Laroque des Albères is a Catalan village located halfway between the sea and the mountain on the road to Spain.
We welcome you all year to discover a region full of riches and a climate of the Mediterranean type near the coast changing in mountain climate with altitude.
Located at the foot of the Albères massif, the chain of Catalan Pyrenees ends in the Mediterranean. Laroque des Albères benefits from the greenery and the water which gives it its position on the North Piedmont of this chain.
It is at the same time close to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and tourist resorts that are Argelès-sur-Mer and Collioure which it is separated by only ten kilometers.
May the spring be beautiful in Languedoc Roussillon.
Nature awakes, fruit trees adorn themselves with a thousand flowers, perfumes spread in the air carried by the breeze.
At Laroque des Albères, one can admire every day the Canigou, iconic and sacred mountain of Catalonia that changes colors at every moment of the day and the seasons.
Wearing a white coat in winter, the Canigou will not leave until late spring.
It can be admired at every detour, a path or a hiking trail, we feel his presence caring and reassuring. It fascinates you, captivates you, attracts you.
This Catalan jewel is discovered through various activities such as hiking, carriage rides and mountain biking.
Quiet happiness of a hike to Canigou or a family walk ...

late September holiday
LAROQUE DES ALBERES is a wonderful village with steep winding streets, lots of very good bars and cafes. There's also a convenience store, a good boulangerie and a small local market on Wednesday mornings. Parking is often scarce and makes it difficult carrying bags etc up a steep path to access the property. The property itself we found a bit dark and the outside seating area small without any view. The layout is somewhat quirky , there are 2 showers but one is accessed outside the house. The interior (separate ) toilet in particular necessitates a bit of manoeuvring. the kitchen is very well equipped, however it was annoying to discover there were no laundry or dishwasher tablets/liquid. When flying and hiring a car one is not able to bring such things. Martine did an excellent job in meeting and greeting, providing us with a lot of useful information. Never the less we enjoyed our holiday as the weather was good and the area is a wonderful combination of mountains and seaside. l

Lovely village with good restaurants
I have already written a review but it obviously didn’t send! We had a lovely time in Laroque. The situation of the property was lovely with views towards the mountains. I would give the property three and a half stars. The outside area was pleasant but with a rather dirty and old looking cover roped over the top of it. The kitchen facilities were very good although we had to buy dish washing materials. Also it would be good to have a little washing liquid available for the washing machine. There were 3 dish washing tablets - left over by a previous resident - which we used. We noticed that bits of paint were falling off the lounge walls. We cleaned them up several times. The toilet facility in the bedroom area was a bit quirky and awkward and the shower room could be smartened up a bit. I was wakened on the Monday of our stay during a thunder storm with water dripping on to the floor above. I got up to investigate and found that the water was coming down from a beam. I put a pan underneath to catch the water and informed Martine. As indicated previously we really enjoyed our holiday in Laroque and we may return in the future. Martine was very helpful as was her husband. None of the above comments spoiled our stay.

Really nice and Martine and Jacques were great
Laroque is such a beautiful setting and great for visits locally. The house is beautiful and very well equipped.Just a suggestion as we flew and hired a rental car so our baggage was minimal. Prehaps providing guests with beach towels or even options to hire them?? Would recommend this property

Séjour très correct
Petite maison de village typique, propre et pratique. La literie de la chambre parentale était un peu juste pour les grands que nous sommes (1m80 pour moi et 1m95 pour mon mari) et le sofa du salon un peu désuet mais dans l’ensemble nous sommes satisfaits. La présence d’une machine à lessiver et d’un lave vaisselle est très appréciable.

Nice cozy house in wonderful little village
We spent two weeks in this wonderful house in the center of Laroque-des-Albères. The house is well equipped, very cozy and offers enough room for a family of five. The perfect pick for everyone who loves special houses, out of the ordinary. Martine, the neighbour, took care of us and was always available for any questions we had, which was extremely helpful. Laroque is a wonderful little village with a very unique charme, you will find everything you need. We had a wonderful time, but didn't have enough days to do everything there is to do in the region, so we will come back next year.
