About this property

Luxury 4 Bed Villa, Private Pool, Wifi, Aircon, Quiet Area, Lovely Seaside Town

Villa Failte is a beautifully presented family holiday home sleeping up to 8 people. We have been renting since 2014 and would recommend that you read through our 45+ reviews over the years to get a real feel of the experience and consistent quality that Villa Failte offers. Every year we refresh the internal painting and add something to try and enhance the Villa. This is our second home and we want you to enjoy its use as much as we do.

The Villa is set in self contained grounds with a private gated entrance and benefits from fabulous mountain views. South facing and perfect for a relaxing (or active !) family holiday whether by the pool, at the beach or taking advantage of the many cultural and sporting / outdoor activities on your doorstep.

Externally (all within fully enclosed grounds with security gates) there is a large summer kitchen with barbecue and dining furniture, good sized patio areas with garden furniture and sun loungers , a large private pool with retractable cover for security, a full sized boules pitch and ample parking for 3 vehicles.

Internally the Villa is full equipped with everything you would expect and has more than enough space for up to 8 people (see room details below). There is high speed (fibre) internet / WIFI throughout, air conditioning in all bedrooms, a ceiling fan in the living room, a fully equiped laundry room and a full sized table tennis table in the attached garage..

Villa Failte is set within a quiet residential area but is only 10 to 15 minutes walk into the centre of Argeles Village (including the train station with inexpensive trains to Perpignan, Collioure and many other destinations). Argeles Village is a traditional and charming place with local shops, boulangeries and restaurants as well as a twice weekly local market. The beautiful beaches and Argeles Port are a 45 minute walk away or 15 minutes by bike. In Summer there is also the option of train-bus from the Village Centre.

The Villa is incredibly well connected with easy access by car to all main routes to / from Argeles. Perpignan, Spain and the beautiful villages along the Cote Vermaille (such as Collioure and Banyuls) are all within easy reach.

Argeles Sur Mer is within 2.5 hours of many airports by road. These include Perpignan, Beziers, Girona, Nimes, Carcassonne, Toulouse, Montpellier and Barcelona El Prat.

Annual Holiday

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.

Excellent villa for a relaxing holiday

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.

Perfect holiday marred only by bush fires

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.

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.

Fabulous stay at Villa Failte

The Villa is beautiful and everything needed is provided. We absolutely loved the outdoor areas and pool. The villa is about a 10 minute walk into the village and a comfortable 30 minute walk to the beach. The train station is a 15 minute walk and from here we went into Collioure (its a must) and takes about 4mins. Most evenings we ate at the villa's outdoor kitchen. We did enjoy the occasional meal out and recommend La Gamate in Argeles village,food was fantastic and easy walk from the villa (you will need to book). Thank you for sharing your fantastic villa with us. We will be visiting again.

About the host

Hosted by Stewart & Donna

Host profile image
Donna and Stewart live in Troon, Scotland.

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.
