The elegant interior and beautiful garden of Solar da Luz are a testament to the miraculous transformation of a once-despairing place. When Carlos Vieira bought the property in 2012, Solar da Luz had been abandoned for many years and was fading into oblivion. However, Carlos Vieira and his family committed themselves to preserving the city's heritage. And thus they embarked on a meticulous restoration - a true labor of love and dedication - to bring back the splendor of Solar da Luz and preserve its essence. Solar da Luz had undergone several modifications over the decades that did not respect its original architecture or style. Modern tiles were placed on the facade’s wall, the beautiful ceilings and walls were damaged, and the garden was overrun with bushes. The coats of arms and other ornaments were almost unrecognizable. Solar da Luz had lost its former beauty. The Vieira family recognized the importance of such a unique property. So they sponsored a meticulous restoration project. It recovered Solar da Luz’s original character and materials while respectfully introducing modern conveniences. They also hired Nini Andrade Silva, one of the most renowned Portuguese designers, and devoted the finest resources to elevate Solar da Luz’s interiors. The result is an elegant and beautiful atmosphere that reminds us of a palace but with the comfort of a home.

While Solar da Luz may be steeped in history, it's far from outdated. The restoration of this villa has preserved its historical character while creating a sophisticated and comfortable atmosphere. The Portuguese designer Nini Andrade Silva was responsible for the project. All the rooms are decorated with finest furniture and objects from the craftsmanship such as Portuguese Boca do Lobo and Ferreira de Sá Rugs brands.
Distributed between the three floors, the 12 suites, all with en-suite bathrooms, are elegant and comfortable. On the first floor, the luxurious furnishings and accessories are a pleasant contrast to the strong character of the stone walls. On the second floor, both formal dining and living rooms remind us of Solar da Luz's palatial quality.
