Laroque des Alberes is a traditional Catalan village 10km from the sea at the foot of the Alberes hills. The historic centre of the village, containing an old fort and church, is a picturesque short walk away. Laroque has village shops - a small supermarket, tabac, bakeries, butcher, chemist - several bars and restaurants, a pizza takeaway, a small weekly market and a helpful tourist office. A larger supermarket is a few minutes drive away

Ideal for families to relax by the pool, or take a short (10min) drive to the sandy Mediterranean beaches. For hikers and walkers the Alberes hills are on the doorstep

The kitchen has been newly refitted and has oven, microwave, electric hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and cupboard space. Between the kitchen and the dining area is a granite breakfast bar, with additional bar-stool seating

The lounge has comfortable sofas and arm chairs, television and DVD player. For winter there is a cosy log burning stove

Grapes thrive in this climate too and the famous Banyuls, Minervois and Cotes du Roussillon wines are produced locally and are widely available from the local vineyards covering the countryside

The area is rich in history with many medieval Cathar and crusader castles to visit. Particularly spectacular is the restored citadel of Carcassonne, a UNESCO world heritage site
