Chez Max is the original Moroccan 'ethno-chic' earth house. Built in a bibical Berber village called Tagadert and run like a home.
ABOUT
24 kms from central Marrakech, Chez Max is the original Moroccan 'ethno-chic' villa rental. Attractively and stylishly built in the local rammed-earth style inside a biblical Berber village, it’s run just like a home, with a small team of discreet staff taking care of all cooking and cleaning needs. And talk about tranquillity: only the chirping of birds, a call to prayer or a passing donkey’s braying will interrupt the blissful serenity.
ROOMS
Built around three courtyards, the house has six comfortable rooms, each different and all charming. Only let out as a whole house, and is ideal for small groups of friends or family.
FACILITIES
The pool provides a perfect summer cool-off and is heated throughout the winter months. The four walled gardens are beautiful all year round and full of hidey-holes, while the surrounding village, gentle hills and olive groves provide just as much natural distraction, be it on a stroll or viewed from the roof terrace. Tasty Moroccan and European meals are prepared by magical cook Saida, including her famous cous-cous with caramelised onions and raisins.
MORE INFO
Saida can also prepare packed lunches (on request) for those undertaking one of Chez Max’s selection of excursions into the Atlas Mountains or along the coast. Taxis in and out of Marrakech are available to book for £27 per way (slightly more if returning after 8pm). You may prefer to have a hire car to give you total freedom and instant access to the surrounding area. A small car will cost approx £25 per day and can be delivered and collected from Chez Max.
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
We really know Morocco and have had the pleasure of making many people's dream trips become reality over the years. It has been our privilege to be asked to manage holidays, weddings and productions for so many fantastic and discerning clients. We remain small and dedicated to providing excellent honest advice to enable you to sit back, relax and enjoy the fun bits without having to manage the unpredictability of this fascinating country.
