Fantastic views across the marshes
Lovely friendly staff and set in a real Portuguese village. Stayed in a two room superior apartment which has all normal amenities including a bath and a dishwasher. Fantastic views from the balcony across the marshes to the sea. You need a car or be fit enough to walk the mile to Armacao de Pera if you want to go to a touristy area but no real problem. We used the local bus service but there are local taxi services. This was our sixth visit so we definitely like it

Pleasantly surprised to see the villas on arrival. Easily accessible and clean. The area around the pool is spacious and there is a restaurant/bar by the pool. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Good value
Good value for money, good location. Only real issue is if you have noisy neighbours, the apartments are not very well sound proofed. Not clear how the cleaning works and quite irregular. There is a safe in the room, but you have to pay extra at reception. Nice pool area, friendly staff.

Great apartments some more dated than others. Had everything you needed including all kitchen appliances, iron, clothes line, garden furniture etc. Exceptionally clean and staff in pool bar very friendly. Pool very nice, a bit cold at first. Good value but need a car as in a very quiet location if you want more restaurants and bars.

This is the third time we have stayed here - we love it. It's quiet and out of the way - the apartments are scrupulously clean, lots of parking, a short drive to shops and the beach - it ticks all our boxes for a relaxing break.

Quiet relaxation.
Very happy with our 3 night stay here. Reception very friendly and helpful. 1 bed ground floor apartment was well equipped and clean but slightly dated, cannot complain for the price. It was very quiet when we stayed so there was lots space around the pool area. Beach is around 35 minute walk, well worth it. Lots of free parking at the beaches if driving. Local shops have the essentials and there is an Aldi around 25 minute walk away for anything else. Couldn’t ask for more, very relaxing break, would definitely go again.

This is our second stay at Villas Barrocal - the property is in a good location for accessing the beaches of the Algarve and Albufeira is close by. The pool area and pool bar are lovely.. the staff are very helpful and the drinks are reasonably priced. Two main negatives; you only get fresh towels twice a week and the television in the lounge was tiny on this occasion. Will most likely stay again in the future.

Beautiful, clean, modern apartment in resort
I stayed in two units at this resort, and this is my experience for the first unit. The second was old, had bugs in it, and the cloth furniture didn't seem clean because it was so old. However, WE LOVED THIS PLACE. This unit was on the second floor and was airy and light, and everything seemed newly renovated and amazingly clean. There was a big balcony, full kitchen that we loved using, and a big nice bathroom. The bed was incredibly comfortable and new. Very modern all around. The staff was excellent, pool and common areas looked fabulous, and the security and parking spot were great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone, as long as you request a new unit, preferably off the ground level.

Great resort in general, stayed in a bad unit
We stayed in two apartments at this resort, and this is a review for our experience at the second one we stayed at (the first was AMAZING new and renovated, so clean and comfortable). The apartment was on the ground level, which led to many bugs being in the unit. We killed about 10 mosquitos, and there were always more. Also a spider. This bed was uncomfortable (the other unit's was so comfy) - felt like sleeping on tin cans. The furniture was old and everything had cloth on it so it all seemed kind of gross. However, there is a beautiful pool on the property, staff is great, there's a bar/cafe, and the security was top notch.

Great value
As we were arriving late after reception was closed we had to arrange to collect keys. Communication by email and phone was prompt, clear a;d very helpful. The accommodation is in a small quite village only a few km from the main town with beach and wide range of shops and restaurants. You will need a car. The property itself was very clean - some might say basic and dated but for the price we paid I certainly have no complaints. The pool area was also clean, with plenty of space, even at the height of summer. Pool was very refreshing. There is a small restaurant next to the pool which serves food and drink all day, from breakfast to dinner. Finally, very conveniently, there is a small supermarket right next door to the property which stocks all the basics - with a larger Aldi supermarket a short 5 minute drive away. Overall, very happy with the stay - would recommend and even go back again.

Perfect stay
1 bedroom apartment was amazing. Spacious, spotless, well equipped, bed was very comfortable, new mattress. Very quiet, non main touristic area. Free parking in resort. The staff were friendly and professional. Nearby is good local cafe and in Armacao de Pera (2 km away) is the best all you can eat fish restaurant Zé Leiteiro. The only bad is, that we could not stay for more than 2 nights for time reasons.

Lovely apartment setting surrounding a pool . In a quiet village 10 minutes from glorious sandy beach. You need a car to explore the area. Many fine restraunts within 15 min drive. Great for relaxing holiday. 15 minutes to Albufeira and 45 to Faro airport.

It was excellent value for money with a large kitchen and dining area. The room and beds were comfortable, if a little damp, although the apartment was not as modern as the one advertised in the brochure. We really enjoyed our stay and the pool area and facilities made our trip worthwhile. We would definitely come again.

Don't arrive late
First problem was my flight landed at 2320 and the 'hotel' check-in closed at 2200 with no provision to access accommodation later! In my case that meant a costly hotel near the airport for the first night. I was allocated a two bedroom ground floor apartment which had only one bathroom which was OK for me but for 4? Generally the place was well equipped but no potato peeler (self catering!). The bathroom lacked shelving on which to place toiletry items - I made do with a small unit located initially in the lounge area. Ladies might find the fixed hair dryer in bathroom awkward, but then that's where the only mirror was. The local town of Pera had little to see and do. Small bars/restaurants were nearby but for more choice and finer dining a short trip to the new larger town on the coast was needed. The beach a few kilometers away was massive and there are two wooden walkways over the dunes if you don't want to walk 400 metres in sand and shrubbery. If you are of a shy disposition then definitely use the walkways else you risk coming across naked sunbathers on the edge of the dunes.

Quiet and relaxing
Just back from another visit to this property. Our apartment was a first floor recently renovated property with one bedroom and a full bathroom. We also had our own parking space. The complex is gated and all visitors have to gain entry via the reception. Our apartment was fully equipped for our stay with a fully fitted kitchen including full oven and hob, microwave and dishwasher. There is also a separate laundry facility if needed. Our sunny balcony was massive and overlooked the pool area. WiFi was available and most times worked fine for checking emails, web browsing etc. The TV has English, German and Austrian channels as well as Portuguese. The apartment was cleaned alternate days and the level of cleanliness is excellent.

Excellent apartment with convenient location
We had a very nice 2 bed apartment 20 yards from the lovely communal pool. We were very happy with the accommodation. The town of Pera was just what we wanted, not commercial but close to the action of Armacao etc. For a late June break the area was very quiet. We hired a car and enjoyed several day trips out and about, Pera is very well placed to explore the Algarve and is just 40mins from Faro. Overall, we loved our time and cannot recommend the site enough. We will be back!

Anniversary Holiday
The location like everyone else said is a teeney bit awkward taxi prices: Zoomarine-€7-€10 Albufeira €17-€20 Fiesa is walking distance Slide n Splash €17-€25 Nearest beach €8-€10 Anyway the hotel itself was wonderful the staff especially the woman at reception were outstanding and extremely helpful. Were there constantly to answer all my silly questions. The pool was fine 1.5m deep so not too bad. Games room was okay not the greatest but it'll suffice. The Room was humongous me and my girlfriend had a whole extra room to ourselves. Slept in a different bed each night. The area was peacefu seemed like couples and families we were probably the youngest people around. There's a massage parlour around the corner also. There's also a shopping centre called algarve not too far away about €12-€15. Shops included zara berksha H&M McDonald's burger King kfc. So alot of home comforts plus their own shops. Really enjoyed the stay so much credit to the staff.
