The villa was spotlessly clean and well fitted out with modern equipment. There was a welcoming bottle of wine as well as tea and coffee and orange juice when we arrived, much appreciated after a long drive.
There is a double bedroom, a twin room and a third room with bunk beds. The TV can be used for French or UK television. There is a selection of good films on DVDs for the home cinema.
Fitou itself is a lovely village where some excellent wines are produced. The nearby beach is great, especialy if you have children or like kite surfing, and the location is close to sights like Collioure and the Cathar castles.

We had a great time everything was ship shape and clean when we arrived the quality of the fixtures and fittings were very good.
The A/C worked wonderfully well and was completely silent, there is not anything I can think of that needs improving.
We would thoroughly recommend this property, if you want quality and a nice peaceful time.

Dear Janet & Peter,
We fully enjoyed our stay in your lovely Villa Saureto.
For us, this was the ultimate way of spending our holidays, very nice house, all the facilities you could wish for, everything from our communication, support and till we left worked perfectly.
The view from the patio was indeed lovely, the weather was good, the food fine (many good restaurants in the village) and the Rose cold.
We liked very much the surrounding area, with a lot to enjoy exploring, bringing the picnic basket in the car.
Your property is highly recommended to all who loves Southern France,
Anne-Mette & Hans from Denmark.

We stayed in Villa Saureto for two weeks in early June and had a great stay. The villa itself is brilliantly equipped for cooking and relaxing outdoors. It was a lovely surprise to even find some children's toys in the garage. The onsite pool complex had a pool which was covered at night making it a great temperature for younger children.
Fitou is a quiet village with some very tasty restaurants. Nearby Leucate is a lot livelier and the beach is lovely. I'd definitely recommend a car for day trips, shopping, etc.
The owners are very helpful and responsive.

Stayed for a week in July. Had a great time. Villa was very clean and had a great view and everything that we wanted (aircon was very welcome). We used the communal pool every day, which wasnt crowded and there were always plenty of loungers. The Fitou wine festival was excellent for both adults and kids. Would highly recommend.

Peter and Janet were the most excellent hosts. They provided all the information you could want from a host and answered any questions I had about the location or the property and very quickly too!
Once in the property, it was perfect for myself, my husband and my 3.5 yo son. The pool in the complex was really useful and the villa had everything we needed and if we didn't know how to use something, instructions were everywhere! The villa was well equipped, was spacious and had leaflets on what's around the area too. It had air conditioning, outdoor seating, clothes dryer rack, also had English TV for us to watch!
The surrounding area was ok - a little further out from town and from the coast but it meant it was quite secluded and quiet.
Thank you so much - really great villa!

This is a beautifully kept and well presented villa with Mediterranean views from the lounge and patio. As the owner says it is fully air conditioned, and this works really well - which was much appreciated as we had a very hot week (August 2018).
This villa is well situated whatever your taste in holiday. Beaches are a short drive away, there are historic sites close by with Fitou chateau within walking distance, and there is a swimming pool a few yards away.
We will definitely be coming back.

We had a lovely stay in this villa. It is beautifully presented with a gorgeous view to lighthouses and the sea. It's got all the equipment you need including beach toys for the kids and little touches like dishwasher tablets etc. Peter the owner was very helpful including arranging the posting of a forgotten item. It is a very quiet complex but it meant we often had the pools almost to ourselves, which was great. Fitou is a small traditional village and the beaches nearby are beautiful, if sometimes fairly windy but it was refreshing in the summer heat!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Saureto, helped by the very welcome ‘welcome pack’ on arrival with some essentials and a bottle of local wine.
The villa was very clean, tidy and spacious with everything you could need on holiday - a real home from home - with lovely views out to the Med from the verandas and two excellent pools which the kids couldn’t stay out of! Even in the peak of August the pools were not overly busy.
Fitou itself is small but charming with a couple of very good restaurants and excellent wine Caves, with some worthwhile local tours of local wine makers premises - Cap Leucate (free tickets from the welcome pack!) and Terra Vinea, etc. Be careful with how much wine you ‘taste’ however if driving!
The beach at Leucate was excellent, long and super clean, with views out to the Pyrenees (Although we didn’t, Barcelona can be reached by train from Leucate) and more great restaurants in the town – ‘La Bodega El Flamingo’ being a firm favourite (definitely need to book however)
We used the villa as a convenient base for day trips to Carcassonne, Toulouse, Narbonne, Perpignan and Collioure which were brilliant for culture, food, shopping and the typical French summer atmosphere. There are plenty of varied things to see and do in the region and the villa was well suited to relaxing and re-charging. I would highly recommend and would love to return again in the future.
