Last Minute - Lovely and spacious one bedroom apartment with large south - west facing terrace, 100 meter from the waterfront Location: Santa Luzia, a  picturesque small fishing town in the Ria Formosa Natural Park close to Tavira. Construction: approx 64 m2, including terrace, built in 2006. Description:  This new and well appointed ground floor apartment with large south facing terrace is situated in the fishing village Santa Luzia, just 3 km west from the lovely town Tavira with blue flag beaches, shops and restaurants close at hand. Santa Luzia is a very relaxing place with no high-rise buildings or busy streets. A typical Portuguese working fishing village that is very much as it has been for centuries with a small fishing community providing a variety of locally caught fresh fish and octopus for the many bars and restaurants. It has a pleasant palm lined river - part of the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve Park Laguna with tidal flows - that you cross to reach the beach and ocean beyond. At certain times of the day you can cross the river on foot but there are many small boats that work as ferries and also a charming open sided train that crosses. There are two blue flag beaches near by, one is called Terra Estreita which you can reach by ferry boat and the second is called Praia do Barril which is a short 15 minute walk (or take the charming mini train, children love it) through the Natural Reserve park of the Ria Formosa. This is also a very nice area for bird watching. Surfing, kite surfing boat trips and canoeing activities can be undertaken from the near by Barril Beach, which has bars and cafes. Tavira is just 3 km away so you can easily walk, take your car, catch a bus or a taxi for a few  Euros. Golf courses are just a 10 - 15 minutes away. A drive to the west coast would only take 1 hour and Seville is less than 2 hours drive away. This spacious and beautiful apartment is decorated to a modern standard. When you enter the property you come through the hallway into the light and bright living room with large sliding doors opening out to a large size terrace which gives that nice airy feel. The views are to the Ria Formosa Natural Reserve Park. The apartment and large south facing terrace have good exposure to the sun. The terrace with sun loungers and seating area has an outdoor shower.
