Description
The property, once one of the residences of the former pasha of Marrakech, El Glaoui, has been refurbished to an extremely high standard with rigorous respect for the Andalusia style, whilst paying great attention to modern accessories in order to obtain the highest levels of comfort. One of the gates opens into a garden with palms; two old cypresses soar to the sky and bougainvillea climb across giant pergolas. In the centre of this beautiful garden is an Andalusia style pool thirteen meters long, tiled with an intricate mosaic design. The sound of water splashing from a white Carrara marble fountain and the song of the birds in the trees create an atmosphere of perfect tranquillity in the heart of the medina. All around the garden is a typical fondouk style cloister with at the end, a large music-reception room with a splendid painted cedar wood ceiling and a floor of white marble interlaced with local jelliges mosaic. The room is decorated with important modern paintings, a fireplace to warm chilly winter nights and to complete the room a hi-fi and a perfectly tuned art deco Pleyel grand piano for our music loving guests. On the garden side is large formal Arab courtyard, with a magnificent wall fountain in mosaic. In the centre of the black and white marble floor is another white Carrara fountain on a bed of multi-coloured Moroccan mosaics surrounded by four orange trees. To the side is a loggia opposite the dining room with fire place, a white marble floor, painted cedar ceiling, a selection of modern paintings and a long parade table in cedar which seats twelve. The remaining rooms on the ground floor are the white marble Hammam and the adjoining relaxation room where a professional massage can be arranged for guests. There is a unique view of the medina and the Atlas mountains from the two terraces which are sheltered partially with wooden pergolas and surrounded by large terracotta flower vases. Tables, comfortable armchairs with cushions and teak chaises-longues allow guests to enjoy breakfast and candle lit dinners, as well as to sunbathe during the day. On one of the terraces a pavilion overlooking the Atlas Mountains with Moroccan sofas, cushions and lamps, which provides total seclusion. Riyad Al Moussika has a large, well-equipped kitchen and pantry allowing guests to enjoy a range of Moroccan, Italian and French recipes prepared by a resident Cordon Bleu Chef who has the gift of meeting the culinary needs of every guest.
