The Gîte
At a heart of a closed and landscaped garden of 3000 m2, with a fantastic view on the Albères massif and Canigou mountains, this beautiful villa designed by an architect benefits from a magnificent luminosity thanks to its orientation facing south.
The garden
The park, leaned in the massif of Les Albères benefits from a magnificent view, inviting to rest. The mediterranean tree species in it (evergreen oaks, palm and olive trees, mimosas...) strengthen the quiet of places. The large (9 by 4 m) and private swimming pool, shared with the owners, will keep you cool during the summer.

The village
Laroque-des-Albères is a pleasant fortified village with the specific charm of old catalonians villages and rich cultural heritage. The village,accessible by foot, is often called the balcony of Catalonia and Vermillion coast because of its outstanding position on the spur of the Albères mountain range, far away from traffic and very near beaches (Collioure or Argelès-sur-Mer) and Spain (Cadaquès etc.).
Hiking and cycling
The Albères mountains is one of the most beautiful botanic and ecological reserve and the starting point of nices hiking trails (GR 10). Situated at an altitude of 1256 meters, the "Pic Neoulous", on top of the Albères, is overlooking Laroque-des-Albères.
