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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fabulous villa with everything you could wish for!
We stayed here as a family of 4, with another family of 3 and the villa was perfect! Between us we had 3 girls, aged 11 and two at 13. The location is great - short walk to the village and drive to a choice of lovely beaches, the port or other nice towns. Villa Failte is fantastic. Very spacious, with great outdoor space as well, including a lovely seating area and barbecue; and the fabulous pool. There’s also table-tennis, pétanque and plenty of inflatables and games to keep you occupied! The villa is well equipped with all home from home comforts. Our girls enjoyed being able to watch Netflix to escape the heat! Communication with the owners was super efficient when booking and prior to our holiday with lots of useful information provided. This continued throughout our stay, with the helpful manager Gavin as well. We had a fantastic week here, and would definitely recommend, or come back again!

Beautiful villa
This villa is just beautiful, tastefully decorated and very spacious. We have 2 young children, Stewart and Donna were very accommodating for them putting the stair gates up before we arrived there was also a baby cot and high chair. We loved the garden which was also very child friendly all enclosed and there was a cover for the pool that heated it when closed. The pool was amazing lovely and warm which was also great for the kids. The villa was well equipped with a large TV, wifi, games, DVDs, books, CDs and a portable speaker that you can connect your phone too. Stewart and Donna were great after we booked sending through lots of helpful information on the villa and things to do, the villa is about a 10 minute walk from local shops and resturants, we had lunch out a couple of times but we mostly eat at the BBQ area at the villa. The local supermarket was only a 5 minute drive away and had everything we needed. We also headed to the beach for a day which was beautiful, there were lots of nice cafes and restaurants at the marina but you really need a car to get there. We can't recommend this villa enough it was just stunning and Stewart and Donna where lovely to deal with.

A fantastic, spacious and well-equipped villa within easy reach of everything you could need.
This villa had everything we could have hoped for (and more) as a party of 8 adults, looking for a relaxing stay, in an area of France I have visited a number of times. It is spacious and well laid out with a good-sized pool, loads of outside space and a fantastic summer kitchen. It's the perfect place for a relaxing family holiday and people of all ages. For example, the table tennis table in the garage provided endless fun. Stewart and Donna went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. They replied to queries promptly and during our stay they emailed to check whether we needed any extra blankets because the weather turned a bit colder. Overall we couldn't have asked for a nicer villa or hosts. We will definitely be visiting again.

An outstanding villa with everything you will need
We had a fantastic week's holiday at Villa Failte in Argele Sur Mer. I can unreservedly recommend the property and the doing business with the owners. If you have any doubt at all, give them a ring or drop an email - we were stunned at how rapidly we received a response. The house itself is equipped with very comfortable furnishings and ample room for a family. It has pretty much everything you will need including simple toiletries, towels and bedding. For fun; there was a petainque court out back, a table tennis table in the garage, bikes in the shed and....oh yes, a pool! 10m long and covered to keep it clean and warm - the pictures do it justice - it was great! We ate outside everyday in the bbq area with food bought from a mixture of the town and the nearby Intermarche (5 mins via the back route). The laundry facilities worked, the fridges and freezers were ample and the air con a welcome respite from the heat come bed time. In a sentence - excellently well equipped, clean, well maintained and owned by people I was glad to do business with. Location - The villa is near the town but we preferred to drive if it was to the shops, head to the beach or eat. Nothing to do with the Villa, but Argele traffic in the summer can be a bit busy and is not for the faint hearted on a bike. There is a walking route into town, but we didn't like it much, so used a car on most occassions. A car is highly recommended, but parking in the entire region can be tricky. The surrounding roads were very quiet, as was the immediate area which is well served by a bus route (though we never used it). It's close to a local train station which will take you to Perpignan or Collioure - both worth a visit. In a sentence - The villa is well located in an easy to access and quiet area. We would highly recommend a car but it is possible to survive without one. (OK, two sentences). All in all we had a great time. loved the villa and have no hesitation in recommending the property, the owners or HomeAway.

Absolutely top-notch villa: walk in, drop bags, enjoy holiday..the owners have thought of everything
This is an excellent, well-equipped, thoughtfully presented, comfortable property in a great location. If you're looking for a relaxed, no-effort family holiday location it would take some beating. We were a family party of 6 adults and 2 young teens and we all enjoyed the villa enormously, each doing our own thing but meeting up by the pool, or for breakfast and supper in the summer-kitchen which (apart from the pool) is the best feature; an attractive and cheery place to hang out, watching the barbecue and sipping a glass of chilled rose. Plenty of room in the pool for us all and masses of room in the spacious interior for us not to be tripping over each other which meant that the children, on the rare moments when they left the pool, could watch a film or chill out on a sofa each - which made for a very relaxing time for the adults. We were here during a heatwave and under-achieved on sightseeing generally, preferring to do early forays out and spend afternoons and evenings at the Villa. However we can report on the following: Collioure is beautiful but do go early in high season. We arrived for the Weds. market at 8.30 but by midday when we left, it was very busy with a queue of traffic on the coast road to get in. Argeles' beaches are large and lovely; very busy on Sundays but otherwise, even in late August, there's plenty of space for all. Argeles Port is a great spot for an apero and people-watching; motor-boat hire (no licence necessary) was great fun, 'Tropical' mini-golf is well-groomed, attractive and just challenging enough to keep young teenagers interested for a while. We ate out at the 'Amethyste' in the Port: the food was fine though unremarkable but it's a great location and they were friendly and helpful. Port Vendres is a proper fishing port and I imagine you'd get a decent seafood meal at one of it's many speciality restaurants. The property was spotless when we arrived and the welcome-pack was much-appreciated...nice too that all switches, plugs etc were labelled - thank you! It was a blessing not to have to pack linens and even beach towels were supplied. We didn't even have to pack boules or pool-inflatables...all there. We did make a few sad attempts at table-tennis and should you wish to spend your holiday washing and ironing, then the laundry-room is for you. The outside space is well-maintained and the mature palms and olive trees provide a lovely-dappled shade for lounger-snoozing. Altogether a cracking good holiday!

FANTASTIC VILLA and LOCATION
As a family we have been travelling to this area of Southern France for 30 years. This is by far the best property we have stayed in. Fantastic pool, large well equipped property and excellent location. Just a 10 minute walk and your in the centre of town, with it's shops, bars and restaurants. The La Gamate being our favorite, highly recommended. A 30 minute walk to the beach front. Stuart and Donna have been excellent with their correspondence and communications. Looking forward to visiting again in the near future.

Villa Failte 9-16July 2016
We had a great stay at Villa Failte, which could not have been better. The property was very well maintained and had everything we needed. The highlight is the pool, which kept a good temperature so was easy to get in to. The house is within easy walking distance of the boulangeries in the village for breakfasts and very well positioned for trips to lots of the nice beaches nearby. We particularly liked St Bernardi just past Port Vendres.

An ideal property for 8 people with a super pool and outside bbq and kitchen.
The villa is exceptionally well equiped. The table tennis was especially popular with both children and adults as was the super pool which had the added bonus of a substantial cover which not only kept the pool clean but also maintained the water at a lovely temperature. There is a large selection of cooking utensils etc and plenty of crockery and cutlery as well as two fridges. We always ate at the table in the outside kitchen area as the weather was excellent and we made good use of the bbq. The villa is well situated being near enough to Argeles for a stroll to collect baguettes etc for breakfast and to visit in the evenings as it had quite a few bars. Further afield there are lovely places to visit our favourite being Collioure. From there you could catch a road train which went for a 45min ride along hillside paths which afforded wonderful views of the coastline. A really lovely villa which we have pleasure in recommending.
