Our first trip abroad as we wanted to test ourselves to see if we could still travel, yes we can! Thank you Caroline for making it easy to manage. A lovely stay, though over too soon.  We especially enjoyed the Fat frog, Pri pri and Barbacoa, the lovely and helpfully...

A lovely secluded spot with beatiful views - a very relaxing holiday and wonderful to spend time with our friends in such an accessible villa, perfect for all of us. Kate and family.

The fact this is our 5th visit says it all.  We love it here and the independence it gives Clive (wheelchair user) in getting around, being able to get into the pool etc. The accessible beach at Vilamoura is our favourite day out. The lifeguards are always happy to...

I’ve just returned from my second visit to Luz du Sol and cannot recommend it highly enough. Planning a visit next year is the only way to manage the blues of not being sat in a shady armchair by the blooming Bougainvillea anymore! As a full time wheelchair user it’s...

Review from Julie francis. October/November 2021 We have just returned from the most relaxing two week stay at Luz do Sol. The villa was really accessible for my husband who is a wheelchair user, and there was so much room and space for the whole family to enjoy. The...

Before you're able to unwind and relax, there are so many considerations when travelling with a disability; accessible transport while you're there, equipment hire vs taking half your house with you, and are there enough rooms for me, my family and my personal...

We have just enjoyed a week's family holiday at Villa Luz do Sol, Algarve. This Villa was perfect for our party, which included 3 small children, 6 adults, one of which has MS. Caroline, the owner was very helpful and on hand if needed. Added bonus was the use of the...

We are currently (15/5/19) holidaying at Luz Do Sol in Portugal & it is everything the website says/shows it is - and more. Caroline, who we had never met until we arrived on Saturday, is a welcoming, amiable host for whom nothing is too much trouble. It is...

This year we will be returning for our 4th stay at Luz Do Sol and can’t wait! It’s become an annual highlight since we discovered it 5 years ago. The villa is fully equipped for anyone using a wheelchair or who is disabled and this makes it an easy break for both the...

I am a repeat visitor to Luz do Sol - I have been there 3 times now and am going again later this year - and I always have the most wonderfully relaxed time. The villa and its amenities are fantastic, the local area and places to eat and visit are wonderful and...

Absolutely love this place. Have returned year after year. Very comfy and spacious with fabulous outdoor space. The owner is the wonderful Caroline - she makes this feel like home from home which is a cliché but its true. She could not be warmer or more helpful....

We spent a week here with family in October 2018. The villa is fully accessible for wheelchair users. It is in a beautiful quiet setting in the hills and not far (a short drive) from amenities in Almancil. There are plenty of good restaurants if you want to eat out or...

This was our second visit to the villa, as it has everything needed for an excellent accessible holiday. Caroline has really put great thought into making the holiday as stress-free as possible, from arranging the WAV pick-up from the airport to providing a Kangoo WAV...

We all had such a wonderful rest, spacious and comfortable villa – fabulous views – Caroline so helpful and rather comforting knowing she is nearby – lovely pool, my girls swam every day which is so beneficial normally pools are not warm enough. Great restaurants. All...

Hi Guy's, (C5/6 Complete) I've just got back from a fantastic week in the Algarve (Newcastle 3hrs, Stanstead 2hrs). After a short 30 min airport transfer, we arrived at this amazing villa, fully accessible with equipment, pool lift, shower chairs, and hoists. Sleeps 7...

My family has just had a wonderful 2-week holiday in Casa Luz do Sol. We would totally agree with the comprehensive review posted earlier by Charlotte Player. The villa is spacious, with a view across the hills to the sea, and the garden and terraces offer both sun or...

After spending 2 weeks here I couldn’t rate this villa any higher it has been beautiful from start to finish (2 days to go) and don’t want to leave. Caroline has been the best host you could wish for and her villa is everything we could of wished for..xx

We have had an amazing stay here, with huge thanks to Caroline for taking all the anxiety out of holidaying with a family member in a wheelchair. We have been pretty lazy, making the most of the villa, but have dragged the teenagers out for some trips. Caroline thanks...

We had the pleasure of staying in Carolines villa for two blissful weeks! We visited Portugal for the first time with our 15 year old son who has CP. and our two daughter and a carer. The villa is lovely amd spacious yet homely and comfortable. The pool was a huge hit...

"Just returned from an excellent stay at Luz do Sol, a group of four including a teenager in a wheelchair. The property is a delight and access well thought through. The property wasn't designed to be accessible so there is one internal ramp (low and shallow but worth...

Reviewer: Mandy from Lancashire, England Review This Villa far exceeded our expectations, we booked directly with the owner Caroline who went out of her way to give us all the information we needed. There were 8 of us including two people with quite different mobility...

We booked this Villa direct with the owner, Caroline. From the outset it was very clear she cannot do enough to make your holiday a comfortable and accessible stay. From the reassuring emails before we arrived that helped to set up car hire (essential), a hoist for...

5 stars - Delightful ! This Villa is beautiful and exceptional. Not only is it large and spacious but the owner made every effort to ensure our stay was easy and peaceful. The owner (who was on hand whenever we needed local guidance or advice) has also ensured that...

Casa Luz do Sol certainly lived up to its billing. Situated in a quiet area outside the town of Almancil, a car is essential -., I recommend AutoGem car hire. Caroline is a superb host and will do almost anything to make your break/holiday a success. She even did our...

Wow what a villa, so sad to leave today after two weeks of bliss. Caroline is very welcoming and extremely helpful and knowledgeable.  She has produced a very accessible property for wheelchair users. Pool is great, puppy great! weather is outstanding, I'm sure future...

This villa is to die for - very secluded, stunning views day and night, and the pool lit up at night all add up to a really relaxing break. The villa is perfect for disabled people, with loads of small ramps that allow access to everywhere on site, and the kitchen has...

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,...

We have had a lovely stay in the villa, it has been particularly good for my disabled husband who has been completely independent exactly like our own home.  We have visited many sights since we have been here and enjoyed the wonderful views, peace and solitude.  We...

Dear Caroline.  Thank you for a wonderful week of bliss. The villa is beautiful and spacious with wonderful views.  We loved our daily walks down to the town and chilling by the pool. Were just sad that we have to leave! Barth, Gen, Jane, Steven and Ailis..
