In an attitude of defiant power, the kasbah-mansion perches on the edge of its cliff, daring the wild alive ocean to reach up the rockface and grab it.
Nicole has put all her love of Moroccan buildings and finishes into her southern kasbah: floors are sensual-soft bejmat or old styles tiles, walls are beautifully smooth-hued tadelakt, the patio is wafer bricks, the double-height hall it topped by a great dome, the library is the quiet spot you may need from time to time.
Arches and high, carved antique Marrakchi doors are everywhere, a magnificent four-pillared fireplace brings extra punch to the dining room, the salon, with two more fireplaces, leads, leads out to the great brick terrace and the patio gives the house a perfect heart. Bedrooms, each in a different style ( African, Fassi, Art deco….) have space and comfort to spare, carefully-chosen furnishings and realy super bathrooms. Most have their own terrace.
And at every turn, from every window, a view to die for.
An ideal base for exploring the coast, north and south, and the unsung delights of the Anti-Atlas.
