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.
