In 15 years of coming to France this is the best villa we have stayed in. Villa Failte was really clean and had everything we wanted for a lovely family holiday.
Loved our stay at the Villa fab outside kitchen nice and peaceful plenty of space, owners were very easy to reach if needed. Would definitely come back
We had a great time in this house. House is super useful: Large rooms with airco, kitchen close to outside kitchen/bbq and swimming pool superclean.
Close to the centre and beach, all shops within 5 minutes. We recommend!
The directions to the property were well prepared and we found the villa easily. The villa was well equipped and the facilitates were also very good. The surrounding area was very quiet and the garden/ pool area was excellent. There was a shaded terrace with an outside table and chairs to enable anyone to take cover from the sun. There are restaurants and bars in the village or you can visit the port and beach area which is a 15mins drive where there is a lot more choice.
We had a really relaxing stay at this villa. It had everything we needed. We hardly left as it was such a nice place to be, especially in the hot weather. We played in the pool all day, ate in the outdoor kitchen lunch & dinner and played boules in the evening. The air conditioning was very welcome at night. So too were the comfy beds & pillows. Excellent instructions from for checking in & out. Couldn’t fault it! Would highly recommend. Thanks Stewart & Donna for the lovely welcome pack, toiletries and pool towels which were all great additions.
Most of our holiday was spent outside by and in the pool. The house and weather were perfect. The pool was a little cold at first but soon warmed to 28 deg. We enjoyed trips into town, to the beach and to the marina for a birthday dinner. Alas, a bush fire caused damage to a nearby campsite with explosions and black smoke which really frightened the children. Thankfully the many fire engines and aircraft were able to extinguish it within 24 hours. In spite of this we would happily return.

Thank you for your review and we are really glad that you enjoyed your holiday ... the local fires which were due to exceptional drought conditions in 2023 were fortunately far enough away from the residential areas of Argeles Sur Mer. We are glad that they didn't spoil your holiday and that you still had a good time.
Super maison de vacances très fonctionnelle, à proximité des commodités.Le cadre tranquille , nous conseillons cet location, les échanges, réactivité du propriétaire au top . Nous reviendrons avec certitude
Virkelig dejligt udeområde. Hyggeligt med petanque bane bag huset. Og så var det skønt at kunne låne de 2 cykler der var til rådighed. Udlejer har gjort meget for at gøre det til et dejligt ophold.
Des atouts: piscine, la cuisine d’été et le barbecue, emplacement très calme, (2) vélos, chambres climatisées, l’accueil et des explications (en anglais uniquement)Des points à savoir : il serait bien d’avoir, à minima, 4 vélos (pour une famille complète), c’est un peu loin de la mer pour ceux qui veulent y aller souvent (il faut aller en voiture), pas de climatisation dans le salonNous avons passé une excellente semaine!!!Merci !
Séjour très agréable,maison bien agencée,bien située et au calme .
Propreté impeccable,commodité à proximité.
Propriétaires joignables rapidement,très réactifs et arrangeants. Consignes au top!
Nous avons passés un excellent moment !
Très bon séjour. Maison très spacieuse et agréable, environnement calme. Nous avons surtout apprécié la piscine qui est vraiment impeccable avec une belle eau !
Une semaine de vacances merveilleuse dans une villa adaptée à la détente, aux loisirs et au farniente. Parfaitement équipée, située dans un quartier très calme sans aucun bruit, la villa et la gentillesse des propriétaires ont contribué à une semaine de vacances inoubliable appréciée par tous.
Très belle villa, belle piscine. Un peu loin du centre ville et des plages. Par canicule il fait trè
Excellent séjour. Par canicule il fait très chaud sur l’espace couvert, terrasse, qui est peu aéré, ventilé. La maison est agréable et il y a tout le nécessaire. Ceci il faut être ingénieur en informatique pour allumer la T.V Merci pour votre accueil très sérieux.
Een zeer compleet vakantiehuis, mooie omgeving. Het huis, met zwembad en buitenkeuken, is zo prettig dat wij maar 1x naar zee geweest zijn. In de omgeving genoeg te doen. Voor een leuk uitstapje hoef je dus niet ver te rijden.
The house was perfect. From the outdoor kitchen, to the air conditioned bedrooms, the pool, and the bikes, the property is well equipped. The location was great with easy access to the village and beaches. We all definitely want to go back.
Nous avons bien apprécié notre week-end dans cette maison agréable et spacieuse. Tout est conforme à l’annonce . Le coin barbecue et repas est protégé du soleil et du vent . La cuisine est bien équipée. La literie est bonne . La maison était très propre ainsi que les draps et les serviettes.
La piscine est de bonne dimension pour un groupe d’amis comme nous
Les propriétaires et leur ami sur place sont aux petits soins pour leur hôte . Merci à eux
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette propriété où absolument rien ne manque.(piscine, terrain de pétanque, ping-pong...) Le contact avec les propriétaires a été amical et les informations précises. Idéale avec des enfants et bien situé dans un quartier calme. Beaucoup de place pour séjourner en famille à 8 personnes. Un de nos meilleurs séjour estival.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille avec 3 générations. La location est parfaitement conforme aux photos de l'annonce et même plutôt mieux. Le parc et la piscine sont parfaitement entretenus et très agréable. La villa est très propre et fonctionnelle, avec beaucoup de rangements. L'emplacement est très calme tout en étant pas trop loin d'Argelès Village. La personne "contact" sur place est très sympathique et disponible et les propriétaires avec lesquels nous avons communiqué par mail sont très réactifs. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour et recommandons particulièrement cette location dans laquelle nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Villa Failte on a visit to the area and intend spending many months living there in future years. It has a lovely cosy family home feel about it and is very tranquil and relaxing. We have 4 children and chose the area because of the extensive outdoor activities available locally, the history of the area (Languedoc / Cathar) and the proximity to Barcelona (2.5 hours drive or direct train from Perpignan), not to mention the scenery and the sun !! We live beside the sea in Troon, Scotland and love the easy access to the beaches and sea at Argeles.
What makes this property unique
The villa and the location offer a bit of everything - whether you are looking for relaxation, culture, outdoor activities, entertainment or all of these. Argeles Sur Mer is part of Catalonia and so benefits from both French and Catalan cultures ... it is only a 25 minute drive to Spain and 2.5 hours to Barcelona. The area is easily accessible from a number of airports (Perpignan, Girona, Carcassone, Beziers, Montpellier, Toulouse, El Prat Barcelona). Have a look at the Argeles tourism website (link supplied) ... and that is just Argeles ... the Languedoc truly does have everything for a perfect holiday.
