Overheard "Rocha Brava" in the staff canteen whilst bemoaning the UK spring - booked it that afternoon. Most unlike me to commit with zero research and no recommendation! Put the weather in its box - it's been bad everywhere and Easter came 3 weeks early! Self catering 3 bed villa was EXCELLENT value. Cleaned daily, beds made, sheets changed, logs... More

We spent a week here in March in a 1 bed apartment. It was just great. The whole complex was very clean and the apartment was cleaned and fresh towels provided every day. It is a good 20 minute walk to the village but there is 2 shops, 4 or 5 restaurants and a bar on the site and the... More

We rented a three bedroom villa for a week through his holiday property bond, for my 79 year old father to have some winter sun, and Rocha Brava was his find. The holiday village, as I suppose you would call it is immaculately maintained and easy to walk about on pedestrianised paths and quiet roads. There are several restaurants and... More

We've been to Carvoeiro 5 times now with our 5 year old son and have finally found the best place to stay. A real gem. It is a way out from the town (around 3km) but there are 3 courtesy buses a day and the it isn't an issue. Two beautiful beaches within walking distance, some good local small supermarkets... More

Within a few kilometres of the resort there are half-a-dozen beautiful coves with sandy beaches, and if you're feeling adventurous you can visit them all... More

Sitting on some of the most beatiful views in the Algarve this well managed resort has everything. Well maintained properties, fantastic gardens around the site and good eating in and around the area. The staff are polite and helpful, always happy to go that extra mile.

Rocha Brava apartments are located in a great position, near to the local fishing town Carvoeiro. We went at the beginning of September and the weather was perfect. On arrival we were given a free up-grade to a 2 bed apartment with a garden view which was a lovely surprise. The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. The resort... More

We arrived at 21.30 and the receptionist was very welcoming she arranged for the mini bus to take us to the appartment which turned out to be 2 bedroom with lounge and kitchen which had evrything you needed.There was...

We found it an excellent choice with very friendly and helpful staff..nothing was too much trouble for anyone. The main swimming pool is great although a little chilly...and around it was very clean with nice gardens. The bars and restaurants are... More
