Maison des Arganiers

 

In the hillside village of Azrarag, our whitewashed stone house extends to terraces poised over the argan valley extending for miles below. Until recently a douar to house goats, the living room now claims a stone fireplace, Argentine rugs and custom seating from Paris. Under woven timber ceilings, all three en-suite bedrooms welcome with hand-embroidered bed linens and conveniences like heating and air-conditioning.

 

Herders call out “Salam” as they head home for evening’s call to prayer. At this tiny hamlet in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by authentic Berber village life, we have been made to feel truly at home.
