Casa Roberto is situated in a small, typical fishing village named Santa Luzia, on the south coast of Portugal in the province of the Algarve. Santa Luzia is still a very unspoiled area and therefore is a very calm and peaceful place. The traditional house with the apartments lies at the waterfront, and gives a direct view of the national park of the Ria Formosa with its typical fishing boats. In this nature reserve there is an island of 18 kilometres with white sandy beaches. You can reach the island facing the house through a footpath which brings you to the beach of Barril. During the summer months there is also a ferry which runs back and forth to the island and brings you to the beach of Terra Estreita. You can enjoy a vacation of sunbathing on the beaches or you can go sightseeing to many other places from Santa Luzia via public transport.

The international airport of the Algarve is situated in its capital, Faro. Faro airport is about 30 kilometres from Tavira. Tavira, about 4 kilometres from Santa Luzia, is the nearest town. Tavira is called the Venice of the Algarve, because the town is split by a river named the Rio Gilao. There are many bridges crossing the river. One of them is a Roman bridge with seven arches beneath.Tavira is one of the most typical traditional Portuguese towns in the Algarve. You can enjoy a lovely walk in the centre of Tavira, do some shopping, have a bica (little espresso coffee) on one of its many terraces or have a nice meal in one of its traditional restaurants. There is also a large choice of supermarkets such as Lidl, Aldi and Pingo Doce and a wonderful market hall selling freshly caught fish, shellfish, meat, fruit and vegetables. Just outside of the city centre, there is a large shopping mall named Gran Plaza. If you want to shop in Santa Luzia, you can find almost anything in the local supermarkets around the church. There is a large choice of cafés and restaurants in Santa Luzia, many serving wonderful seafood and of course octopus for which the region is famous.
