Villa H
Set in the heart of the Golden Triangle, the most sought-after area of Marrakech’s Palmeraie, this property is one of the city’s earliest historic villas. Conceived in the 1960s as their family home by renowned French interior designer Jacqueline Foissac and Spanish painter Alejandro Reino, it reflects their artistic sensibility and deeply personal vision of Marrakech.
Romantic and intimate, the house captures the spirit of a mythical era, when the city became a magnet for artists, designers and international personalities.
Moorish-inspired, the main villa spans approximately 600 sqm and unfolds around a luminous central patio. High ceilings and beautifully balanced proportions create generous volumes without ever compromising the intimacy of the house. Zellige, tadelakt, painted woodwork and traditional Moroccan craftsmanship contribute to its distinctive character and charm.
Over the years, celebrated designer Bill Willis also left his artistic signature on the property, notably through a remarkable sculptural fireplace, garden arches and various architectural details that further enhance its singular identity.
The main house offers six en-suite bedrooms, including a beautiful principal suite on the upper floor with its own private terrace. A traditional hammam completes the interiors.
Outside, the magnificent 1.3-hectare landscaped grounds are one of the property’s defining features. Palms, centuries-old olive trees and exceptional mature trees create a lush and secluded setting, home to a heated swimming pool and a pétanque court.
The property further includes an independent two-bedroom guest house, with its own living room and open-plan kitchen, as well as several pavilions offering the potential for additional bedrooms. Staff accommodation completes the estate. Depending on the project, the configuration could allow for approximately ten bedrooms in total.
Yet perhaps its greatest luxury is its rarity. At a time when these historic Palmeraie houses are gradually disappearing, this property has preserved its architecture, human scale and, above all, its soul.
Whether envisioned as an exceptional family home, a discreet private residence or the ideal setting for an intimate boutique hotel, the property retains the romance, elegance and singular atmosphere of a Marrakech that is increasingly difficult to find.
