Gorgeous Bohemian village retreat in fabulous spot one one hour from Marrakech | House in Ouirgane
2 Bedroom House in Ouirgane
On the edge of the Toubkal National Park, a gorgeous restored, ecological and super stylish 19th Century Berber house in its own lovely plant filled garden, at the end of a private path - private yet not at all remote and only one hour from Marrakech!
A very rare opportunity to experience rural life in very comfortable surroundings.
A short stroll will plunge you in fields and on rural paths, where a centuries old life style still carries on. The views as you wander further up the village are stunning. Groves of almond, olive and pomegranate are present with blossom and scent filling the air for a significant period of the year.
A perfect base to explore the region, where history and nature combine to enrich your trip, or to simply relax.
FOOD AND DINING:
Half board (breakfast and one other meal) is available as room service. 150 Dh per person per day (Children aged 7-12 100 Dh). Delicious Berber and Moroccan food using mostly home grown organic ingredients.
Well equipped kitchen for your cooking needs.
Food is also available locally in hotel restaurants, as well a bar at La Roseraie, a luxury hotel and a wonderful place to have an aperitif in the afternoon and make the most of its stunning setting. It is approximately 5 minutes walk away.
EXPLORING ON FOOT:
An excellent guide is available there at short notice, the cost for this guide is 100 Dh per hour with a minimum of two hours. Mules can also be hired.
Swimming is usually available in hotel pools nearby, for a charge or if you have lunch depending on the establishment.
General Information : Marrakech Airport 37 miles (1 hour by taxi). Taxis can be arranged in advance for 600 Dh one way. This is much cheaper than at the airport. Car hire is available at the airport. The journey is for the most part spectacular as you head southwards towards the Atlas and then wind your way up to Ouirgane, which lies at 1000 metres above sea level. Private taxis can easily be arranged in house to go to Marrakech, for day trips in the region or elsewhere.
Asni 8 miles. Marigha 2 miles. Marrakech 40 miles. Tin Mal mosque (1 hour). Taroudant (4 hours) through the Tizn Test mountain pass, the highest in Morocco. Stunning scenery all the way!
Day trips can be arranged in house to all these locations and many more, including Oukaimeden. Treks can also be arranged as well, as and when.
Food and Dining: Well equipped kitchen for your cooking needs. Meals are available in local cafes and restaurants, also a bar at La Roseraie, a luxury hotel that is five minutes away on foot, a wonderful place to have an aperitif in the afternoon and make the most of its stunning setting.
More developed amenities and banks are available in Asni or Tahanaoute, both within a half hour drive. Asni, the main village in the area, leads to Imlil, which lies at the end of a stunning road, which also passes Richard Branson's luxurious Kasbah Tamadot, the drive is stunning.
Climate in Ouirgane: The climate in Ouirgane is ideal from early spring to late autumn. The Summers are much more gentle than in Marrakech and the plains, and although it can get hot in July and August, it is rare for it to become uncomfortable. The Winters are gentle in the day when the sun is shining but can be cold in the mornings and evening. In December and January the nights can be very cold. There are electric radiators in the main rooms to fight the winter. It must be noted that due to the Moroccan design of houses there is an internal courtyard that is open to the sky and therefore the heating is not like in centrally heated properties In the UK and Europe. If you are adverse to some chill then December and January are best avoided although the house is still very cosy.
The night skies can be stunning, with very little light pollution. Shooting stars are a regular occurrence!
The house is perfect for those who want to experience a different side to Morocco without being isolated while staying in a fully refurbished Berber house with exceptional style, and for those who love to wander in nature and admire a centuries old social and agricultural landscape. It is an ideal base to explore the varied surroundings and to combine it with a stay in Marrakech.
