Charming 19th Century Fondouk located in the noble part of the Medina.

Fondouks or Funduqs also known as Caravanserais were historic buildings that were traditionally used to accommodate travelers and their animals, as well as store their goods, during their trading journeys between sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa.

The property is structured around four courtyards and patios, one opening to a vast swimming pool. The buildings are traditional in style and eco-friendly, mainly because of the sustainable and locally sourced materials used (in the first place, clay). The established fruit trees and many outdoor areas offer a tranquil reprieve in Taroudant’s Medina.

Since the original build, every detail has been considered, thought of and upgraded to transform this historic property into its current sophisticated state. The antique Berber materials were crafted by the owner in the anti-Atlas foothill, and the colours, lighting and refined furnishings have all been carefully chosen to create the timeless atmosphere enjoyed in these walls.

Entrance Hall provides plenty of storage space, a room and a laundry room.

A beautiful patio is decorated with a fountain that offers a refreshing touch to this space.

A living area comprises a TV/Media room with a seating area and fireplace. A small study/double bedroom with a shower room/cloakroom.

Taroudant is located East of Agadir on the road to Ouarzazate and the Sahara Desert and South of Marrakesh. Nestled in the mountains of the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, Taroudant is the starting point for many treks and hikes. The town is known as the "Grandmother of Marrakesh" because it looks like a smaller Marrakesh with its surrounding ramparts. In the sixteenth century, the Saadi dynasty briefly used Taroudant as a capital before it moved its royal seat onwards to Marrakesh.

Taroudant is full of charming shops and squares. Visitors have the chance to explore and discover the Berber culture. The town is small enough and worth exploring on foot, getting lost in the little alleyways known for its local crafts, including jewellery and carpets. Unlike Marrakesh, almost the entire Taroudant city is inside its walls.

Taroudant is situated 40-50 minutes away by motorway from Agadir airport. The international Agadir airport has direct flights from Geneva, London and Paris by EasyJet, Ryanair and Royal Air Maroc.
