About this property

5 BEDROOM VILLA - NOT OVERLOOKED - SECURE SWIMMING POOL - NEAR MARRAKECH

Hello! Welcome to discover this unique villa in Marrakech. The photos are from 2022, but more are on our insta page: ourhousemarrakech. You'll be able to enjoy the gentle days in the garden, by the pool and feel the positive energy emanating from the house's earthen walls.

But first a word about the earthquake of September 08, 2023, which devastated villages in the Atlas Mountains, 80 km from Marrakech. The structure and walls of the house were not affected, only the wall coverings, plaster and other Moroccan tadelakts cracked. At the beginning of 2024, 3 weeks of minor work restored the house to its former glory.

We have a regular clientele who return regularly and book up to a year in advance. This is a sure sign.

This house was made for you to love it. It's a house surrounded by olive trees in a Provencal natural setting, and the guarantee of a sunny vacation in the countryside (but close to the city) and... not overlooked.

And what praise and 5 stars in the comments! For the quality of our welcome, our availability, the beauty of the house, simple but warm, the shady garden, the meals prepared on request. In Morocco, it's said that the best cuisine is home cooking, and it's true!

4 double beds and 3 single beds in 5 rooms, with the possibility of adding single beds in the small lounges adjoining the rooms. We have 5 air-conditioned bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The house is ideal for 11 people, but has already been fitted out for a family of 14, including 6 children.

The house was designed by an architect with a passion for Moroccan earth construction. Built between 2006 and 2008, it is inspired by the kasbahs of southern Morocco and respects the tradition of Moroccan houses... but with all the comforts of contemporary homes, including air conditioning and central heating, which is rare in Marrakech.

Just 20 minutes from the airport and Marrakech medina (the Carrefour supermarket is a 10-minute drive away), this charming house with large swimming pool (20 m x 4 m) is set in a 1.5-hectare olive grove, planted with 200 olive trees and embellished by a garden of orange, apricot, fig and pomegranate trees.

The property is ideal for families and groups of friends, with its vast landscaped garden: a 300 m track for rollerblading and scootering, a ping-pong table and the possibility of playing pétanque (boules provided). The swimming pool is secured by an attractive bamboo fence.

It's also perfect for romantic getaways, with its discreet nooks and crannies.

First floor: large living room (fireplace) and dining room seating up to 12, small living room (fireplace), small dining room seating 4.
First floor: 4 bedrooms opening onto the garden, one with private shower room (the other three share a shower room).
Upstairs, a large bedroom with lounge and dressing room, bathroom (bath + shower) and large terraces with Atlas views.
Terraces for dining or lounging surround the house.

Visitors to Marrakech are always surprised by the contrast between the hustle and bustle of the noisy medina and the calm of the houses (riads or other) they enter. When you return to the villa after an excursion to the medina, you'll be struck by the same contrast... but with the chance to take a dip in the swimming pool surrounded by nature's bounty.

From early June to late September, the pool water temperature is between 27° and 29°. But you can also swim from March to November. In March, the water is at 20° and begins its slow ascent to 29° in August.

Living the Moroccan Art de Vivre in our home also means enjoying a unique experience: feasting on Moroccan flavors and aromas. On request, your Moroccan meals will be prepared by a cook at her home in the village and delivered to the house at the agreed mealtime.

On the menu, of course, the famous tagines (choice of 8) and couscous (choice of 3), but also tanjia marrakchia (a dish of beef or lamb with lemon), trid (a rare specialty of chicken served with lentils and Moroccan pancakes), harira (a coriander soup), etc.... Fresh bread (the family bread, belbout), crêpes, msemen, etc. are also available daily.
In the kitchen, on arrival, you'll find spices and olive oil from the garden. In the garden, mint is available for Moroccan tea, as well as chiba (wormwood), louiza (verbena) and rosemary, which give the tea a very special flavor.

From the orchard, too, depending on the season, lemons, oranges, apricots (June), pomegranates (October), quinces (October), figs (July/August)...

Living the Moroccan Art de Vivre in our home also means appreciating the true meaning of hospitality. Arriving late? We'll plan your meal together, so you don't have to go shopping right away.

Do you need advice and good addresses? We'll provide you with a city map showing the best addresses of the moment.
Would you like to take a trip with a helpful driver? We've got you covered.

