MO1296 Villa Rashida

Luxury villa near Marrakech - Villa Rashida is an elegant villa offering home comforts, total relaxation and fabulous views of the Atlas mountains.  Situated near the lively town of Ourika, it is just 30 minutes away from central Marrakech. Part of a small domain with three neighbouring villas, Villa Rashida maintains its secluded privacy and peaceful aspect.

Elegantly furnished in a classic, colonial style with tasteful paintings and period furniture, it also boasts a Moroccan flavour in the use of colourful furnishings and architectural features such as archways and open courtyards. The long L-shaped covered terrace is superb for breakfast or evening dinner, either overlooking the beautifully tended garden or the swimming pool. The covered roof terrace offers shade and affords wonderful views over the Atlas Mountains: a perfect place to read a book. Relax by the pool or, if you feel energetic, the tennis court is only a two-minute walk.

To experience the Moroccan culture and its magical atmosphere your holiday itinerary must include Marrakech, known as the Red City. The Jemaa el F'na square comes alive at night with snake charmers, Henna painters and aromas of sizzling local delicacies.  For a taste of Berber village life visit Agrab just 10 minutes south of Villa Rashida towards the Ourika Valley.  This is the gateway to the tourist route which takes you to the foothills of the Atlas Moutains and offers many great local restaurants and cafes.
