Barrocal Holidays

Great place to stay, beautiful town, easy laundry facility and clean beautiful pool. Easy drive to other popular locations. Friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Highly recommend the Pestana Beach Villas. Staff were so friendly also. Great location.

This is a very unique property with a lovely hostess, Dolly. It’s small and intimate with only room for 5 families. The view from the terrace is spectacular and the beach is convenient. The rooms are very clean, large and comfortable. You can tell that Dolly takes pride in providing a good experience for guests. She cares!! There are however a lot of protocols which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Every guest has 2 lounge chairs with cushions, 2 chairs without cushions and a large umbrella for shade, which is very necessary. However, cushions are picked up at 7pm but it’s light until close to 9pm. We wanted to sit outside much longer but the wooden lounge & chairs were not comfortable for me without the cushions. We ended up going back to our room earlier than we wanted where the most comfortable place to sit was the bed. Also, you had to order your breakfast a day in advance including the time you wanted to eat. We found this a bit difficult as we sometimes want to sleep in or not. It would have been easier to have a window of time where you could get up when you wanted. I would have liked to use the pool but it was too cold for me, although my husband enjoyed it. I don’t think it was heated other than by the sun, but that is me and might not be an issue for others. All in all, this is a very nice place and offers a less crowded experience than the hotels in a super busy tourist area. I would recommend it for that and the very personal attention from Dolly.

Although building work was been carried out Was only notified after booking Hotel and staff went out there way to accommodate
