A place of quietude to listen to silence, slow down and rediscover that precarious sense of wellbeing. The house sits on the brow of a Berber hamlet (Tagadert) in the Haouz plain, positioned between Marrakech and the High Atlas mountains. It is just 24 kms (15 miles) from the Medieval city, yet a world apart in the peace you will discover.

The house, coverted from a layrinthine string of village dwellings, has eight spacious suites (one of them has two bedrooms, a private courtyard and a small pool), most with open fireplace, some with air-conditioning, that have been built around six separate courtyards. The whole of Tigmi is available on an exclusive basis for celebrating special occasions or by individual suites only. There is a space at every turn - an alcove, covered walkway, terrace, quiet arch, flooded with light, hidden in shadow, hot or cool as the sun passes languidly overhead. There is little to interrupt you: the holler of a shepherd, children playing in the cool alleys of the village.
