Michelle was a lovely host, easy to communcate with and has a great apartment. The location was quiet and in a location that was easy to get around to other locations. Parking fantastic, rooftop patio was amazing to share wine and sit under the stars. The apartment had whatever you needed to cook a meal if you wanted, and was spacious and tidy. We loved it there!!!!!

The hosts, Michelle and William coud not have been more helpful and quick to respond to our needs or questions. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well equiped. A small market one block away met most of our needs. Transportation options to Tavira were easy and affordable. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone okay living in a small village.

Host was very accessible and responsive.Location was excellent and parking excellent.Really enjoyable but of course nothing is perfect. The bathtub was slippery and hot water is at a premium.The pillows need to be changed because they are a bit old. The tv took a lot of navigating to get to watch and because we are bedtime tv watchers we missed that.Overall we would stay here again. Tavira is nice and no crowds so very friendly .

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!

Nice apartment in a charming town

The whole process of renting this apartment was went very smoothly. Excellent communication with the owner. The apartment we very clean and comfortable and my only complaint was with the owner of the noisy dog on the ground floor. Santa Luzia is a very good base for a holiday in this area. Charming little town with brilliant restaurants.
