Thoughtful Step-Free Access

Front of the house, path to the pool & accessible bathrooms

Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings. We understand that every guest has different needs, so we've thoughtfully adapted our villa to make it as welcoming and accessible as possible, without losing the warmth and charm of a traditional Portuguese home.

While no property can meet every individual requirement, we've taken practical steps to help more guests enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.

From the tiled private parking area, you will find a gently sloping tiled ramp leading to the well-lit front entrance of the house. There is a 1-inch (2.5 cm) threshold, making entry easier for people with suitcases, a wheelchair or a walker. The front doorway is wider than 32 inches (81 cm), and the doorway into the Sun-Kissed Suite is a double doorway that can be opened wide for extra clearance when needed. There is also a flat tiled surface from the entrance of the house to the pool terrace and BBQ area with a table overlooking the pool, and a ramp down to the pool itself.

Your holiday is important to us. We want everyone to feel comfortable. If you have any questions about accessibility or would like to discuss your individual needs before booking, we'd be delighted to help you decide whether our villa is the right fit for you.