What to visit in the medina? Do you have to bargain? Should you go to the souks? We'll give you a thousand and one answers to your thousand and one questions. In Morocco for over 15 years, Moroccan hospitality holds no secrets for us.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Anne

Beautiful house with fantastic pool near Marrakech

The house is large and full of lovely details. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and the lovely food prepared by Mohammed's wife. The owners are very attentive and communication is perfect. The house is about 20 minutes from Marrakech centre and the description is very accurate. The only drawback was the barking of the two (very friendly) dogs almost all nights long.

Away from the hustle and bustle

Definitely an oasis and a piece of heaven on earth for those who are seeking tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. The house is beautifully designed, very Moroccan, located near a tiny village and several mosques. And we (a group of 8) can confirm the friendliness of the three dogs, as well as of guard and gardener Mohamed, whose wife Mina prepares delicious meals on request. Tenants should be aware that they stay approx. 20 to 30 minutes away (by car) from the supermarket (Carrefour) and city. However, arrangements can easily be made with driver Asni, who is very reliable and a great, friendly chauffeur. Though the mattresses on the beds in the house are hard and not very comfortable, it is a nice place to stay for those who like to combine activity (city, golf) and relaxation.

Beautiful, calm and peaceful - a little slice of paradise!

We had the most wonderful summer staying at this beautiful house and we're so happy to add to the long list of positive reviews because this place is exceptional! So much thought has gone in to preparing this house for guests and it really felt like our own home for the time we were there . Anne and Jean were so helpful throughout the entire booking process and beyond - Jean was always available by whatsapp to answer any questions and help us with anything we needed. Thank you so much, Jean and Anne ! I loved how peaceful and tranquil it is - yet you're not far from the buzz of the Medina should you wish to pop out for a meal or shopping. Supermarkets nearby too , so you can simply stock the place with food and just spend your days round their amazing (very clean!) pool if you'd rather not venture out. And what a fabulous pool they have ! We would easily spend around 5 or 6 hours out there each day. Mohamed looks after the grounds of the property and discreetly pops in to water the land everyday and to ensure everything is ok. There is so much land you honestly don't know he is there , but we would always look forward to hearing his motorbike through the gate and the children were always to happy to see him. Mohamed is the warmest, smiliest person and always available to help with anything. His wife also cooks the most amazing dishes which you can pre order each day. Such a brilliant set up and means you can have some authentic moroccan food delivered straight to your kitchen. There are 3 dogs on the property (Mohamed looks after them) and they are the friendliest dogs i've ever met. I don't know how they have been trained to be so accepting and affectionate to guests and yet still be alert to outside noises (it is a very safe area - i simply mean there are likely to be some stray dogs or cats lingering outside the gate which they pick up on). The dogs are quiet, and the children adored them. There are also some lovely cats pottering about who don't come in to the property but they do hang out on the porch outside and we loved spending time with them. It really was a little bubble of paradise and we miss it. The house is fantastic and Marrakesh itself is such a great place to visit. We hope to stay again very soon. Thanks again, Jean and Anne (and Mohamed!) Sarah & family x

Vacances à Marrackech

La maison était vraiment bien située dans un très beau cadre, malheureusement l’état de la maison, suite au séisme, n’a pas été précisément décrit par le propriétaire qui a minimisé les dégâts. Nous n’avons pas pu profiter entièrement de la maison, car une chambre et une salle de bain étaient vraiment très fissurées, un pan de mur était endommagé et menaçait de tomber, sécurisé par des cordes! Nous avons dû revoir la répartition des chambres pour les deux familles.Le propriétaire nous affirmé qu’il avait fait réaliser une expertise mais nous n’étions quand même pas rassurés. De plus nous aurions souhaité connaître exactement les dégâts et ne pas les découvrir à notre arrivée… malgré tout, l’extérieur était splendide et nous a permis de passer de bons moments, la gentillesse de Mohamed, le jardinier a participé également à ce bien-être.

Excellent séjour à Marrakech

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la propriété qui est situé à une vingtaine de minutes du centre de Marrakech. La maison est conforme à la description. Le cadre, l’environnement et la piscine de la propriété au milieu d’un beau jardin nous ont permis de bien nous détendre. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la piscine et sa surface exceptionnelle de 20m de longueur. Ça a été un véritable bonheur de pouvoir nager dedans. Merci au propriétaire pour son accueil chaleureux et sa patience lors de notre arrivée plus tardive que prévu. Nous reviendrons sûrement.

