This stunning Catalan villa is set in the beautiful Alberes Pyrenean foothills.
These are the foothills of the Pyrenees that meet the Mediterranean. It has magnificent views across the Alberes, a private (8.5m x 4m) pool and is set in 5 acres of wooded hillside. The villa has 4 bedrooms across two floors and is positioned in Domaine des Alberes which sits above the picturesque Catalan town of Laroque des Alberes.
This is a beautiful medieval Catalan town that is famous in the area for being having a fantastic setting and very good quality restaurants, cafes and shops.
The property has a spacious high beamed living room with a large fireplace complete with wood burning stove. It has a private pool, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, barbecue terrace, access to a tennis court, a large balcony with unbelievable views and very comfortable living areas.
This property is very peaceful as it is the highest property in the Alberes and therefore has no passing traffic at all. Very relaxing but at the same time you can be on one of the best beaches in France in 15 minutes.
This is the kind of villa for those who want some peace and quiet, as it is situated in a stunning mountainous forest location, but still want to have access to all the beaches and the many lovely towns and villages of the region.

About the host
Hosted by Oliver Ripley
I lived in France for many years in my youth and grew to love the interesting, varied and beautiful country.
Have been running this property for 7 years now and have really developed efficient systems for ensuring guests have a great holiday and enjoy all the benefits of the Languedoc region
Why they chose this property
The key to this property is the sheer beauty of the location. It sits in the Alberes and is quite high up into these small mountains. The views seem to follow you around as they are present in so many areas of the villa.
There is a lovely private pool with the villa with the aforementioned views and the villa has a total of six comfortable bedrooms and is really perfect for large groups wishing to explore and enjoy this wonderful region of France. It has castles, beaches, endless vineyards, medieval villages, Barcelona and some of the best restaurants in France. You will never be bored in Languedoc.
What makes this property unique
It has 5 bedrooms and a private pool which is not overlooked in any way.
The villa has 3 bathrooms and on the lower floor there is a annexed apartment with it private kitchen, bathroom and living areas with Sky TV and so on.
There is a lovely balcony at the property with stunning views and a barbecue area on the rear terrace with lovely views down to the Mediterranean in the distance.
As the property is quite high it is also cooler in the summer months and seem to escape that oppressive summer heat you get on the plain of Rousillon. During the evening you get the 'tramontanes' as the cooler wind from the mountain tops rolls down the mountain side and these can be very refreshing after a hit day at the beach.
All in all this is a lovely, well managed property in a very interesting and beautiful area of France.
