Breakfast on the upper terrace, lunch under the shady carob tree, a barbecue in the evening or a family meal around the large kitchen table – Villa La Joia is perfect for enjoying the best of local produce with friends and family.

The region produces flavoursome olives, beautiful honey and the freshest fish and shellfish from the Ebro Delta and from the local fishing fleet based in nearby L’Ampolla. With a choice of local supermarkets, bakers, butchers and markets nearby, shopping for produce is a pleasure.

There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants within a short drive for those who prefer to let someone else the do cooking.


On the Doorstep

Villa La Joia can be reached by public transport and taxi, but to enjoy this part of Catalonia, a car is recommended.

Beyond the coves and beaches of the Costa Daurada there are mountains, wetlands and rivers to explore.

Quaint villages and busy market towns are all within a short drive, while the bright lights of Barcelona and Valencia are both less than 2 hours drive away.

Your Host

Like many, Billy Couper had dreamed of a holiday home in Spain, and after years of searching and following the advice of Spanish property specialists such as Jasmine Harmin from A Place in The Sun (pictured here with Billy), he found Villa La Joia.

He discovered the area when returning from a property search further up the River Ebro and immediately fell in love with this beautiful house and its tranquil setting.

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality, property and fine art businesses, Billy has used his skills to create a holiday home that is perfect for groups of friends or families, yet still has quiet corners for more solitary relaxation.