An amazing house, so well equipped and beautiful. The gardens are stunning. The pool is brilliant. We all loved the table tennis! Mohammed's wife cooks delicious tagine and delivers on his moped at very short notice. Only 20 minutes into Marrakech with Hasni available also at short notice! We had the most lovely relaxing time and ventured out into the city, up into the Atlas mountains and made the super early start to go on a hot air balloon which was the most incredible experience! We would love to come back :)

Super stay

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.

Beautiful Riad

The photos don't do justice to how beautiful and spacious this riad is - we stayed as a group of eight friends and had the most wonderful time. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, there's lots of communal space both inside and out, and even a fireplace for cold evenings. Anne-Joubert responded to all our questions beforehand while Jean Denis met us to show us round and make sure we had everything we needed. The food, cooked by Mohammed's wife, was exceptional, a real treat. We will definitely return next year.

Séjour idyllique dans une villa de grand confort

Nous avons passé quatre jours merveilleux dans cette villa. Confort (cuisine toute équipée, piscine où l'on peut nager, chambres spacieuses, vaste jardin), situation (à 20min en voiture de Marrakech), tout était parfait. La possibilité de commander à manger (il faut tester le tajine aux olives et citrons confits de la femme de Mohamed, le gardien) est un vrai plus. Bref, une maison idéale pour qui souhaite passer plusieurs jours au calme, dans un décor typique et agréable, entouré d'oliviers. Sans oublier la gentillesse et la disponibilité de Jean-Denis et Anne-Claire, les propriétaires, qui ont tout fait pour rendre notre séjour facile et reposant. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter!

Beautiful house and pool

This house is absolutely gorgeous, as seen in the photos. My friends and I enjoyed dining outside both by the pool and in the shady area by the kitchen. The housekeeper brought us dinner cooked by his wife and it was delicious! We had 5 adults staying in the house and there was plenty of space. It was very easy to get to and from Marrakech and even a tour of the mountains with our driver Kabir! Kabir was so accommodating, and we were able to plan our rides with him the day before and then text him if we were running late. Great hosts as well, who are very responsive. It was definitely one of my most memorable vacations. I’d love to return one day with my family. Thanks again!

Très agréable séjour !

Nous avons passé un très beau séjour dans cette villa typiquement marocaine, spacieuse et adaptée à notre grande famille. Nous remercions les propriétaires pour leur accueil et la mise en place de lits pour accueillir chaque famille avec ses enfants. La piscine ombragée et le terrain ont permis à chacun de passer de bonnes vacances. Nous avons apprécié la proximité de Marrakech et le calme du lieu sans vis à vis. Une voiture est cependant utile. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de Mohamed, très serviable et disponible. Toute la famille s'est régalée avec les plats marocains proposés et les différents pains locaux préparés par la femme de Mohamed. Nous avons passé une excellente semaine et espérons pouvoir revenir...

A wonderful experience!

Situated midway between Marrakesh and the Ourika Valley the house sits within large, private grounds in a very quiet area with only the calls to prayer breaking the silence. We spent a truly wonderful week here and as the days went by appreciated more and more it's simplicity of build and style. With temperatures reaching 47 degrees the ample tree cover in the garden and the air con in the bedrooms was welcomed. The pool, a fabulous 20x4 metres, was fully utilised throughout. Our hosts, Anne-Clare and Jean Denis, were always on hand to give us advice and help and the wonderful caretaker, Mohammed, magically appeared with the produce of his garden or his Berber dishes. A great holiday and a great experience

About the host

Hosted by Anne Joubert

Host profile image
We are in Morocco since 2003 and founded a family-run publishing company. We release guides, books, maps and postcards. Since we are very familiar with the region, we are happy to share good addresses and our favourite places. We love nature, hiking, reading, listening to music, photography and authentic landmarks.

Why they chose this property

We chose this place for its quietness and greenery: a quiet olive grove in the middle of fields. Inspired by the Berber tradition we built our house with adobe so that coolness in summer and warmth in winter are guaranteed. In addition, there are a terrace in the sun, Mashrabiya windows and an arbour made of cane. Modern comfort is guaranteed. The house is perfectly equipped and the windows open onto nature to benefit at its best.

What makes this property unique

Absolutely peaceful, the garden is a true oasis and an ideal place to relax far from the crowd. With its abundance of space, both indoor and outdoor, the house is very pleasant to live in for families: small and large living rooms, terrace in the shade or in the sun. Whether Berber, African or Arab-Andalusia, the simple but cosy decoration was inspired of the influences that embossed the Moroccan culture.
