This is not enough. You have to add this condition as well:

AND bien.ref_ville = freguesia_ville.ref_ville

In other words, when you link three tables by a common field, all three relationships should be explicitly expressed, otherwise you'll have this type of explosive row multiplication.

Why so? Is not changing "freguesia_ville.ref_ville =ville.uid" to "freguesia_ville.ref_ville =bien.ref_ville" enough (to prevent cases when ville.uid is null as result of join)?
