This spectacular, fully-staffed villa sleeping 12 - 14 is close to the vibrant and cultured city of Marrakech and provides an ideal balance between the excitement of this unique city and the tranquillity of the Ourika valley at the foothills of the Atlas mountains. The villa is set within six hectares of mature gardens, olive grove and orchard and features an infinity pool with spectacular views. Those wishing to completely relax and unwind, will find the stunning setting of this Kasbah idyllic.
Marrakesh is only 35 minutes drive to the south, and the outdoor activities of the verdant Ourika Valley are on your doorstep. The five full time staff will look after you during your stay, including a chauffeur to take you into town, and a full-time chef to prepare up to three meals a day from fresh local ingredients. The charming village of Tnine D’Ourika is a five minute drive away, where the famous and lively Monday market brings Berber traders from across the mountain region. Locally, there is a range of outdoor activities, including walks from the front gate into the foothills, to beautiful waterfalls, golf, quad biking, water skiing, water park, hot air ballooning and horse and camel riding.
The house is generously laid out with six/seven bedrooms, spacious entertaining spaces and an impressive swimming pool. On the main floor there is a comfortable living room with large fireplace, a large dinning room with a round table seating 14 and a fireplace for cooler months. This floor also contains a large independent suite; a second suite consisting of two bedrooms and a bathroom; a guest loo; and an exceptionally large hallway with separate seating area and backgammon table. Upstairs, each in their own tower, there are two extra-large suites with bathrooms, dressing areas, and large private terraces with stunning views towards Marrakech and to the mountains. Downstairs, there is a large TV room, with a wide collection of games and DVD, and a separate double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Two extra children can also be accommodated in the TV room in two single beds.
Food
A full-time chef can serve three meals a day, relying on local fresh ingredients from a range of both international and Moroccan menu plans. Breakfast is served in the courtyard with homemade bread and local pancakes from our home grown wheat, along with a selection of jams made from our orchard, fresh fruit and eggs.
Lunch can be served poolside, with fresh salads, fish and homemade deserts. Dinner, depending on the time of year, can either be served in the large dinning room at a round table seating 12/ 14 in front of the fire, or on the terrace under the arbour.
Guests can select from a menu plan, and will be given advice from the chef on seasonal and regional specialities.
