Vvf Villages Leucate

Really good.

The charming harbor and promenade make for an almost too convenient location. The place talks about friendliness, but apartments ending in an 8 put you right beside the neighbors' living rooms. Privacy? Forget it. The restaurant downstairs sends the smell of local food straight into your apartment, from aioli and fried food to shellfish. It's like having it delivered to your door, better than Uber Eats. The waiters sing along to loud music from 10 a.m. until 1 a.m., too. The sliding glass doors take some effort to move, and the mattress is harder than the floor. Showering also turns the apartment into a water park, while the run-down pool has tiles sharp enough to cut your feet. Koh Lanta has nothing on this.

The apartments are renovated, clean, secure and well-equipped, and the Murphy bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent, with shops and essentials just around the corner, along with the market, restaurants and bars. Staff were really pleasant and friendly. You can pay to park on site or use free parking five minutes away. The apartments get very hot in really warm weather, though it didn't ruin our holiday. I hope VVF invests in air conditioning one day. The small fans aren't powerful enough, but they're better than nothing. The pool could also use a renovation. There are deckchairs, chairs and umbrellas available 😉 Just be aware that the port and its restaurants are busy, so it's not the place to choose for peace and quiet 😉 We had a wonderful holiday and look forward to coming back. Thanks to the discreet maintenance staff for making our stay pleasant, and thank you, VVF!

The staff were great, and the 43-inch TV was a nice plus. But the apartment was cramped for four people and unbearably hot, over 30°C, with no air conditioning and only a small fan. The nights were awful, even with the patio doors open and the fan on. Some people over 65 left two days early because of the heat. I don't recommend staying here in summer.
