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 neighboring monastery. Today, the peach farm incorporates much of the original monastery, including an additional farmhouse and various barns. The beautiful chapel sits on the opposite side. Despite the passage of time, the mas still exudes a tranquil atmosphere, offering spacious rooms and breathtaking views of the peach orchards, hills, and mountains beyond. Inside, traditional Catalan brocante items are showcased and available for purchase.

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway boasts exposed stonework and beams, featuring a large refectory table for indoor dining during inclement weather. Two guest sitting rooms are available: the first provides satellite TV, a granule burner (heater), and various amenities such as a desk, maps, regional information, and an electric cool box. The second, larger sitting room also includes satellite TV and a DVD player. French doors lead to the Moroccan-style patio/courtyard, equipped with a barbecue and seating area on one side, and a swimming pool with additional seating on the other. Guests are welcome to choose where they would like to enjoy their breakfast.

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