Appartement Mimosas - Laroque des Alberes

A newly available and spacious 2 Bedroom Apartment with a Private Pool.. This apartment is in a village setting 15 minutes from the Mediterranean & 30 minutes from the Spanish border or the beautiful city of Perpignan. It is located very close to the centre of Laroque des Alberes in the Pyrenees Orientales department of the former Languedoc Roussillon region now known as Occitanie. It is an open plan apartment with a well equipped kitchen, large dining table and lounge area. Outside there is a large pool terrace and exclusive use of the 7.6m x 3.8m pool.
Two french windows into the property from the terrace provide a private entrance for guests and can be opened up during the summer to allow easy access to the pool terrace for a bit of al fresco dining or to just relax by the pool.

Kitchen and dining : The kitchen is well equipped with all the usual facilities you would find at home. There is a gas hob, electric oven, a dishwasher and plenty of standard kitchen equipment such as microwave, kettle, toaster etc. The dining table is located in the kitchen and is an integral part of the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Weather permitting (which is most of the time) the living area can be extended out onto the substantial pool terrace.
We offer our guests pretty much everything they need to make their stay a home from home experience. So if you like to cook and entertain yourselves, you can do that in privacy knowing you have all the equipment you need to prepare a delicious meal.
Living rooms: The living room is also part of the open plan living area and comes with tv, dvd player, cd player and a comfortable sofa and chairs. There are also books and a small selection of cd's and dvd's to chose from. You are also welcome to bring your entertainment and you can connect to our wi-fi for internet access to the various services you normally enjoy. Assuming they are available in France.
Bedrooms
The master bedroom is set up as a double room, with a wardrobe and general storage space. The utility room is off the master bedroom for washing facilities and extra storage, but it can of course be closed off when access is not required.
The second bedroom is set up as a twin room, again with a wardrobe and general storage.
The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are well insulated to keep them cool in summer and warm in winter. There is also a hair dryer available for convenience and a cooling fan in each bedroom for those warm evenings.
Bathrooms
The bathroom is very luxurious and spacious, with a good sized bath, separate shower vanity cabinet and wc. It is modern and finished to a high standard.
There are options to allow you to chose how the bathroom is lit or you may even chose to simply light a couple of candles and really chill out in the tub.

Heating
The heating is all electric and can be turned on or off as required. There is one in each bedroom, a large towel dryer in the bathroom and 2 more heaters in the living area during the winter months.

Entertainment
You will have access to tv, music and a dvd player as previously mentioned. But generally in these modern times many people tend to bring their entertainment with them as long as they have access to the Internet, which there is of course through our wi-fi connection.

Of course if you prefer an old fashioned approach to your entertainment, there will be a selection of various games to choose from and playing cards. And of course the aforementioned books. We also have no problem with guests taking a book away with them if it is not finished, providing another one is left in its place.

Garden and outside
We are in a village so we do have neighbours, but the fences have been screened for privacy and the pool is set in a 100m2 terrace.

There are loungers to relax
by the pool and an outdoor table with chairs for al fresco dining. There are shady spots when the sun gets too hot and a number of parasols so you can position your shade as you like it.

The garden is Mediterranean style with lots of gravel beds, pots and cacti, grass doesn't fair too well in this part of France, but the cacti do very well.

Visitor suitability
Generally we prefer that the apartment is only used by paying guests, but we don't mind one or 2 guests occasionally as long as consideration is made for the neighbours and we will of course be the nearest neighbours.

Information about any additional facilities
The utility room comes with an automatic washing machine, ironing board and iron plus a large airer for drying.
