Breathtaking Atlas Mountain views only an hour away from Marrakech

If you want to wake up to stunning mountain views, then Villa 7 L'Amandier is for you. The sound of birdsong and braying of donkeys is the usual wake-up call with the sun coming up over the mountains and flooding the rooms with light. The front door opens into a large welcoming hall with all the living and bedrooms leading off to either side. The property has two large terraces, one with a plunge pool, the second on the roof, a private garden and use of extensive communal gardens. There is a large communal infinity swimming pool located at the hotel on the complex which is open for our guests' use. The three good-sized bedrooms with air-conditioning open onto an internal courtyard with a fragrant orange tree. Two of the bedrooms have double beds with locally made and sourced furniture with large ensuite bathrooms with a full-sized bath with an overhead shower. The middle bedroom has two single beds furnished with local made furniture and a large shower room. All bedrooms have air-conditioning/heating, hair-dryers, mosquito repellent plugs and black-out curtains to prevent that bright early morning sunshine waking you too early! The sitting and dining rooms, although open plan are separated by a working fireplace. Again all the furniture has been sourced locally and is a mix of antique and modern to reflect the workmanship found in Morocco. Check out the old Berber cupboards in the dining area and entrance hall. We have put in a music centre and dvd player and there are adaptors to take modern pods, etc. Wifi is available. The the sitting and dining rooms and kitchen have floor to ceiling windows which open out onto the terrace with those spectacular views of the mountains. The kitchen is modern and has all mod cons including a dishwasher, coffee making machine, microwave, citrus squeezer and ice-cream maker! We have supplied enough cutlery, crockery and glassware to meet your daily needs as well as unbreakable plates and glasses to take outside. There is a utility room with washing machine and tumbler drier and an iron if you need one! Again we have supplied the villa with sufficient linen, duvets, pillows both feather and micro-fibre, towels to suit all needs from sun-bathing and hair-towels to bath sheets, hand towels and flannels. We have anticipated the changes in weather, yes it does get cold in the winter months, so there are summer and winter weight duvets and flat sheets for those boiling hot nights. The villa has been lovingly furnished with modern and antique pieces sourced in Morocco. The secluded private garden is filled with birdsong and colourful plants with lawned areas on which to relax and a sunken area with kadai fire bowl. Sun-loungers and umbrellas allow you to relax in the sun, a large table and chairs invite you to enjoy alfresco meals. A bespoke fountain created by London based Lucy Smith plays in the garden which encourages wild life. The views from the villa encompass not only the breath-taking mountains but also two plateaux on which the local shepherds graze their sheep and goats. At night, there is no light pollution so the sky is very, very dark and the stars feel so close that you could almost pick them out of the sky. It is not uncommon to watch your own spectacluar shooting star show while enjoying a glass or two of wine. Villa 7 is one of 13 privately owned villas set on a plateau in the Toubkal National Park surrounded by the breath-taking Altlas Mountains. We can highly recommend that you visit the Domaine de la Roseraie about 4 kms from the villa to sample their hospitality sipping tea or wine in their gardens, dipping in their pool or taking in lunch or dinner. We usually walk down to the Roseraie and get a local taxi to bring us back to the villa! Its good to book as dining times can be a bit on the rigid side! Another good place to visit and enjoy is Sir Richard Branson's Kasbah Tamadot at Asni. A very special place with large dining terraces, spa, two great pools and its own "zoo" with camels, donkeys and goats. At the same time visit Eve Branson's shop to purchase some authentic pieces made in Morocco to support her several local charities. Recently opened is Olinto Resort Hotel in Marigha, just a shortish walk down to the village. Our guests are welcome to sample their cuisine and bar as well as enjoying their beautiful landscaped gardens. While staying at L'Amandier, staff are on hand to help with any bookings for near-by or further afield trips ranging from booking a hamman and spa treatments at the Kasbah Tamadot, horse riding at the Domaine de la Roseraie or local trekking to trips down to Marrakech or to the desert or ocean. On your arrival you will receive a simple welcome pack of food and bottled water (please let us know if you have any special needs) and there is a local market and shops in Asni about 20 minutes drive away but we advise stopping en route from Marrakech at Carrefour an excellent supermarket to stock up on supplies, especially alcohol which is not readily available in the Mountains, to meet your daily needs. Villa 7 is self-catering but if you run out of essentials, just tell Abdou at L'Amandier and he can easily arrange for replenishments. L'Amandier is off the beaten track, about 2k from the main road to Ouirgane so having a hire car would be useful but not essential as there are some extremely good and reliable local taxis who are happy to take you on your journeys. For transfers to and from the airport, we can recommend our good friend Mohamed Ait Douch who runs Exotic Lines Travels and he and his competent drivers and modern vehicles can be relied on to get you to and from Marrakech to the Mountains safely. Or further afield to explore Morocco to the full. He is completely trustworthy and speaks several languages including English and French. Marrakech, which feels like a world away with is vibrant Medina and lifestyle, is only just over an hours' drive from the villa. Sir Richard Branson's Kasbah Tamadot, well worth a visit, 20 minutes down the road on the outskirts of Asni on the Imlil Road. This part of Morocco offers a myriad of things to do from the total "not doing anything" to let's go zip-riding or hang-gliding, golf or even skiing. So if you are adventurous or more cautious there is always something to keep you busy. The moods of the mountains are constantly changing ranging from the snow topped peaks in the winter months through to massive thunderstorms with great flashes of lightening, from the bright green of spring to the deep reds of the summers. The earth coloured Berber villages nestling into the mountainsides are barely visible to the naked eye but they are all around clustered onto the steepest slopes. The Berber people themselves are incredibly friendly and delightful. Make friends with them and you will be invited into their homes to meet their families and learn about their lives. But why restrict yourselves to just one area, break your visit into two destinations and spend time in the bustle of Marrakech or by the seaside at Essouira or Meknes the fertile area that produces fruit, vegetables, wine and roses. Or even visit the desert and take a camel ride and spend time in a Berber tent. There is so much to try and discover in this amazing country.

