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!

Beautiful villa, very quiet location, amazing pool. We were very well looked after by Jean-Denis and Mohamed during our two week stay in Marrakech.The villa is very spacious and well equipped for a family group with table tennis, a Pétanque court and of course the amazing pool for entertainment and a well stocked kitchen with all the accessories you could need and plenty of glasses etc. The dishwasher was a great addition. We took full advantage of the food prepared by Mina (Mohamed's wife) which we all very much enjoyed - it meant there was very little to no cooking needed while we were on holiday. We did make it into Marrakech a few times to explore the Souk's and to enjoy rooftop dinners in the medina. Mr Hasni the driver was reliable and reasonably priced - we did not need to hire a car.
We stayed with our family, 2 children, 6 adults. The house is very nice, great garden with enough shadow . The communication with the owner is very good, Mohamed is helpfull and friendly. We will come back !

Hello, we appreciated very much your comment, thank you! As you could see, the house is wonderful for holidays, not far from Marrakech city center and the 20m pool is incredible! Welcome again!
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.

Dear Manuela
Thank you for your comments. We are very happy to notice that you appreciated the house, the pool and the gorgeous food from Mohammed's wife. I am sorry that you did not tell us about the dogs barking at night. As you know, we have 3 friendly dogs and it is easy to keep the dogs at the entrance of the property, which is 350 meters away from the house. If we had been informed quickly about the dogs the problem would have been solved in the following minute. I hope that you enjoyed your journey in Morocco as much as you enjoyed your stay at our house. Best regards
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!)

Th pool was 28 degres when you were here… starting march, we swim until november, of course it’scooler but the sun warms it up a bit. Welcome again, there will be new improvements next winter to be ready for a wonderful 2023. By tha way, we made new photos of the inner house with some new deco here and there. A bit of change to become even better. Best regards
Et fantastisk hus med plads til os allesammen. Smukke omgivelser og gode værter. Man er afhængig af bil her for at købe ind. Vi havde en aftale med privat transport.Marokkaner er meget venlige.

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.

Bonjour Mme Cécile, j'ai le plaisir de vous informer que la maison est entièrement rénovée et je vous confirme que les dégats étaient mineurs. Des nouveautés ont même été ajoutées : un hamac de jardin, des équipements de piscine et des plats marocains supplémentaires sur notre menu.
Vous aviez été parfaitement informée par whatsapp avant votre arrivée qu'une salle de bain était endommagée (mais utilisable) et qu'un petit mur non porteur était fissuré. Les cordes dont vous parlez auraient évité au mur de se fissurer davantage en cas de réplique. C'est du simple bon sens mais vous avez préféré y voir un risque majeur et n'écouter que votre propre avis pour ne pas utiliser une chambre et sa salle de bain.
Heureusement vous avez été la seule locataire à vous inquiéter inutilement et aussi la seule à rédiger un commentaire finalement complètement obsolète puisque la maison a rapidement retrouvé son aspect d'origine. Je vous tiendrai informée dès que les nouvelles photos seront disponibles et mises sur notre page instagram ourhousemarrakech.
Séjour dans une magnifique maison avec piscine, entourée d’arbre , de fruits. Maison au calme et gérée par un gardien adorable.

Bonjour Mme Séverine, Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir avec votre famille et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la maison et découvert Marrakech et ses environs. Merci à vous, cordialement.
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.

Bonjour Madame, effectivement votre note ne correspond pas à votre appréciation et je me permets de copier/coller l'email que vous avez envoyé et qui n'apparait pas ici.
Bonsoir,
Je viens de constater qu’une note de 3/5 a été attribuée suite à mon appréciation. Je ne comprends pas cette note car de mémoire, j’ai mis 5/5 partout sauf une fois 4/5.
La note ne reflète aucunement mon ressenti. Le minimum que j’aurai attribué est est 4/5 voire 4,5/5.
Savez vous comment sont gérer ces notes car cette note de 3/5 ne me convient pas du tout et j’aurai souhaité qu’elle soit modifiée.

Super semaine passée dans cette villa a quelques kilomètres du centre de Marrakech, dépaysemente et reposante, la villa ne manque de rien ,profitez de Mohammed le jardinier toujours là pour aider ,sa femme fait d'excellent petit plat très copieux et délicieux ,ne pas hésiter à prendre le service de chauffeur que vous fournira le propriétaire la société est très sérieuse et a bon prix.

