Charm between sea and mountains

In the Heart of Laroque-des-Alberes It was a very special time for us to be in Philippe’s rental in Laroque-des-Alberes for five plus weeks this winter. The house is one of the most spacious and comfortable we’ve rented during our decades of travel. Especially nice is the sunlight that brightens every room. Though there were only two of us, the house would easily accommodate 4-6. It has everything in the ways of need and convenience: kitchen supplies along with a good selection of staples, washing machine, great shower, and reliable internet. On each of the two floors are two patios as well, one when you need shade and the other to bask in the sun. The house is wonderfully located in the heart of the town, and for convenience a boulangerie/patisserie, a small grocery with an excellent selection of cheeses, and a butcher are a very short walk away. There are also several restaurants close by.The history and culture of the area are rich and deep from the many, many beautiful Romanesque and medieval chapels, abbeys, churches to the modern artists who worked in Seret, Collioure, and Banyuls-sur-Mer. And the stunning varied landscape of the region is a walker/ hiker’s delight with exceedingly well-signed trails along the sea coast and in the hills, mountains, and valleys.All of this coupled with the kindness and thoughtfulness of Philippe made our stay a full and filling one of pure pleasure.

What a great house! Very nice house, well equipped and warm in wintertime. Situated in the mid of the village. Philippe is a sypathic and fast respondive owner. We will be back definitely.

Philippe est un hôte attentionné. Il prend le temps de venir nous accueillir et nous faire visiter la maison, qui est très spacieuse et confortable. Tout près des plages, du sentier du littoral et de sentiers de randonnées dans la montagne , l’emplacement est aussi près de petits pubs et cafés. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
