Villelongue dels Monts is just along the hillside from Laroque and forms part of the linear group of stunningly pretty Albčres villages where you will find most of our properties. The Albčres chain of mountains stretches back from the Mediterranean sea at Collioure, they're the last sigh of the Pyrenean chain before it plunges down to meet the sea. One of the least known of these "Albčres" villages, it´s charming and quiet. It has a selection of small traditional shops; in the old centre there is the friendly village bar/restaurant, the Café dels Monts, the paper shop and the mini supermarket with a good selection of fresh fish and meat, fruit and veg. There is a new restaurant, the Ker-Ann, to be found at the new Shopping centre alongside the new Bakery and the best Pizzeria in the world..., Claude's Pizza Coco (and he doesn't just do Pizza either, paellas, suquets and every traditional local fish dish imaginable ....) The tennis club and courts are easily accessible and all in all its a great little village for your holiday. The supermarket is only 10 minutes away down on the main road. A good range of restaurants are to be found in these Albčres villages including two of the best in the region.
Our comfortable and well equipped villa here, on two floors, with pool, stands on the edge of the village. There's a great view from East terrace towards the sea and the mountains, and the covered West terrace is a haven of peace, ideal for secluded candlelit dinners! There are good walks in the forest above, (all the way over into Spain if you like!), and the sea is only 15 km away, close enough to be convenient, far enough to be away from the crowds.
Entrance from driveway, up slope then steps, to part covered East terrace (photo below) which has excellent views to the Albčres mountains and down to the sea.
