Villa with pool and breathtaking sea and mountain views in a peaceful location

Casa Vostra is an air-conditioned hillside villa accommodating up to ten people, offering tranquillity and stunning views of the sea and mountains. The house has fast, fibre-based Wi-Fi and a lovely private pool (available from June to September) integrated into a wooden sun deck. In addition, there is access to a larger pool and a tennis court within the domain. Bedding and towels for indoor use are included.

On the main level of the villa, there are two double bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, as well as a spacious kitchen and dining room, a living room with a large TV, and a large bathroom with two toilets, one with a separate entrance. On the upper floor, there are two more double bedrooms.

The villa is just a short drive up from Laroque-des-Albères, which sits above the Côte Vermeille in the foothills of the eastern Pyrenees. It’s a delightful village, with winding streets leading to a tower offering spectacular views of the Mediterranean coast, and it boasts an impressive range of cafés and restaurants. Above the village and just outside the villa, there is access to hiking trails in the beautiful Massif des Albères.

Amazing mountain adventure

Incredible mountain views, lovely house, well equipped with a fab pool, we had a great holiday at Casa Vostra. Be prepared for a climb but the views are worth it, we stayed with our three children aged 11, 8 and 4 and they were in heaven in the pool, the balcony was wonderful for evening drinks and the lower area with table/plancha was magical for dinner- the views were breath taking. Air conditioning in bedrooms was a blessing during a very hot spell. The shared pool in the Domaine was fun too for a more active swim and Laroque des Alberes itself was very picturesque with restaurants and cafes, allbeit too far for an evening walk. We ran and cycled from the house and there are fire roads which give variety as long as you're prepared for the inevitable climb! It's a very quiet spot, private and tranquil, we were very aware of our own noise (!) but neighbours were friendly. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, a unique experience for our family.

Amazing Villa with stunning views

We had a great stay at the Villa. The views are absolutely stunning and the Villa is spacious and comfortable with great cooking facilities. We enjoyed cooking and eating on the terrace every evening. The new pool is lovely. The surrounding area is beautiful including the nearby town of Laroque des Alberes. You do need a car though as shops and beaches are all a drive away.

Came back to Casa Vostra after a great stay in Oct

In october we climbed the magnificent Mount Canigou one day and hiked some of the well-marked trails in Massif des Albères the other days. Absolutely great with clear skies and sunny weather it was also perfect to swim in the rather warm sea a couple of times. This time we hiked the trails along the shore of Cote Vermeille. This is some of the most beautiful sceneries I have seen. The hike is rather easy, and you come through picturesque villages such as Collioure, Port Vendres and Argeles sur Mer. We once again enjoyed our stay in the Casa Vostra very much indeed.

We hiked, and were certainly not disappointed! Wi climbed the magnificent Mount Canigou one day and hiked some of the well-marked trails in Massif des Albères the other days. Absolutely great with clear skies and sunny weather. It was also perfect to swim in the rather warm sea a couple of times. The house has all you need for a great stay and most amazing views to the mountain and the sea. Will definitely go again!

Very Nice view. Quiet and beautiful surroundings.

Plenty of space. Very nice to have our own pool in addition to the bigger pool and tennis court available down the road. A bit of driving to get down to the village but once there it is intimate with nice places to eat. The owner is very helpful and responds quickly. Good value for the money.

Excellent stay

We had an excellent time at Casa Vostra. We were two families (four adults, four children). The house was clean, well equipped, enough space for two families. The air con units in the bedrooms were new, running quietly without any problems. We enjoyed everything … perfect view looking west in the afternoon down to the sea and to the mountains, nice pool area to relax and cool off, eating outside in the evenings. We also used the pool area and the tennis court in the domaine. The area “French Catalonia” is probably the nicest region we have seen in the past years if you wish to be at the Mediterranean Sea. We visited several places and beaches in the area and really enjoyed the region. We also thank Anders Rosenbeck for the very friendly contact and uncomplicated help throughout the booking process and the stay at Casa Vostra.