Hello, your comment means "Nice place to relax" and I think you are completely right! Some people added "This is the house of happiness" .
Welcome again!
A stunning house, location and all round fabulous holiday!
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 :)

As you could experience it, everything is easy here... our moroccan home made food is great, going to town with the driver is quick, being by the pool in the garden is really relaxing! And the ping pong games between two dives are a real plus! Welcome again!
Installation un peu rustique, mais propriété de caractère typiquement marocaine avec beaucoup de charme et de cachet, perdue au milieu des oliviers.
Environnement remarquable: jardin magnifique, sans vis à vis, piscine de grande classe, sans oublier les tajins de Mohammed le gardien.

Bonjour M Jean-François, je vous remercie pour votre commentaire. Je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié les tagines et les couscous préparés par la femme de Mohamed et livrés sur votre table. La cuisine familiale marocaine est toujours considérée comme étant la meilleure. Cependant je ne comprends pas ce que vous entendez par rustique : la maison est équipée de machines à laver (vaisselle et linge), frigo neuf, gazinière 5 feux, climatisation dans les chambres, lits de 160 cm avec couettes douillettes, chauffage central, etc. Peut-être le fait que l'architecture de cette maison soit inspirée de la tradition marocaine des maisons en terre avec de belles portes en bois sculpté vous semble rustique ? Effectivement les matériaux utilisés sont rustiques : nous avons volontairement choisi de n'utiliser ni béton dans les murs, ni peintures pleines de chimie au profit de matériaux naturels, la terre, la chaux, le bois et les enduits traditionnels marocains comme le tadelakt. Les portes et les plafonds en bois ont souvent été récupérés chez des antiquaires ce qui peut aussi paraitre rustique mais donne à la maison le charme que vous avez apprécié dans le cadre d'un jardin luxuriant au coeur des oliviers.
À 10 mn de Marrakech, la maison est en pleine campagne et comme vous avez pu le voir, il est possible de se baigner dès le mois de mars dans la piscine, certes encore un peu fraiche mais avec le soleil de printemps. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau avec vos amis.
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.
Séjour court mais intense et inoubliable en famille. Nous avons été accueillis avec une très grande gentillesse, disponible. Merci également à Mohamed et sa femme pour la cuisine marocaine, des plats savoureux. La maison typique, fonctionnelle où on se sent vite très bien. Merci encore pour votre chaleureux accueil à tous.

Bonjour Florine, Merci pour votre gentille appréciation. Je me souviens bien de votre arrivée avec vos 7 amies pour ce week-end d’enterrement de vie de jeune fille : A peine descendues du taxi, vous vous êtes exclamées « ouah » c’est magnifique en regardant uniquement la façade de la maison. Et je vous ai dit, « attendez-vous n’avez rien vu ! » Effectivement, tout ici est incroyable, la piscine bien sûr mais aussi ce jardin verdoyant et ombragé avec oliviers, grenadiers, figuiers, citronniers et orangers et surtout cette maison récente mais qui parait ancienne tant les boiseries, meubles et portes sculptées ont été chiné avec goût au fil du temps. Je suis ravie que vous ayez passé un séjour selon vos attentes et apprécié les petits plats marocains préparés pour vous ainsi que la disponibilité et la gentillesse du chauffeur qui vous a emmenées toutes les 8 partout à toute heure du jour et de la nuit ! C’est avec plaisir que je vous accueillerai de nouveau pour de prochains séjours et que je vous conseillerai des adresses de boutiques de déco, des spas ou des programmes d’excursions.

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.

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!

Thank you for your kind comment about your stay in the house. We are delighted that you enjoyed everything! Indeed the house is very easy to access and Mr. Kabir, the taxi driver we advise is very reliable even at late hours. For the meals taken on the spot, we will enrich the proposed menu, so that you can taste other Moroccan specialties during your next stay. Welcome with your family and friends. Receive our best memory!

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...

Chère madame
Je vous remercie pour votre commentaire. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir dans notre petit paradis. Effectivement, pouvoir loger confortablement 7 adultes et 5 enfants était un défi : nous sommes satisfaits de disposer maintenant de lits single et de rideaux opaques dans toutes les pièces. Tout le monde apprécie les tagines et les couscous que nous proposons mais vous avez été les plus gourmands… Grace à votre intérêt pour la cuisine marocaine, nous avons pour la première fois fait préparer les assortiments de salades marocaines qui ont eu du succès. Nous sommes à votre écoute pour d’autres suggestions ! Merci à Oscar, Zoé, Emma, Louise et Zélie qui ont adopté et joué avec le petit chien. Et qui l’ont surnommé Toutou, un nom qu’il continue de porter ! Soyez bienvenus, recevez notre meilleur souvenir.
About the host
Hosted by Jean-Denis Joubert
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.
