Our Catalan villa situated in a very quiet location on the outskirt of the historic village of Laroque des Alberes with south facing views onto the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Behind electric gates, the villa is on a large secure plot – fencing and hedging surrounds us - with no immediate neighbours so guaranteeing privacy and tranquillity, this 175m2 three bedroom, three bathroom villa has been redeveloped and features central heating/air conditioning system throughout the house, modern and well equipped kitchen – oven, induction hob, microwave, large fridge freezer, kettle, toaster and, most importantly, dishwasher - modern shower rooms and bathrooms, utility room with washer/drier, ironing board and iron, WiFi Internet, flat screen TV, docking station for music. The lounge/dining room have French doors leading to the south facing veranda with outside seating for al-fresco eating; vast paved sunbathing space, with relaxing sun loungers around a large heated (chargeable in early and late season) pool - maintained weekly between late May and end of September - and a pergola with charcoal BBQ, it is the perfect escape in rural France.
We also provide a travel cot and high chair for our very young guests. Our winter guests will enjoy central heating, electric towel rails in the bathrooms and a wood burning stove in the living room.
The master suite is upstairs and features a Super King Size bed and a balcony with uninterrupted views of the Pyrenees, a private shower room – enclosed quadrant shower, wc and basin - and another room which we use as a dressing room offering therefore, plenty of storage.
The twin bedroom is on the ground floor and is fully ensuite – with shower “a l’Italienne” (walk-in), wc and basin and the third bedroom is also a twin room located on the lower ground floor, also with walk-in shower, wc and basin. This studio bedroom also has a west facing private terrace. Please note that all bedroom windows have shutters.
Seemingly in the middle of nowhere and yet in the centre of so much, the medieval village of Laroque des Alberes with its narrow streets and it’s ancient Chateau is a 15 minute walk away from the property and offers all the amenities of a French village including bars, restaurants, assortment of small shops – mini market, baker, butcher, chemist, tabac, post office and a Tourist Office!