Overall I really nice, big and friendly

I had the most fabulous vacation in this nice mountains residence. Both interior and exterior everything met my expectations. The mountains added an experience of greatness and roughness. The many hiking route are available right outside the front gate and therefore easy to access. The mighty view added a majestic touch to the experience. Too cold to use the pool

A great view

We stayed at the villa for two weeks with 6 adults and 4 young children and we had a great time. The weather was amazingly hot and the pool was perfect for cooling down. The villa is well furnished and you have all the items required for self catering. The local village has a small supermarket, butcher and baker plus a couple of very good restaurant's. You need to keep on eye on the children around the pool and on the veranda, but this is normal + backing a car down the drive is an interesting experience. The view from the veranda is stunning and sitting in the evening with a glass of wine and a few nibbles is a very worthwhile experinence. We would definitly rent again here.

Great stay, wonderful house with an amazing view

We had two wonderful weeks in this exceptionally beautiful house and particularly enjoyed the wonderful view, the peacefulness of its location, the balcony and the pool. The house is big, spacious, with enough room for everybody and always a shadowy place if needed. We found everything very well equipped and loved the interior design particularly of the kitchen and living/dining area. We found everything as described, in very good condition, clean and well-maintained, and the owners easy to commmunicate with and very helpful. Laroque is a very charming village with some nice restaurants, perfectly located between sea and mountains, so beaches as well as hiking/rafting opportunities or the cathar castles, monasteries etc. are all easily accessible. Overall, we would certainly recommend this villa and hope to come back ourselves soon.

peace and quiet and an amazing view

We have just come back from our third stay at Casa Vostra and it is as lovely as ever. We don't normally stay in the same place twice but this house is too nice not to return. We especially love the pool, the balcony and the amazing views and it is a great place to relax. It feels very peaceful even in the height of summer and we like being at the top of the domaine where there are not too many houses and there is usually a cool breeze. Laroque is a pretty village with good places to eat and a nice atmosphere and the surrounding area is beautiful. The house is exactly as described, there is plenty of space and everything is clean and works well - including the wifi and air conditioning. We stayed with four teenagers and three adults. The house is very well set up for a big family with lots of different spaces so you can always find somewhere quiet but there is also plenty of room for a big group to be together. We used the tennis court and big pool a lot and found they were never very busy. The owner is very helpful and easy to communicate with and I am sure we will come back.

Wonderful stay at Casa Vostra!

We had a wonderful week at Casa Vostra. The property is exactly as advertised and spacious enough for our group of 3 families. We really enjoyed having the pool and the beautiful terraces to view the valley and ocean. The house was clean and well maintained. We particularly appreciated the full compliment of kitchen utensils, dishes and sharp knives for our group, so we didn't have to spend all of our time washing dishes. Overall, we had a fabulous stay. The road to the house and the driveway are not for the faint of heart or those with larger vehicles. We did find parking on the road for those that didn't get their cars in the drive. The house is also outside of the the cute town of Laroque des Alberes, which isn't really within walking distance. Certainly, one doesn't walk down for breakfast or a visit to the pub. Thus, you really need to make sure you have what you need before climbing the mountain to the house. These minor details are really just that...minor. Anders was great and easy to reach by email. The exchange between Canadian and European banking systems was complicated, but worked. Overall, I would recommend this property for anyone who wanted a quiet villa vacation in a beautiful setting.

Relaxing holidays with a great view

Our Family very much enjoyed our vacation here. The house is great, clean and well kept. The pool was great for the children who usually went there after breakfast and again after we hit the beach. The view from the house is exceptional and makes the stay at the house something special. Event the Kids were impressed how far you could see. The location of the house between the mountains and the sea was another great attraction as we did both - hiking and going to the beach. We loved our two weeks here and we would like to return if it works out timewise. Thanks very much!

summer holiday with nice view

house with a beautiful view, good beds. We have some problems but the owner did all he can do to solve it. Thanks for the good service!! Tip: the chairs at the balcony look great but are not very relaxed. Maybe a small loungeset and it's the best place to enjoy!!

Lovely vacation with an amazing view

We had a wonderful week at Casa Vostra, which was actually too short. The location of the villa was beautiful and high enough in the "mountains" for a spectacular view during the day but also during the evening/night. The villa is maintained properly and surely big enough for 7+ people (adults). The villa is also very suitable for families with children. The swimming pool is also big enough for everyone to relax or have a bit of fun, since there are also swimming pool toys in the shed. It is a really nice place to come to and just relax and enjoy the nice weather. Also even though the villa is located in the mountain area, the beach Argeles-sur-Mer was only a 15-20 min drive away. The boulevard at the beach was a fun place to go to and the food at the restaurants was pretty good as well.

