This villa stay was fantastic! The property was even more beautiful in person, with stunning views and a well-maintained interior. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the host was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the pool and outdoor space. Highly recommend!

Relaxing stay in beautiful villa

Beautiful villa equipped to the highest standard set in a very sleepy french village. Fantastic walks (bring walking boots!!). Totally relaxed after our stay. Would recommend (if you like a quiet holiday).

So glad you had such a relaxing stay. The walking is indeed magnificent with views across the etang (salt lake) to the sea. The village is very peaceful, but those chasing more of a party atmosphere head down to the 3 beach clubs on Leucate Plage - La Poulpe, Biquet’s and Pilotis for fabulous food, sunbeds and cocktails! Thank you for a great review and we hope to welcome you back again - with your walking boots!

Fitou holiday

Property was lovely, spacious, well equipped and clean. Facilities were great, pool area a real sun trap and kitchen has everything you need. Great weather also helped. The village is pretty but could do with an extra bar or cafe than it has as the ones there were always full, but Leucate is close and has plentyVery relaxing break and would recommend the property to anyone wanting a chilled out time

Thanks for a great review Steven, delighted that you loved the villa! Yes Leucate is packed with restaurants and bars, the ones in Fitou being a smaller village do get busy so best to book in advance. Glad the weather was fabulous too!

Amazing Place Excellent Service

Our time at the property was amazing. Wonderful safe place for me and my wife and our three children. Walking distance too many wine tasting opportunities and restaurants. Wonderful beaches with kite surfing, wind surfing, and paddleboard opportunities abound. Couldnt have enjoyed it more. We hope to be back!!!

Sublime September Stay

This was our second stay at Les Hirondelles and we enjoyed another wonderful week. Ian and Julie (the property managers) helped us settle in quickly and the villa was even more spoiling and comfortable thanks to the new Kitchen area. This is a place where you can truly switch off and relax and there’s no doubt in our minds that we will hope to return at some point in the not too distant future - thank you!

Impressive villa in a great location

The villa was very impressive. It was spotless and had all the amenities that were needed. Julie and Ian were great property managers and were flexible in accommodating our flight times, which meant to we could arrive at the villa earlier than expected. The location is also excellent - two very good restaurants at the end of the drive and more within walking distance in the village. It was also only a 10 minute walk to the boulangerie in the morning. I cannot recommend this villa enough.

A great week in Fitou!

We really enjoyed our week at this property in Fitou. The position is excellent, with local restaurants very close and the boulangerie just 5mins walk. The villa itself was large, open and comfortable, the a/c was a blessing. The children loved the pool which was bathed in sunshine all day. The beaches are a 10min drive away and if you feel a little more adventurous, worth making the journey into Spain. We will be back!

Well equipped house in tranquil location

A beautifully presented house situated in a quiet village but with several excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. Wine tasting and a small bar all within the village and 15minute drive to the beach/lake. Absolutely loved it. The house had everything we needed and more. Ian and Julie, the house managers were lovely and very helpful, giving great tips about restaurants, supermarkets, etc. We were lucky to be there for a month and had a really wonderful time. Would highly recommend it.

Great villa in lovely location and very helpful hosts!

Highly recommend this villa! We had a lovely week - lots to do locally and Fitou is charming, with great restaurants and wine cellars, and just a 5 minute drive to the incredible Leucate beach. The villa itself is fabulous - air con works well throughout the property (it got up to 35 degrees during our stay so keeping cool was a must!); pool was clean and with lots of toys for kids (including Dave the lobster!) and loungers for adults; rooms were a good size; and it was well appointed throughout. The little touches (like washing powder and oils/herbs) also made the whole experience seem great value for money, and like a home away from home. Ian the villa manager was very helpful - thank you!

Bright, comfortable home in a quiet location

We enjoyed this cute, bright house with it’s blissful air conditioning! The back porch, table and pool were great and it was so cool to see the swallows diving into the pool in the evenings. We took full advantage of the two great restaurants that are literally at the end of the driveway. Fitou is very, very quiet with no shops, one rather sad boulangerie and many wine tasting caves. It’s absolutely beautiful if you are looking for a quiet getaway. The beaches are 15-20 minutes away, but an easy drive. The whole area is very easy to drive around and Fitou made a good base for day trips in all directions.

Fabulous Villa in Charming Fitou

Truly lovely week staying in this fabulous villa in Fitou. The villa is a wonderful size - more than enough for our family of 2 adults and 2 almost as big teens, and impeccably appointed. Location strikes a fabulous balance between privacy/quietness and still being within the village, only a stroll from restaurants, shops and caves des vins. There’s plenty of parking on the villa’s private driveway and the pool was very welcome at the end of a day exploring the area. Special mention must go to Cave de Agnes, no more than 200m from the villa, at which we had a lovely meal, Chateau Abalanet, whose old vine wines we really enjoyed and Anamandine in the car park near the Mairie who do wonderful pizzas and burgers to eat there or take away, which our kids thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you very much Lizzie and family!

A lovely holiday home for both families and others!

We visited as a family (mum, dad and three children, aged 10, 7 and 2) stayed here in August 2017. Les Hirondelles is exactly the type of property I would want as a holiday home. Three bedrooms, all with comfy beds, and a large open plan living space for cooking, dining and lounging opening up onto a covered patio for outdoor dining in front of a pool and sun loungers and table tennis table. The only slight disappointment was having to eat dinners indoors as we seemed fair game for some wasps from another property who stayed away due to some fake nests in all instances other than when the temptation of food became too strong for them. The property was spotlessly clean on arrival, and well stocked with everything you are likely to need throughout your stay. Situated toward to top of Fitou, you are not overlooked at all, and the location feels completely quite and safe, yet it's an easy few minutes walk into the village past several restaurants. Fitou itself is wonderfully located to explore an array of beaches running from Leucate down to Argeles-sur-mer near the Spanish border, as well as local towns including Perpignan and Beziers. I would happily recommend Les Hirondelles for anybody wanting to relax in a beautiful location with all amenities nearby, and/or explore the area during the day before returning to splash about in the pool and relax.

Situated in a pretty historic village with a baker, bar, a few good restaurants and small store/cafe. A very comfortable, well equipped house with good beds and bathrooms. The kitchen is modern and very well equipped including two fridges. Very good air conditioning that was easy to control. We had absolutely everything we needed to relax and enjoy our family holiday. A lovely pool with plenty of sun beds and outdoor dining furniture. It is a split house with a large very comfortable bedroom and shower room on the other side of the pool from the main house. This was perfect for us as our daughter and her family stayed in the main house. The owner and the local contact were excellent communicators.

Maison très agréable et accueillante

La villa d'Élisabeth est vraiment agréable. Elle est très joliment décorée, fonctionnelle et particulièrement bien équipée (grand choix d'ustensiles de cuisines) avec un grand rechange de verres, assiettes et couverts qui nous permettait d'être tranquilles pour la journée. La maison est suffisamment spacieuse et bien agencée pour préserver l'intimité de chacun (nous étions 3 couples). Enfin la literie est excellente. Nous avons également apprécié la bouteille de vin de Fitou qui nous attendait en signe de bienvenue. Valérie
