Everything that you need for an idyllic stay

Karen has thought of everything and the house does not disappoint. The views are stunning and facilities offered in it are second to none. It is a great base for visiting the Dali museum at Figueres or the old fishing of Cadaques which is a nearby drive. I only wished we had booked a longer stay.

Fabulous property with an equally fabulous view!

Fantastic location with a magnificent view situated next to the National Park. A no-through road so little traffic with the occasional festival noise early evening drifting up the hill. Only a 10 minute drive way from the main town/supermarkets. Property finished to a high standard throughout. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc and the two fridges were ample for our needs. Karen provided a wonderful welcome pack and even a water filter jug which gave us cold water rather than buying bottled water. The beds were very comfortable and the showers in the bathrooms were powerful. The adjoining bedroom for our grandson was ideal and the cot Karen provided was excellent with a proper mattress. Superb outdoor areas with lots of seating and shade. The pool was ideal for 8 adults and the extended pool steps were enjoyed by our grandson. Karen has gone the extra mile and really thought about what guests would like and the little touches like the salad and vegetable patch and eggs from the hens made our stay more enjoyable. And not least the giant chess set which certainly kept some of our party very quiet! It was useful to have a small gym on site and the weights were used regularly however the spinning bike was looking very tired and could do with replacing. This was the only negative for a superb property where we felt very happy, safe and secure and would not hesitate to recommend to families or a larger group of adults.

très belle maison, décorée avec gout, assez haute en altitude avec une belle vue .

belle maison, très propre, mais ne bénéficiant pas de l'entretien nécessaire, avec plusieurs pannes ou dysfonctionnement: panne de jacuzzi (depuis 5 mois...) eau tiède, panne de portail, panne de climatisation, hotte aspirante en cuisine. le coté désagréable est l'omniprésence de la propriétaire. quand au coté écolo, critiquant le café et le sopalin, assez dérisoire quand on gagne des sous en bétonnant la montagne....

Spectacular setting

We were a family group who stayed for 2 weeks including an elderly aunt and the villa was perfect for our needs. All on one level with easy access to the pool and other outside facilities. We had a brilliant stay at the villa and we all felt very much at home there. The bedrooms are very spacious , kitchen facilities were first class and everything was very well maintained. Karen has a beautiful home and she did all she could to help us with information and even provided a wheelchair for the aunt. Would have no hesitation in recommending this villa for a perfect vacation as there is plenty to see and do in Roses and surrounding areas.

Very Impressive Villa!

We had booked this villa well in advanced and at our long anticipated arrival we were not disappointed. The house and grounds are spacious and very well maintained. A lot of thought has gone into the interior design with a considerate mix of high specification fittings and homely charm. The views over Roses are amazing and the kids really enjoyed the exterior; pool, jacuzzi, chess. etc. For part of the holiday we were joined by an elderly relative so the level access features around the villa were much appreciated. Karen was an excellent host and provided us with a most generous welcome pack upon arrival. If you are considering this part of Catalonia for a holiday Casa de l'albada has to be first on your list!

Cette villa est somptueuse et la vue magnifique. Karen est aux petits soins et le service quotidien de ménage est un atout. Nous avons fait appel au chef pour certain repas le soir, et c'était vraiment de grande qualité. Bref des vacances réussies...

How do you say 'Zen' in Spanish?

We stayed just over a week in Roses, and we're pleased with our choice of a place to stay. Upon arrival, the deco and the garden gave us a relaxed feeling. It is a little out of town, but the top of a hill brings a cool breeze, a great view and a lot of privacy. We saw fire works from the pool, sunsets from the hot tub, And a jet ski race from the hike out the backdoor. Karen made our stay in a fabulous home even better. Restaurant recommendations, day time exclusions, and a fully equipt home with beautiful garden...made the time fly by. The house is decorated with style, and stays cool even with the hot outdoors. Roses itself is a great little town. The people are friendly, plenty of restaurants, and a huge beach. The AquaBrava water park on the out skirts of Roses provided a great way to cool off in fresh water. The nearby natural park has ruins from 4000bc. The marked trails were not to difficult, but having hills to climb and decend gave us some morning exercise and a fabulous view of the bay of Roses. I am looking to book my next trip back...so be quick to get your dates!

This is the whole package!

My husband, our 26-year old son, and I just completed a six-day stay at this wonderful house in Roses, high on a hill overlooking the harbor. The view is spectacular from almost every room. We loved the walks from the back of the house on ancient paths through the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The paths are lined with old stone walls, several stone shepherd's huts, and scenic vistas. The hiking paths were an unexpected bonus, also wildflowers were in abundance. Karen, the owner, met us at the house with a light lunch and checked with us consistently to make sure our needs were met. In addition to renting a car, with Karen's recommendation, we hired Steve an English-speaking driver who was delightful. He drove us on short excursions to France, Cadequez, Perlada, Figueres, Girona, as well as to and from Barcelona at the beginning and end of our stay. We felt well taken care of during our stay and would love to do it again.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Zbinden - Surace

Host profile image

Hi, I’m an Australian expat who has called Europe home since 1998. I have three wonderful children and three beautiful grandchildren.

A passionate traveler and avid cyclist, I embrace the great outdoors and make it a priority to enjoy the stunning natural beauty of our local area every day.

With a love for interior design and DIY projects, the villa has become my life’s masterpiece—constantly evolving with creativity and care. Gardening is another passion of mine, rooted in a background in floristry, and I spend countless hours cultivating and enhancing the landscape.

Committed to sustainability, I have worked tirelessly to create a carbon-neutral footprint for my home and family. By reducing emissions and optimizing energy production, we now generate nearly 100% of the villa’s daily electricity needs.

Why they chose this property

One of the greatest joys of spending time at this property is experiencing the ever-changing, breathtaking views over the bay and the western mountain ranges.

In winter, the snow-capped peaks contrast beautifully with the crisp blue skies, often dotted with colorful hot air balloons drifting in the distance. Summer brings constant movement on the bay—sailboats gliding across the water and parachutists descending gracefully toward Empuriabrava, home to Europe’s largest skydiving center. The skies themselves become a canvas, with fascinating cloud formations sparking the imagination.

Spring offers the spectacle of migrating birds, including majestic storks heading north or settling in the nearby Aiguamolls wildlife sanctuary. In autumn, we are treated to some of the most spectacular sunsets, dramatic storms, and distant electrical displays that can be seen from hundreds of kilometers away.

As a passionate gardener, I have chosen to remain the caretaker of this land, embracing the challenges of its unique climate—hot summers, low rainfall, strong winds, and the occasional harsh winter. Despite the elements, working in this garden is a true pleasure, made even more rewarding by the ever-changing vistas that surround me.

And when nature demands retreat, the beauty remains. Every window in the house was intentionally designed with panoramic grey frames, turning each view into a living artwork that shifts with the time of day and the viewer’s perspective. No matter where you are in the home, the landscape is always present, offering a constant connection to the extraordinary world outside.

What makes this property unique

Whether you choose to close the front gates and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this private paradise or explore the surrounding nature park, you’ll feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal town.

Yet, in reality, everything you could possibly need—shopping, dining, entertainment, and activities—is just minutes away, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