Spacious and peaceful with stunning views.

Domaine des Alberes is a particularly picturesque site .Properties are well spaced so that privacy and peace is maintained. The villa is comfortable and quite well equipped, with enough room for 8 of us to have our own space, but also be together. The small pool is great for relaxing and cooling off- as the main pool is definitely a drive away! This is ideal for families. We enjoyed the tennis and table tennis on site. Port Vendres beach is great for swimming snorkelling and paddle boarding.( and wine tasting!) Lots of places to eat out, Le Catalan in Laroque des Alberes provides a delicious meal, at very reasonable prices, although service can be slow. Probably best to eat early. Love this area of France.

Great base to explore this lovely coastal area

We had two fabulous weeks at Casa Vostra, which was a perfect base to explore the local area and is great for families. The views from the balcony were stunning and provided the perfect place to sit and have a relaxed dinner and drinks. The pool area had sun nearly all day and was nicely secluded. The local village of Laroque des Alberes is five minutes away by car and is a very laid back and a good local place for dinner, with several good restaurants. The owner is very helpful and provided some good advice on local activities and events. We will very likely look to return in future years.

Great house with spectacular views

We loved the spectacular views and the quietness of the place. It is the ideal location for walkingt-in the Alberes, with paths starting very nearby. The house is tastefully decorated, clean and well maintained, it feels like a home. It is practical and perfect for two families or with friends. The swimming is very agreable and it's worth talking to the man who comes to look after the pool because he can give you very local tips!

Nice stay for two pensioners in early June

We have enjoyed a week in Casa Vostra in early June. The weather was very fine with sun, no wind and only a small rain shower one morning. The house is very well decorated and with many bedrooms and baths. However, even though we were only two, we did not disappeared in the house. We enjoyed the view to the west over the nearest town Laroque and the Mediterranean Sea. There were excellent opportunities for shopping in the town of Laroque. We were also shopping on the local market on Wednesday. We were visiting a few nice and the charming town of Collioure. The greatest experience was to hike down to Laroque and back following the mountain path. It was a little hard for pensioners but the trip was worth it. All in all a wonderful week. We had a nice time and there were no problems of any kind in this lovely house.

Beautiful villa with an amazing view

We have stayed in this villa twice, last August and this year in late May. We loved it both times. The villa is very well designed and makes the most of the stunning views of the mountains and down to the sea. The long terrace on the main floor is particularly lovely as is the pool area but there are several different areas to sit outside and a choice of sun or shade at most times of day. Inside the villa is clean, spacious and well furnished and equipped. We visited with our three teenage sons but there is easily room for two families with plenty of privacy and the separate studio is good. The air conditioning and wifi work well and the villa is well maintained - it had been newly painted when we arrived this year. It stays quite cool even in August and is at the top of the domiane so is very quiet and peaceful even in the height of summer. The private pool is great for cooling down and we also used the tennis court and big pool a lot. These were not crowded in August and in May we had them almost to ourselves. The owner is very helpful and has a website with lots of information on the area etc. Laroque and the surrounding area are beautiful with lots to do, although it is also very easy to do nothing here as it is so relaxing. I hope we will visit again and would definitely recommend this house.

La maison est idéalement placée avec la mer à 20 minutes et des départs de randonnées au pied de la maison!Quand nous sommes arrivés la maison était glacialemais ensuite cela s'est réchauffé grâce aux radiateurs!Cependant, certains équipement sont vétustes et mériteraient d'être renouvelés (bouilloire, couettes et oreillers, aspirateur...)

About the host

Hosted by Anders Rosenbeck

Host profile image
I live in the Copenhagen area in Denmark with my family. I have an engineering background and my wife is a schoolteacher. Since I was a child, I have been visiting most regions in France and I was living in Nancy for half a year during my studies.

Why they chose this property

In 2005 my wife and I started thinking about buying a house in South of France. When we first visited the Pyrénées-Orientales department, we fell in love with the relaxed French Catalan atmosphere, the sunny climate and the Pyrenees linking with the Mediterranean Sea.

What makes this property unique

Casa Vostra offers space, peace & quiet and magnificent views. The private pool is great for cooling off and there is also access to a larger pool and a tennis court in the domain. Further, the villa has direct access to beautiful mountain tracks, yet it is still close to so many charming villages, great restaurants, and amazing beaches.