Très bonne semaine coupée du monde

Magnifique villa avec tout le confort et l’equipement possible . Joliement décoré . Seul hic la piscine ne fait pas pas partie de la villa comme pourrait laisser croire les photos mais de l’hotel Qui se trouve à l’entrée du complexe . Elle est donc à partager . Sur la propriétée il y a seulement le petit bassin . Tout le personnel est très serviable , discret et fort sympathique

Wonderful villa and gardens, great mountain views and stunning night skys

We stayed from October 18th to 25th. We were a little concerned with the weather when we landed early morning at Marrakech as it was cloudy and a little cool, we shouldn't have been as other than the first day the daytime temperatures were always in the 80s and sometimes even low 90s fahrenheit with very little cloud. The villa was spacious, tastefully decorated and very well equipped in all areas. Beds comfortable, water pressure good in all bathrooms, towels in all shapes and size of good quality, everything you could need in the kitchen, a dvd player with dvds provided and a small music system. Our only minor complaint would be is that you can not connect to the wi-fi from the villa, for this you would have to go closer to the hotel (where the wi-fi signal comes from) The hotel is not currently open but will be a great asset when it is as you could then eat and grab a drink there if you did not fancy cooking or going further afield. There are 13 villas in total and I would say Villa 7 has the best position by far and as a result of this also the best views, the gardens of the villa were beautiful with plenty of flowers still in bloom and plenty of bird song with lots of exotic birds regularly visiting the gardens and terrace, including an extremely tame Levaillants woodpecker and a very chatty group of Bulbuls. The roof terrace had great views and was ideal for star gazing, we saw shooting stars on most nights.The communal gardens were also lovely to stroll around and the team of gardeners that maintain them always friendly. Would recommend a tagine and some couscous from Abdou and his team rather than going to the Domaine de la Roseraie, it was much tastier and a fraction of the cost. Abdou was always on hand to pick up local shopping for us and offer and advice as was his brother Saiid who I enjoyed many interesting and varied conversations with. All in all a wonderfully relaxing week in late October with plenty of sun yet only 3-4 hours away from London.Think we might pop back when the hotel is open so we can have an even lazier week than we had !

"A little paradise near Marrakech"

What's to say ? If you dream of comfort , this place is what you need . It's a very spacious villa , clean and tidy. L'Amendier resort is located in Ouirgane, a small area about 60 km from Marrakech. We stayed here 3 nights with my family in the summer , we were all satisfied and we could relax in complete privacy . So the house is magnificent with a nice atmosphere and calm guaranteed , there is a well air-conditioner and parking outside . The kitchen is well equipped and contains everything you will need, as well as good products . There is a dining room , three lovely rooms , 3 spacious bathrooms and well-equipped with heated towel rails , and hairdryers are also provided . The private garden is filled with birdsongs and colored plants. The house has a terrace with swimming pool and a second on the roof . You can also have access to the large swimming pool at the hotel with its splendid view that overlooks the great mountains. In the evening , you can admire the very dark sky on the deck chairs as well as the beautiful bright stars . Finally ,I recommend to everyone to visit this little paradise far from any pollution and noises , and it was for us a nice memory and good experience . Hope to come back once in the future .

Beautiful house in a marvellous environment

We stayed here in the summer for a week with our 3 kids, and enjoyed every day of it… The house is marvellous en very tasteful decorated, kitchen well provided even 2 Tajine pots so we could not resist to make this meal once for ourselves. On the terrace, there is a small pool to cool down a nice view on the mountains and garden full of flowers. 300m from the house is a large and nice swimming pool with nice view also. In the night, the sky was breath-taking full of stars We could not have a better place to explore the Atlas region and Marrakech. Hope to come back once. Filip & Trude

Super villa in staggering location near Marrakech

L’Amandier resort in the Atlas Mountains will, once completed, consist of 12 villas and a boutique hotel. It is scheduled to open as a fully functioning resort later this year, although the swimming pool is usable now. Villa No 7, where I was lucky enough to spend a few days in February, is probably in the best location being at the far end of the complex with a neighbouring villa only on one side. From its rear terrace there are the most staggering views up to the mountains which, when I was there, were snowcapped – a fabulous feature against a blue, blue sky. The villa has three double bedrooms looking on to a pretty central courtyard, each one with its own large bathroom. The very generously proportioned main living area runs the length of the rear of the house, with floor to ceiling glass doors leading on to a west facing terrace with a plunge pool, looking on out to that fabulous view. No better place from which to watch the sunset over the mountains, unless perhaps from the roof terrace above, with its intimate Bedouin-style pergola. Quality modern furnishings, along with a fully fitted kitchen, give Villa No 7 a contemporary feel, with some standout locally sourced pieces to remind us that Morocco is a country rich in traditional craftsmanship as well as glorious landscapes. I can’t wait to go back!

The ultimate Atlas mountain base camp!

Mid-winter in the Atlas foothills - birdsong in the flowering hedges, amazing star watching on the terrace, blazing fires in the fire place, wonderful Moroccan meals prepared by attentive staff, morning dips in the pool, walks through Berber villages, longer hikes across the hills, mountains all around - and always the comfortable villa to return to. We couldn't have found a better base camp for our month of Moroccan explore and the villa is fresh, beautiful and well appointed inside and out.
