This is the real Algarve, not a resort property. Clean, fun, awesome rooftop patio, and you are a local the moment you arrive. Friendly neighbors and a wonderful restaurant a two minute walk away. Well situated to visit everything in the Algarve, from Sagres to Tavira. Consider a day trip to Sevilla; it’s that close too.

Peaceful, quiet location. Having a car is essential. Rooftop terrace was great but would benefit from a new barbeque.Good host. Cedric was always quick to respond.

A quirky and quiet stay, off the beaten track. Enjoyed being away from it all with beautiful views. The host responded to an issue with the key straight away and things were dealt with immediately. Couldn’t have asked for a better service. Thank you.

Idyllisch gelegenes Haus, absolut ruhig für einen erholsamen Schlaf. Ein Auto ist erforderlich, um an die wunderschönen Strände der Algarve zu kommen und im nahe gelegenen Tavira essen zu gehen.Das Haus ist top gepflegt, alles auf neuestem Stand.Wir würden es sofort wieder buchen, wenn wir Urlaub an der Algarve machen!

Entspannung an der Ria Formosa

Schön eingerichtetes Häuschen mit phantastischem Blick auf Lagune und Meer. Freundliche und hilfreiche Vermieter. Abends leider etwas eingeschränkte Ruhe durch die Besucher des nahe gelegenen - guten - Fischlokals.

Schattig vissershuisje

Luazinha is een authentiek en schattig vissershuisje op een fraaie plek. Vrij uitzicht op de lagune in een rustige omgeving. Kilometers rustige zandstranden in de omgeving.

Heerlijke week in een leuk, comfortabel en goed ingericht huis., opstaan in de stilte met vogelgeluiden, rustig en toch niet te geisoleerd. Zeer aan te bevelen

Stimmungsvoll

Wir haben uns im Fischerhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders die Abend- und Morgenstimmungen an der Ria Formosa haben uns stark beeindruckt. Wir fühlten uns sofort zu Hause und wollten gar nicht mehr weg.

Ruhiges kleines Haus für Paare

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Luazinha sehr genossen. Das Haus ist gemütlich ausgestattet und hat eine schöne sonnige Terrasse mit Blick auf die Fischerboote. Wir haben uns auch dank der ruhigen Lage gut erholt und kommen gerne wieder.

Der schönste Blick

In diesem wunderschön renovierten Fischerhaus haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das absolute Highight ist der Ausblick auf die Ria Formosa gleich vor dem Haus. Ob von der Veranda oder von der Dachterrasse, diese sich stetig verändernde Landschaft ist wunderschön. Das Haus selbst ist gut eingerichtet und hat in jedem Zimmer eine gut funktionierende Klimaanlage. Die Lage ist ruhig und doch in sehr nah an Tavira und ein paar hübschen Stränden. Wir werden sehr gerne wieder kommen.

Luazinha

A casa situa-se num local calmo à beira da ria Formosa, com uma vista fantástica do terraço que tem uma pérgula. Para ser perfeita, sugiro uma manutenção global no interior da casa, sobretudo ao nível da cozinha e da casa de banho.
