Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking for a modern home that’s designed for a small group of friends or family, without missing out on all the luxuries you’d expect from a huge villa, then this beachfront apartment is perfectly suited. Set in the quiet fishing village of Santa Luzia, you're a short walk from the golden sands and turquoise water of the Atlantic Ocean. From the balconies, you'll have views of the Ria Formosa lagoon and the sea, while the home is still private and peaceful. Wake up to sunny mornings and head straight down to the decked terrace to sip your coffee on a day bed. The villa encourages indoor-outdoor living, with a large outdoor terrace, complete with a barbecue, dining area and of course, your own swimming pool. When the heat rises, dive into your pool to cool off, before drying off while getting lost in a good book. Come inside to escape the midday heat and find a comfortable living room with modern furnishings. Gather together at the dining table for lunch or mosey down to town for a bite to eat at one of the seafood restaurants and friendly cafes. As the evening sets in, pop open a bottle... of bubbly and say cheers to the laidback coastal lifestyle.
