Villas and houses for sale in Roses

Living in Roses

Roses lies at the northern end of the gulf that bears its name, in the Alt Empordà, at the gateway to the Cap de Creus Natural Park. Its wide bay, sandy beaches and rocky coves towards the cape, its marina and fishing port and its heritage —the Ciutadella and the castle of La Trinitat— make it one of the most complete towns on the northern Costa Brava.

The residential areas climbing towards the Rodes range offer villas with open views over the bay, in a much quieter setting than the centre.

Areas of Roses

The centre and the promenade concentrate shops, restaurants and the liveliest atmosphere. To the east, the hillside estates and the coves stretching towards Cap de Creus offer villas with views and greater privacy. To the west, the plain of the bay connects with Empuriabrava and its canals.

What to consider when buying in Roses

• The view over the bay: the factor that most influences a villa’s value.
• Orientation and the tramuntana: the north wind, typical of the area, shapes the design of terraces and gardens.
• Distance to the coves: highly valued in the areas towards the cape.
• Type of construction: contemporary villa or house to update.
• Access: the gradient and condition of the streets in the hillside estates.

What a villa in Roses is like

Villas in the upper parts of Roses are usually terraced into the hillside so that every room opens onto the bay, with large windows, wind-sheltered terraces and pools with views. Contemporary builds favour clean lines, natural materials and careful integration into the landscape.

Life in Roses

Roses keeps its shops, services and activity all year round, with its port and market. Sailing, diving, routes through Cap de Creus and seafood cuisine are part of everyday life, and Figueres is a short drive away.

Main residence or second home

Roses is chosen both as a second home, for its bay and coves, and for living all year round, thanks to its services and proximity to Figueres and the French border.
