All serve superb food and offer a unique French atmosphere. At the Vidal restaurant you can indulge in an amazing seafood and cold meats buffet whilst being entertained by the Grandfather on his saxaphone....a truly unforgettable experience! At Cave D'Agnes restaurant, a converted barn, the food tends to be traditionally French with options such as foie gras, oysters, goats cheese, steak rossini and seabass.
There is also a medieval chateau within a 10 minute walk that has a museum, gift shop and bar where tapas is served. Live music is performed most weekends during the mid and high season.

“Perfect villa, perfect location, great food and wine, lots to see and do” We stayed in Villa Bellevue in June with some friends and our dog Bessie, all adults and no kids. The villa is lovely, all on one level and very well equipped. We mainly cooked and barbequed at the villa most evenings because it was so well equipped and the outside eating areas (there are several) were lovely. When we did go out it was just a short stroll to the village and we ate at The Moulin and also the restaurant Vidal. Both were fantasic. and the food was really French. Lots of locals eating there and not too many tourists. We also had an evening at the chateau and a live band were playing outside. It was a perfect setting with views over the village out to the sea. The pool was well used by our party, it was a good size and relatively private. The double bedrooms were perfect, clean and bright with large fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom had a huge, very comfy ,double bed and patio doors looked out onto the pool terrace. Even though wi-fi was not advertised with the villa the owners set it up for us to use which was a real bonus. Locally we visited Collioure, Carcassone, Ville Franche de Conflent and Narboone. All worth a visit and highly recomended. As fans of Rick Stein we particularly loved seeing the Canal du Midi and visiting the indoor food market at Narbonne. The owners lived locally and were very friendly but not intrusive. They gave us lots of information on the area and were always available if we needed them. We will definately go back!!

“Fantastic villa in a great location and highly recommended” We stayed with our two children, toddler aged 22 months and baby 12 weeks old accompanied by friends witha toddler the same age as our own. Flew to Bezier, which is a great little airport so no long trek from the plane through the terminal with the kids to collect luggage. Car hire from Hertz (top tip..complete the online form as it does save you time at the airport) was simple and the cars are about 30 yards from terminal exit...easy! Fitou very easy to find from the main road and is a lovely quiet village which the villa sits on the hill overlooking. This villa is fantastic with lots of space. Big, well equiped kitchen with open plan dining area and sitting room. Four large double rooms with plenty of cupboard space and 2 bathrooms. Lots of private outside lounging around areas so you can sit in the sun pretty much all day long if you choose. Pool is great and enclosed so that you can keep kids safe. Owner of the villa, Anne, popped in to say hi on our arrival and came bearing two bottles of the local red and white muscat wine. She was very helpful and gave lots of tips on which beaches to go to, where to eat and more importantly buy the best wine. She even ordered pizza from the takeaway for us as all shops were closed on the Sunday! We had a fantastic week, helped by the fact that for the first week of October it was an unseasonal 29 degrees! If you're looking for the perfect family villa in this part of the world I can't recommend highly enough.
