Guest comments
'Brill. Having stayed further out we found ourselves coming into Laroque every evening. This year will be our 3rd visit'
'Fantastic location. So quiet even in the peak season'
Superb pool and facilities. The kids loved it. It was difficult to get them out of the water. The shaded canopy offers a rest from the heat of the mid summer sun. Brilliant large BBQ'

About the owner
We are a professional couple who have run our own successful business for more than 25 years in Cheshire, south of Manchester. We have 1 daughter and a lovely cocker spaniel.
We discovered the Languedoc Rousillion area of France in the mid 1980's, when we purchased our 1st property -the Collioure apartment (FR6011).
In the late 90's we bought our house in Laroque Des Alberes (FR5984), in a somewhat "tatty" condition. It was purposely built as two self contained apartments on the ground and first floor. The French owner had simply rented them out and done nothing to either apartment or the garden since the day it was built.
But, we could see the potential. So we renovated the 1st floor apt first. Built a swimming pool & sun terrace. Then renovated downstairs for our private use.
Year purchased: 1998
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Already owning a smaller apartment in Collioure (FR6011) we wanted a larger inland property with a pool in this fantastic area. The beauty of Laroque (FR5984) is that its only 10 mins from the beaches of Collioure, Argeles & St Cyprian but you are located in the foothills of the Pyrenees with fabulous mountains views behind & a sea view to the front.
It's also extremely quiet in the bustling summer season. 5 minute walk to the the village which oozes character with its small streets, lovely stone properties & the "tour" at the top of the old town.
There is a small selection of good quality, interesting restaurants, cafes and bars. The village also provides a pizza take away, TWO bread shops, Dr, dentist, pharmacist, hairdressers, library, play park, mini market and weekly market.
Unique benefits of the property
Superb location. Quiet residential area. 800 metres to the village by road or through the allotments & over the river. Tranquil is a great description for Laroque.
Our rooftop terrace (with access straight off the lounge) offers staggering views of the "Alberes" mountains. How idyllic to sip a glass of local wine watching the moon glide over the mountains with your favourite CD playing softly in the background.
The bathroom has a breathtaking view of Mt Canigou especially between Oct & May when the peak is snow covered.
The tiled pool area is totally private with lovely gardens and a palm tree. 9m x 4m pool with a large surrounding sun terrace. Comfortable sun loungers, shaded canopy for eating or reading. BBQ next to canopy so the men don't feel left out! CDs, Videos & books.
