Rocha Brava holiday apartment

Travel: The development is 45 minutes drive from Faro airport. A hire car is not essential, but will enable guests to visit many of the more secluded beaches and villages nearby. A taxi from the airport will cost about £35. From Lisbon, Carvoeiro is about 4 hours drive. For those who do not wish to drive while on holiday, there are frequent buses and cheap taxis into the town from Rocha Brava, and courtesy coaches to the water-slide park (Slide and Splash) which is just the other side of the town.

Rocha Brava Complex: Rocha Brava is a beautiful villa complex set in lovely grounds on the clifftops near Carvoeiro. Among its facilities are a 24-hour reception office, and a small supermarket. For eating and drinking there is a bar/cafe with an Internet cafe upstairs, a restaurant, and a pool side bar. For fun there is the four court tennis centre with a resident professional for coaching sessions, and an adjoining gym. There is also a holistic healing centre for a well-earned massage after the exercise! For children, there is a playground and an indoor childrens room with table tennis, and organised kids activities in summer. There are three main pools (one of them with a waterfall) and all with paddling pools, open to all guests.

Nearby attractions: Carvoeiro has very many bars and restaurants, with varying styles and prices, but all are good value. You can take a boat trip from the town beach to see the nearby caves. There are two water slide parks within a short drive, and a marine theme park (Zoomarine) about 30 minutes away where you can swim with dolphins! 'Krazyworld' is a fun day out for the family, a short distance inland. Silves is a historical walled town just 15 kms inland, and the fishing port of Portimao is about 20 minutes drive along the coast westwards. This town has many larger shops. Algarve Shopping is a large shopping mall with many beautiful shops on the main road from Faro.

Golf: Vale do Milho, a 9 hole par 3 course, is within walking distance. Two 18 hole courses - Vale de Pinta and Gramacho - are at Carvoeiro (5 kms). 40 percent discount on green fees at Vilar do Golf, 20 minutes away. Championship courses are available at Penina (25 minutes) and Quinta de Lago (30 minutes). Many courses are within 30 - 40 minutes drive.
