Just 7kms south along the coast from the centre of Essaouira, is an elegant country house set on a hillside surrounded by spacious lawns and enjoying panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding Berber countryside. This spacious private villa is bright and airy and has been tastefully decorated throughout, combining a contemporary décor with traditional colourful furnishings. Villa Alizee offers five comfortable en suite double bedrooms; three rooms with their own private terrace (two also have sea views) and two with their own sitting area and fireplace.
With its peaceful setting and distant sea views, Villa Alizee is the perfect retreat to come to and unwind and recharge your batteries. There are plenty of places to sit and relax; a comfortable lounge with inviting open-fireplace, ideal for winter evenings or several garden terraces where you can take breakfast or dine out under the stars or simply sit and enjoy the views. The walled garden offers a lot of space for outdoor living, and also provides a secure place for young children to play. At the heart of the garden is a wonderful swimming pool with sun loungers and a traditional Moroccan tent, where guests can retreat into the shade.
Yet the attractions of lively Essaouira are only a short drive away, where a walk through the Medina will take you past the fascinating Souks, lively cafés and restaurants to the sandy beach and historic port. A new 9 hole golf course has recently opened not far away from the house, so Villa Alizee is also well placed for golf enthusiasts. Minimum 3 nights stays except at Christmas and New Year when a minimum of 5 nights is required (and 7 nights during the June Gnaou Festival).
