Laroque des Alberes holiday villa

This villa in Laroque fitted all the criteria required when I was looking for a villa near to the coast in the South of France - own pool, three double bedrooms, large living area, locating within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Our party consisted of 2 couples and one five year old. Booking the villa was simple, having direct contact with the owners. One couple and the five year old took the upstairs bedrooms, whilst the other couple took the downstairs bedroom with en-suite. You never know exactly what you are going to get when you book online, but we got more than we expected. Firstly the directions that we were provided with were first class so finding the place after a very early morning flight was simple. The property was very clean on arrival and evidently is well maintained. The villa is huge with a fantastic utility / washing area where we washed costumes and towels etc. The dishwasher meant we were spoilt and had more time to relax by the pool!! The pool was an added bonus and a winner with everyone! Little touches like books, dvds, games were much appreciated and made the accommodation feel very homely. The views of the mountains and the local area from all windows were amazing. Laroque village itself was a 5 minute walk away with some lovely little restaurants, patisseries etc. and the nearest supermarket was only a 5 minute drive just outside Laroque. Cafe D'artiste in the village offers very simple yet French cuisine and is very welcoming, owned by an English couple. The food was tasty and the wine was lovely!! Would recommend anyone looking for a relaxing break in the South of France to definitely give this villa a try!
