Information
Rocha Brava
Rocha Brava was developed in 1983 by a well known British company: Trafalgar House plc and stands on nearly 9 hectares of beautiful communal gardens.
There are 410 units:
378 are apartments, town houses and linked villas. Additionally, there are also 32 detached villas with their own private swimming pools and gardens.
As well as buying an apartment or villa outright, there are many properties available as a ‘quarter share’ which is a scheme where there are four owners.
The friendly staff on the main Reception are always there to help and have a fountain of knowledge of the surrounding area.
