Villa Alexandra - Marrakech

Villa Alexandra is the perfect location for a carefree family holiday. Ideal for all ages, this comfortably casual villa is made up of three structures: the main house built in the 1930s, the pavilion added on in the 1970s, and the more recent pool house. This property is set on a four acre walled garden filled with palms, olives, citrus trees and endless fragrant rose beds. It has a clay tennis court and a swimming pool with an adjoining pergola which serves as an idyllic setting for shady lunches. The spacious roof terrace with its table and cushioned area is a favourite spot for pre-dinner drinks and late evening gatherings.

In the main house, four large double bedrooms have overhead fans and ensuite bathrooms. The salon and dining room, upholstered in local fabrics and silks, much like the rooms, are also cool and airy given the villa's thick walls and high ceilings. Two further double bedrooms are located in the Pavilion, and both are air conditioned, sharing between them a bathroom and kitchenette.

The staff will look after everything, namely all your exquisite meals, which are included in Villa Alexandra's weekly rates. The property is completely private and only a twenty minute drive from the busy centre of Marrakech with its palaces, gardens, markets and mosques.
