Guest Comments.

Thanks Caroline for a lovely stay in Luz do Sul. It was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had for years. It was brilliant being meet at the airport, so that there was no stress in finding the villa, and it was great that the drive there was such a short one, but a world away from the hustle and bustle of Faro.  The villa itself is beautiful, spacious and well equipped. The gardens green and verdant, with such gorgeous bougainvillea.
Being woken by the sound of birdsong, and absolutely no traffic was bliss! The pool had to be the highlight, large, clean, warm and private, but sunny all day. The views of sunsets in the evening were amazing. You were a fantastic host, and it was a real pleasure to meet you. We have highly recommended your villa to friends, and would love to come and stay again ourselves. Gail and Mike

Caroline we thank you for making our stay at Luz do Sul one to remember.  Very relaxing, peaceful, great views central location to get everywhere easily. Perfect in so many ways. The villa dose you proud and we hope to return again in the very near future..p.s Thomas and daddy loved the pool sooo much..Dee and Thomas.

Dear Caroline.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. It was a perfect location for a family holiday, such a peaceful, relaxing spot, the children particularly loved the pool, while we just loved sitting with a glass and a peanut looking at the view! And yet the villa is so handy for all you could want. We found the supermarket down the road very good, plus the bread from the pizzeria/cafe, and Loule market was wonderful on Saturday.
Anna and I had a great time riding with Alex, thank you so much for organizing it. Phillipa

“Fantastic host, fantastic views and wonderful disabled friendly villa.”

We have just returned from Portugal where we had a wonderful time with family in Luz do Sul. My sister is very disabled and reliant on an electric powered chair which was hired for her by our brilliant host Caroline. She was easily able to get around the villa and gardens via the ramps that have been installed and the shower is flat and easily accessible.We had many a happy night outside on the terrace watching the twinkling lights of the city in the distance from our high vantage point..
Everything is totally relaxing and the villa is fully equipped with all you need. Car hire is really a must as there are lots of great places to visit within a short distance. We also highly recommend Angela's Gourmet Home Dining service for a great meal cooked in the villa. Fine dining with a wonderful view.
Everything including the pool is great. Highly recommend to everyone especially disabled people..Not easy to find the villa but Caroline meets you at the airport and will escort you back if required. Having scoured the internet for disabled friendly places all over Europe I had almost given up when I found this one. Look no further, book this. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

“Fab holiday in Algarve.”

Hugely enjoyable 2 weeks. The weather was great as was the exceptionally spacious villa, pool and accessibility. This was the most wheelchair accessible villa we have stayed in yet it didn't appear much different to 'normal' villas which was nice. The owner, Caroline, was excellent. She was efficient, kind and very helpful when needed. The villa sits quite high up and has some great views towards towards the coast and is only 2 minutes from Almancil and about 5 minutes from Loule.
The peace and quiet was lovely apart from the occasional cockerel crowing!

An excellent villa, secluded up in the foothills above Almancil yet close to the luxury golfing resorts, great food and, of course, the beach. The views are superb and the garden and pool area is baked in sunshine all day long. Wonderful location for exploring the Algarve or for relaxing days at the villa with plentiful facilities for outside dining (including incorporated brick BBQ). The villa is owned by a lovely lady who was most helpful to us during our stay with our young family. Highly recommended, we will return there ourselves.

Dear Caroline.
Wanted to drop you a note telling you how very pleased we were with the whole experience of renting Villa Luz do sul. The house was just as the website indicated with no unpleasant surprises, wonderfully maintained and extremely comfortable. We had a wonderful holiday. Thanks again. Fernada
