We stayed a night in Mas Jonquer during a business visit to Catalonia, and we enjoyed very much the place. The rooms are of very high standard, and the house very autentic. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast. The house has a garden, which is almost a park and a very big swimming pool. There is also a tennis court. We enjoyed our stay very much - L + B (Denmark)

Mas Jonquer is a very well converted farmhouse. The rooms are very nicely appointed, good bathroom, although the bed was rather too hard for our taste.
Because of the T shape of our room, the aircon didn't really reach the bed, despite a ceiling fan.
Isabel provided very good, and very good value evening meal (we couldn't believe that the E16 a head included such good wine) - even at relatively short notice (necessary, because there are few close restaurants, and they have crazy opening hours), breakfast good, loved the honesty bar.
Delightful to be able to relax in the garden, have a game of boules (or was it petanques...never did know the difference), have a dip in the pool.

There were 13 of us including one 4 year old and one baby of 8 months. We had an amazing stay. The Villa was all we were led to believe and more, well equipped, clean and with lots of facilities. The pool and baby pool were great. It was situated in lovely countryside but there was also easy access to villages, shops and seaside. Isabel, the owner was very helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful time.

Having travelled for many years, highs and lows are expected accommodation wise, we were totally impressed by Mas Jonquer. This property is well placed for exploring the region, and in Catalonia being so close to the Pyrenees and a "pathway" into France beyond, there is much to enjoy. Isabel Prat, owner and hostess is an absolute professional. Friendly without gush, she anticipates and meets needs with ease, and treats each guest with the right degree of respect. She should be made a template for B&B standards worldwide. Totally conscious at all times of security - but offering trust, one feels safe,secure, also quite free. The dinner was superb, no other description warrants it. Shared with other fortunate guests - and meeting and enjoying the company of others is neither fostered nor discouraged and so, either quiet singular dining or joining other groups is up to the individual - plenty of room in the spacious dining room for either - we had a memorable time with memorable food. The silky lasagne is recalled with delight by us both, and there were choices enough from the "set" 4 course menu to tempt any appetite, portions were generous. The room was spacious, comfortable and like the bathroom spotlessly clean. The gardens were both tranquil and a delight to the eye. For families or the more active guest, a pool, tennis court, playground furniture for children, all well cared for, available and inviting. Breakfast was as comprehensively stand out as dinner. If required, bacon and egg cooked on demand, fresh and delicious fruit juices, rolls, fruit, muffins, a great range of breads and spreads, pastries,meats and cheeses for the European palate, also English and American tastes well catered for. Simply "un-faultable" - may not be a word, but it describes Isabel and her hospitality perfectly. We will return.

I hesitate to use the expression "good value", as it doesn't necessarily imply top quality, but this hotel really does have it all at a very reasonable price: a beautiful, tranquil setting far from the hustle of day-to-day life; pretty renovated Catalan farmhouse; good quality fixtures and fittings; excellent food; and a hostess who seems to try very hard to anticipate guests' needs.
We had a wonderful two day stay, benefitting from the location to explore the coastline near Figueres. Each morning we set off fuelled with an unusually good breakfast (freshly cooked bacon and omelette, range of fresh and dried fruits, home-made cake, pastries, bread, jams, meat and cheese...), and in the evening had a really good 4 course meal, wine included, for the bargain sum of 16 euros/person. The manager checked what we'd like in advance as it's a fixed menu, and then had prepared a delicious vegetable soup, salad with cheese and tomato filo parcel, fresh fish with asparagus, and apple-pie with turron ice-cream, all home-cooked. I don't think we'll ever eat as well again for that price!
There were also nice little touches, like guests being trusted with a drinks cupboard and glasses should they want a drink in the evening. Isabel, the manager, apparently has taken over the family business armed with a degree in hotel management, and the professionalism shows. Will definitely be back.
We (2 adults, one 2-year-old ) had a lovely stay in this B&B! Isabel Prat is a very kind and enthusiastic host, who speaks English and French fluently. She gave us a useful list of restaurants in Figueras (5-minute drive from the Mas) and even made a telephonic reservation for a tour at the DalÃ-house in Portlligat for me, which I really appreciated. Our room (room 3) was great, and very clean. The garden is huge, and there is a nice swimming pool, as well as a soccer field and even a tennis court! Our toddler loved it. Breakfast is included in the room rate. We highly recommend having dinner (cooked with love by Isabel's mother, 16 euros for a 3-course dinner) at the Mas. We definitely recommend going to Mas Jonquer.

Felt really welcome at this rural country house. Isabel is very helpful and friendly. The house and its grounds are beautiful and well kept. It is very peaceful - I woke up to the sound of birds singing. Very good quality buffet breakfast, very reasonably priced self service mini bar in the dining room. Recommendable for couples or families with young children. Loved the fact that you can take your dog.
