As its name, ‘mas’, suggests, it was originally a farmhouse, built in 1745 and planted with a terraced olive grove.
The Villa and guest house are now well-appointed and lovingly furnished to accommodate up to 13 guests. The section, the house and pool area has sun all day long and gets the beautiful late afternoon in the back courtyard, perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine.
Font Joie is immensely quiet and peaceful, set in approximately an acre of terraced grounds, with a lovely Pool and a well-equipped Pool House for drinks and barbecues and sharing one ( or two ) glasses of the many locally produced wines in the summer evenings.
