Fitou holiday villa

This villa has to be the best holiday home we have rented as it had everything we needed and more. The owners are delightful and were keen for us to enjoy our stay.
The property is furnished so comfortably - not at all like your usual rental holiday homes. Every utensil and gaget you will need is provided, including a great collection of CDs.
It is a great base for those who like an action packed holiday as nearby Leucate provides the perfect location for kite-surfing and windsurfing. it is also a great base for walking.
If, like us you have young children, this villa is perfect as it has a wonderful enclosed terrace and is just opposite the swimming pool enclosure, where our children spent a great deal of their time having fun, as did their parents!
Nearby Carcasonne is a great place to visit and it is also worth a 75 min drive to Spain to discover some beautiful villages and beaches.
La Francqui beach is only a short drive from the villa and is very nice for swimming so long as the wind isn't to gusty. The wind can change quite quickly here and it isn't advisable to use inflatables unless the wind is very calm as it is usually off-shore.
You definately need a car to stay at this villa as it is set in a complex up on the hillside, however, we were more than happy to spend days on end relaxing at the pool and on the terrace and not use the car.
There are 2 delightful restaurants in Fitou village which I would recommend visiting. They are both child friendly.
If you enjoy a glass of wine, visiting the Caves in the main street of Fitou is a must. It's fun to do a bit of wine tasting and to chat to the vendors and of course to buy some wonderful, well priced bottles of Fitou.
I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this villa and hope that we are able to go back again next year.
