What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The six-suite villa is located off the Amizmiz Road, near Marrakech's old city walls, inside three hectares of olive groves, date palms, and jasmine where peacocks roam.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Medina walls sit ten minutes north along Route d'Amizmiz, leaving the surrounding olive orchards quiet.
The rooms
Four suites occupy the main villa and two sit in the garden pavilion, opening onto shaded patios and Moorish arcades.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated mirror pool sits among the olive groves, lined with cushioned loungers and shaded by parasols.
The spa
At the table
A private chef prepares tailored Moroccan dishes, served in the green plaster salon or out beneath the olive trees.
How it began
Architect Charles Boccara built the villa in the 1970s, and its original art collections and photo albums remain in place.
