Short stay in a fishing village

Great accommodation close to all amenities in an active fishing village. It was lovely to wake up to hear the village activity and feel part of it. The apartment had everything we needed and I particularly enjoyed having a teapot.

Exceptional Property and Location

A friend recommended the Santa Luzia/Tavira area for a stay. We booked Brian's place and immediately fell in love with the place, location and food. Excellent walking distance into Tavira town. Excellent beach access. Excellent food right outside the residence. Brian was a gracious host, sharing information with us. We loved the whole setup of the property and everything in perfect working order. Highly recommended!!

Good Property, Good Views, Good Location.

Well located in small town but plenty of restaurants and bars both on the sea front and in streets away from it. View from terrace excellent and facing west to allow enjoying the sunset. Roof top terrace gave full view up and down the river. Access to this is up external spiral staircase so need to be reasonably confident on stairs. Internal stairs to property not an issue for us as wide and well lit. As mentioned in owners description you can get a good breeze through the property. Recommended and we would not hesitate to come back if holidaying in the area.

Dias de puro descanço

O apartamento é óptimo, muito bem localizado, super limpo e o nosso anfitrião, Brian, muito prestável e atencioso, tudo o que é necessário para uns dias bem passados. Pequeno almoço no terraço com a ria como pano de fundo. Duas praias óptimas e de fácil acesso. Grandes passeios pela praia e almoço num dos seus restaurantes. Para o jantar a escolha era difícil, são vários os bons restaurantes. Final de noite numa esplanada junto à ria acompanhados de um cocktail. Dias de puro descanço.
