Property Detail

This fascinating property, set amongst extensive and colourful gardens of roses, palms, olives and apricots, consists of the main house and the Doll’s House which are linked by a large sitting room and fabulous pool.

 

Either houses can be let totally separately from the other (which will be unoccupied), or taken together they make a fantastic venue for the ultimate holiday.   Each contains numerous salons, nooks, crannies, grottoes, staircases, hideaways and balconies as well as individually themed bedrooms: Jungle, Bonsai, Nursery and Tantra.   Two maids attend to every whim.

 

Entertaining and culinary delights are legendary with its full-time Moroccan chef and pastry cook preparing local and International cuisine.  Health-conscious guests will enjoy the fabulous home-made bread, muesli and yogurt for breakfast and the full-course vegetarian lunches.

 

Long lingering meals are eaten out of doors or in true Moroccan tradition on cushions in the different sitting rooms.  Soporific days spent at the mosaic pool area can be combined with sight-seeing and “souking” in Marrakech.

 

We can arrange trips to the Atlantic Coast and the deep south, with an overnight stay in the desert, in a Bedouin tent.  A unique and wonderful place to stay.
