 2016 for a stay in Mar 2016
Wow. Such a beautiful place. 15 minutes drive from the centre of Marrakech but in a secluded rural spot. We loved the gardens, the rooms, the cooking, the pool, the tennis court, the donkeys and the peacocks. We stayed here with our two young children. Sophia catered brilliantly to our needs in advance. Naima was our host and cook while at the villa. Naima's cooking was spectacularly good! Some of the best Moroccan meals we've ever had. We made use of Hassan the driver. Lovely guy. Coming back here mid-afternoon to relax in peace with fresh homemade lemonade after a busy day in Marrakesh is absolute heaven!

This is the first time we have tried a holiday by doing all the arranging...i.e. flights, booking the Villa etc ourselves, as we usually use a tour company...so it was a bit of a risk, a leap into the unknown as we hadn't even been to Morocco before. The description seemed "too good to be true" but to our pleasant surprise, EVERYTHING was as described online. Right from the wonderful Hassan picking us up at Marrakech Airport to the delicious cooking of the lovely Naima. Hassan met us at the airport with a big beaming smile and the sort of welcome usually reserved for family and friends. The warmth of his greeting was, as we were to find out, indicative of the Moroccan people in general. Then when we arrived at the Villa, the Housekeeper Naima was there to greet us with a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. After allowing us to unpack she made us a lovely lunch. Naima's cooking is faultless! Each day she will ask you what type of thing you want for the following day. Some days we had breakfast and dinner and some days we ate out and didn't need her at all. It is a very flexible and non intrusive arrangement. You only pay for the cost of the ingredients and a set price (very reasonable) for her labour of preparing and cooking...and that includes washing and drying up and putting away. All is taken care of. The accommodation is first class, immaculately clean and is cleaned every day from top to bottom whilst we were around the pool. There is a Tennis Court for those with the energy and a Table Tennis Table which we had great fun on.  The Villa is set on an Olive Farm, so is wonderfully peaceful...just the distant call to prayer every now and then. There are numerous fruit trees which we were encouraged to pick from. There is a paddock as well where about 6 gentle donkeys live, so we would regularly buy apples and carrots from the local Carrefour and have a nice stroll in the evening and go and feed them. We live and work in a busy City environment, so wanted a holiday where we could totally "unwind" and still take the odd excursion. I don't see how having to get up at 6 am to get my towel on a sunbed and queue for 10 minutes to get a drink or queue for dinner is a holiday or is going to help us unwind. Atlas Villa was more than anything we wished for. Wonderful hosts, wonderful setting, Pure bliss! WE WILL BE BACK!

Extraordinary retreat with full-time housekeeper!
Rt Ourika Km rt d'agdal, Marrakesh, Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, Morocco 
We booked this villa on a wimp not knowing really what to expect, upon arrival from the airport transfer to the villa estate we were treated like kings on the grounds.. Such a beauty this estate is! Truly a oasis of tranquility and calm surroundings, birds singing, orange fragrance from the flower blossoms in the gardens, fruits hanging from the trees, such a pleasant surprise in all . Naima our dedicated housekeeper was ready to pamper us with delicious treats and welcoming us into our new home to be for the next 10 days. We can't describe enough how beautiful this place is and comforting, its not high tech or glittery senseless decor, its pure simplicity and practical pool villa with every room right at the poolside, its very private and the whole estate was ours to enjoy, Naima's food was a delight and a treat every day, and needless to say that the days flew us by too fast, we are planning to go back next year with the whole family and make use of the tennis court that was finished by the time we left, we highly recommend this villa to anyone who enjoys privacy, nature and great home made food. ideal for couples, friends and family retreat. great location as well.

She is the reason this gem is a success .. I can go on and on but truly this is a hidden gem , you are on your own with discreet service if you want to , everything was top notch. We will go back it feels as our second home already. .. Thank you all for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing

"peaceful, amazing, friendly and charming"
We spent a week last September and I have no words to describe how wonderful is was.
Feeling at home with a touch of luxury, very private but nearby the city, this is definitely the place to stay in Marrakech...
You wake up, no noise but birds singing, a swim in the pool and a walk in the garden its Heaven !
People were very nicely taking care of us, romantic diners outside were just perfect...
I wish I could go back as soon as possible !
