Mas St. Joseph, Ille-sur-tet. Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Mas St Joseph, built in 1790, holds a rich history as the former living quarters for the nearby monastery. Today, the peach farm incorporates much of the original monastery, including additional farmhouse and barns, while the beautiful chapel resides on the opposite side. The mas still exudes a tranquil atmosphere, offering spacious rooms with stunning views of the peach orchards, hills, and mountains beyond. Traditional Catalan brocante items are showcased in the rooms and available for purchase.

On the ground floor, guests are welcomed into an entrance hallway adorned with exposed stonework and beams. A large refectory table allows for indoor meals when the weather doesn't permit outdoor dining. Two guest sitting rooms provide various amenities such as satellite TV, a granule burner (heater), desks, maps, regional information, and an electric cool box. The larger sitting room also features a DVD player. French doors lead out to a Moroccan-style patio/courtyard with a barbecue and seating area on one side, and a swimming pool with additional seating on the other. Guests are free to choose their preferred breakfast spot.

We offer three bedrooms and a self-contained studio, each with a newly renovated en-suite shower and toilet. All rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi and satellite television. Room rates include a generous continental breakfast, with the option of picnic lunches and evening meals upon request.
