Beautiful!
Wow what a beautiful place to stay. The huge house is situated in the countryside, 30 minutes from Marrakech centre. Situated in acres of beautiful flourishing gardens which are well kept, a crystal clear inviting pool and sun lounge area. The gated property is secure and not overlooked by anyone. There are bikes you can borrow (we just cycled within the gardens), a pool table and football table. The house comes with pets (they don’t live in the house but within the gardens). There is a dog, a puppy, cat, tortoise, turkey and chickens. All kind, very gentle and extremely well behaved (they don’t step foot inside). We played ball with the dogs but if you are not an animal person they will mind their own business and just lie down or roam the gardens. We spent a week here but wished we had booked longer. At the airport we were greeted by our guardian Hakim. We hired a car and he came with us back to the house to make sure we arrived safely and at the right house. Hakim is a wonderful, kind man. He doesn’t live on-site. Instead he comes to the house in the morning and the afternoon to check if you need anything. He was also our guide so he took us on excursions – some that he suggested and others we did. Hakim will also cook for you (I would strongly recommend that you take him up on this as his dishes are delicious). At the end of your holiday he will present you will a bill for the ingredients he brought for your meals. It is customary to tip him at the end of the holiday. For meals cooked you would pay 5-10 euros / 50-100 dirhams per meal and then for everything else you would also tip him between 5-10 euros / 50-100 dirhams. What you decide to tip is really how involved he is as your guide. We will definitely return!
