About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Um apartamento muito engraçado
O apartamento é muito giro, tal e como se descreve nas informações e fotos, calmo e fresco. A comunicação com a Michelle realmente ótima, sempre atenta e pronta para resolver quaisquer pormenor. Adoramos e recomendamos para quem procura um lugar calmo e relaxante à beira do mar.

Property slightly disappointing. Description not overly accurate. Previous occupants items left behind. Santa Luzia itself is wonderful. Extremely relaxing.

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.

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.

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!
