Charm Between the Sea and the Mountains

Great welcome and suggestions for where to visit. Wifi very good for working from the house. Location was the biggest plus - we were very central in the village. Had to park our car about 200m away but unloading was ok at the house.Super area for our 3 week stay

Great house in a beautiful, quaint location. Right across the street from the wine bar, a 2mn walk from the bakery, butcher, grocer... and quite a few restaurants. 20 mn from the beach. Lots of trails into the mountains. Philippe, the owner is very nice , this is our second time in one of his properties. Highly recommended.PS. The wine bar can get a little loud in the evening, just people laughing and the music in the background. Not a problem for us, but it could be for some.

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.

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 was incredibly helpful on arrival and the house was just as described with everything you could possibly need. We particularly enjoyed the balconies. The village has a fantastic selection of bars and restaurants - we sampled many of them and we found every meal to be excellent. The coastline is beautiful and we wish that we’d had more time to explore. We hope to return again soon to see more.

situation idéale pour découvrir cette région ;La maison de bourg est parfaite ( nous étions 6 adultes ) et la literie est très confortable ;excellent accueil de Philippe le propriétaire; nous recommandons vivement cette location .

Charmante maison de village rénovée, propre, bien équipée, bonne literie, belle déco. Il ne manque rien Seul bémol : il manque un petit lavabo dans la douche de la suite parentale

Au coeur d'un village des Albères, vivant, convivial mais à l'écart des grands centres touristiques, c'est une maison très confortable qui a gardé le charme du passé. Les propriétaires des lieux sont très accueillants. Les Pyrénées méditerranéennes sont magnifiques, de Collioure au Canigou !

Une belle maison de village avec deux terrasses, à deux pas des commerces et des restaurants, à 5 mn des départs de randonnées dans les magnifiques Albères. Le village est superbe et vivant. Banyuls à 20mn. Notre hôte a été très accueillant. Nous reviendrons.

Très bon séjour chez Philippe à Laroque les Arbères. Le logement est spacieux et agréable avec les commerces à proximité, le propriétaire est disponible, très bon contact. Le village est animé, nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
