Top Apt With Roof Terrace, Stunning 180º Atlantic Ocean and Ria Formosa View!

This bright and spacious luxury waterfront apartment has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of these breathtaking 180º panoramic views across the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Fuseta Island and the Atlantic Ocean!

We have another apartment in the same Condominium: /p8994980

The complex boasts a communal swimming pool complex located on the opposite side and within view of the apartment. It is set amongst landscaped gardens, solely for the use of the guests and has 2 good size outdoor swimming pools. The roof top pool flows down as a waterfall to the lower pool. There are several areas for sunbathing equipped with loungers.

The unspoilt fishing village of Fuseta is only a 15 minute walk away with its square and many cafes, bars and restaurants, shops, post office, bank and fresh produce markets also the lagoon beach and the ferry to the island. The train station for access to the west side of the Algarve and to the Spanish border is a short 8 minute walk from the apartment. Conveniently the apartment is only a 35 minute drive from Faro airport.

The apartment and area is ideal for families with lots to see and do, or couples seeking a romantic getaway.

The Algarve / East Algarve region
The Algarve is the most sunniest place in Europe with 3000 hrs of sun each year. There are miles of unspoilt golden sandy beaches. Flight time to Faro direct from UK is approx 2.15 hrs and Fuseta is 30-35 mins drive from airport. The Portuguese are warm and very helpful people and many can speak English.

Fuseta is a small town in the Ria Formosa in the eastern Algarve only 20 kms from Faro. Fuseta was originally a collection of small huts kept to store tools for fishing boats and now has developed but is still very traditional and touristic. The town is known for its quaint cubed houses with their terraces and interesting chimneys.

Fuseta has two beaches within walking distance of the apartment: a small beach on the lagoon in the town itself and a ocean beach is just across the lagoon on the Island of Armona (short, cheap and frequent ferry ride). The Ocean beach extends for miles so those seeking more peace and privacy can walk 10 minutes to have the beach almost to themselves! Spend the day here and relax in the restaurant, bars and cafes.

Faro, the capital of the Algarve is a great place to visit for its history, particularly attractive is the old part of the city still surrounded by the Roman walls. It is the home to the city's archaeological museum. The 'Golden' church contains the Macabre Spectacle of a chapel lined with the bones of 1,200 monks!

Olhão is a busy modern town with a gem of a waterfront. Its fishing port is the most important in the Eastern Algarve and its fish market is the biggest. Has many shops, restaurants and an entire summer festival devoted to sea food. You can take boats to the island villages and beaches of Armona, Culatra and Farol - all great day trips.

Tavira, 20 minutes away by car is a wonderful mix of the unexpected and the unusual. You will find a 13th century castle, the old gate of the city, a Camera Obscura, a magnificent Roman bridge, a beautiful garden with bandstand, and the old market hall which has been converted into a cafe/restaurant and craft shops area. There are many churches for which Tavira is famous. The Barril beach, Monte Gordo or Monta Rota are often voted as the best beaches.

There are water parks to the west, zoo marine where you can swim with the dolphins and go carting all within 55 mins drive.

Excellent apartment in the Algarve.
This apartment is the perfect location in the Algarve Region of Portugal. Easy to take day trips to beautiful locations in the Algarve. Located within easy walking distance of all the features you will want to see in Fuseta. Marta, the owner, is always available and gives excellent advice on grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Very helpful. The apartment has everything that you could need.

Incredible Experience
This was our second visit to the apartment and once again we found everything to be perfect. The rooftop has to be experienced at least once in a lifetime - we loved bringing fresh produce from the local market back and bbqing on it. We also watched the sun rise over the sea and set over the land each day, often from the hot tub. There are two ways to access the roof, which we appreciated for our 5 year old. She also loved the bunk beds. The front balcony is a superb sun trap during the day, and everything indoors more than met our expectations and our needs. We were able to access the beautiful swimming pool with inbuilt waterfall across the road whenever we liked, and it was a very short walk into the fishing village of Fuseta with its many excellent cafes and restaurants. It is a lovely traditional part of Portugal, easy to reach from Faro airport and with easy public transport and taxi access to the rest of the Algarve. Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank Marta our host for making everything so straightforward and easy for us during our stay. From answering questions immediately to offering flexibility with our check out time, Marta’s hospitality was greatly appreciated by the 3 of us, and we can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic views
The apartment is in a great location with unrivalled views, and Fuseta is a lovely area to visit. It is a 15 min walk into town / to the beach, and there is a fabulous tapas restaurant/ bar across the road. I'm sure this was a 5 star apartment a couple of years ago but we felt it is in need of a bit of TLC and maintenance. The facilities are good but a bit run down. We struggled with 4 adults and bunk beds; 2 singles would be much better. Given all of this we would still absolutely return to the apartment but as 2 adults.

What a find!
Returned to Marta's lovely apartment in May this year. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable with lovely views from the panoramic balcony. The season is just beginning, so not too busy. We now know where everything is, so felt very at home. We used the local train to visit Tavira , Olhao and across to Spain. We can't wait to return!

Authentic Fishing village, few tourists-so Great!
We stayed the entire month of February 2023. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The bath towels must be washed with spring flowers because they smelled amazing. Being from a northern US climate, we loved the outdoor spaces-balcony and rooftop. We utilized the hot tub a lot and it was “spa-Like”. Know there are two stair cases to chose from to get to the roof top. We did not know that on our first day and I wish I would have known. The neighbors were super helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our chats with them. We also enjoyed area pets-Vanessa the chocolate lab who loves dog cookies, the beautiful kittens two houses down who love to frolic in the craziest ways and watching the carrier pigeons get their daily exercise! The town itself is everything I hoped it would be! The local grocery stores were small and crowded. The grilled fish restaurants were authentic and so, so yummy! There is a lengthy promenade that goes along the Ria Formosa. It’s nice to see it at different tide levels. Low tide, many people like to clam. We enjoy talking with fishermen and learning about octopus traps. Since we were there in February, we didn’t realize the river taxi and gelataria would be closed. We were able to get out on the water and islands through a tour. Ice cream we bought at the market. Overall, I’m so happy we stayed at this lovely spot. The views were amazing and I loved the quiet. I highly recommend!

Relax with an amazing view!
Marta (and her apartment)….what a gem! From sunrise to sunset, we could not have asked for a better view. Relaxing in the hot tub at night watching the moon come up was also a treat! Everything you need is supplied in the kitchen….our favourite was the juicer so we could have freshly squeezed orange juice every morning….a sunrise with liquid sunshine, nothing better! Easy walk to nature, beach and town for amazing Portuguese seafood/cuisine. Really was a wonderful stay….thanks again!
