine watching the sunset and observe the fisherman coming back from the sea with their fresh catch or watch the locals play the very popular game of petanque on the square a small distance away.
The apt is divided into 1 sleeping room, furnished with a comfortable double bed and 1 bathroom with bath and bidet. 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. The kitchen is well equipped for easy meals or for elaborate dinners. The owner put a special touch on the lighting to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Casita Das Andainas is also equipped with flat-screen tv dvd/cd, books and games. And if you feel lazy you can always grab a bite across the street. You have a choice of several restaurants and snack-bars that offer the fresh catch of the day at a modest price.

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.

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.

Winter away from the cold
We spent 2 months at the condo and had a lovely time. The property is exactly as pictured. Dealing with Michelle was very easy especially considering Covid we had to delay a year, she was very understanding. We would book the condo again when we return to Santa Luzia.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle (owner)

Host profile image
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.
