Mas St Joseph was built in 1790 as the living quarters for the adjacent monastery and is therefore steeped in history.  Much of the original monastery has now been incorporated into the peach farm, forming an additional farmhouse and various barns.  The beautiful chapel is situated on the opposite side.  The mas, with its spacious rooms and beautiful views across the peach orchards to the hills and mountains beyond, still retains much of the tranquil atmosphere from its past.

The entrance hall welcomes guests with a library of guidebooks and leaflets about the area as well as a large wall map indicating all the popular local tourist attractions.  There is also a wide variety of fiction books and DVDs for guests to borrow.  In the hall there is also a sofa and coffee table, ideal for planning exciting days out.  This reception area leads through to a large open-plan salon/dining room with facilities for self-service breakfasts and a fridge with cold beers and soft drinks for sale.  Guests may take their meals in the dining room or on one of our pretty outdoor terraces. From the Salon, French doors open out onto the enclosed courtyard with summer kitchen, outside table and comfy seating and on the other side of a low wall, the swimming pool and further seating area in our Moroccan style corner.
