A wonderful countryside property away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Having suffered the usual naff UK summer my family and I were longing for the Autumn sun (of which Morocco has an abundance). From the outset Jean was a great help, promptly answering all our questions. Jean was also a fantastic host and of great help when the Moroccan government changed their COVID policy; thank you Jean.
The property is a lovely traditional retreat with everything one needs for a family holiday. Our kids loved the 20m pool which is perfectly located amongst Olive trees to provide useful shelter from the afternoon sun (the weather became hotter as they day went on). There was also plenty of areas should you want to top up on the tan! The property remained cool throughout the day and benefits from a sheltered tennis table which was extensively used during the hottest parts of the day.
Mohammed, who looks after the property, is a great individual – whilst his English is limited, we had no issues communicating with the assistance of some rusty GCSE French, Google translate and pointing. Jean was also on hand via Whatsapp if required. The cooking provided by Mohammed’s wife, wow, so good and as tasty as anything you’ll find in the restaurants of Marrakesh. Food always arrived on time, was reasonably priced, and always plentiful….a real treat. Kebir (the taxi driver) was also on hand, so a car was not required during our stay.
The extensive grounds are also home to several cats and probably the friendliest dogs I’ve ever come across in my life………. they’re missed.
Highly recommended……whilst some may enjoy the liveliness of Marrakesh, being only 15 km from the city you’re not far away if you fancy a place to relax, whilst being close enough to explore.
Thanks again Jean and good luck for the future.
