About the town:
Santa Luzia is a calm fisherman village with award winning beaches and easy access to beautiful historic Tavira. The town sits on the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a lagoon and barrier island preserve rich in biodiversity and a birdwatcher's paradise. Come here to enjoy long dune beaches, relax and eat well. This is the other Algarve.

Map Pin Location: Please note that system map incorrectly places the house location on the beach side barrier island. This is incorrect-- no construction is allowed on the beach island. This property is in the historic core of Santa Luzia and is on the 'second line' of homes- the shortest distance from the waterfront without having to be directly next to the restaurants and waterfront foot traffic.
