Behind the Quiet Oasis
This guest house grew with the help of local friends, caring hands, and a shared love for land and simple living. Today, it is a one-hectare oasis of olives, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and birdsong—a peaceful place to slow down, reconnect, and feel at home.

How Hosting Became a Way of Life
It never really started as a business...
It still doesn’t feel like one. After living in seven countries over 25 years, opening the door to friends and friends-of-friends, sharing local life and hidden corners, became second nature.
Retirement and a move to Morocco turned that spirit into a small guest space, then the restoration of a neighboring barn, as more like‑minded people arrived through word of mouth—guests who cherish nature, quiet, local adventures, and the warmth of the sun, including many paragliding pilots and yoga practitioners.

Years of traveling—from luxury hotels to tents in the wild, and everything in between—made it clear what truly matters in a stay. What is offered here is not just a bed and a meal, but a few days in a place away from city life, with chances to connect with local culture and choose the activities that feel right for each guest.
Practical knowledge about flying, nearby villages, cities, and things to do is shared to make trips smoother and more meaningful, because what stays in memory is not the furniture, but the people met and the experiences shared.

Places That Shaped the Journey
Places That Shaped the Journey
Places That Shaped the Journey
Where a Place,
Becomes Home
A One-Hectare Haven
The land spans around one hectare, home to an olive grove, fruit orchard, vegetable garden, flowers, cactus, and a chicken coop. It feels like a small, living world of its own.
A Living Collection
The garden hosts more than 100 plant species and over 1,000 individual plants. Diversity is visible in every path, corner, and season.
Garden of Biodiversity
Biodiversity in the garden is natural and essential, attracting a wide variety of birds throughout the year. So far, around 18 species have been spotted, either permanently or seasonally, adding life and sound to the landscape.
Waking to Nature
It is a blessing to wake up to birdsong and soft sunrays filtering through the trees. Each morning feels like a gentle reminder to slow down and be present.
More Than a Room
What is offered here is not just a place to sleep, but an experience of peace of mind and slowing down. Home-cooked, often home-grown breakfasts and dinners bring simple, tasty comfort to each stay.
An Oasis of Detail
Guests are surrounded by details of local architecture and a lush garden that stands out as an oasis in the middle of a more arid landscape. Every element is designed to feel both rooted and welcoming.
Space to Find What Matters
Designing and preparing this environment has been about creating a place where guests can find a moment of quiet or a moment of joyful connection. The space gently supports each person in discovering what feels meaningful to them—and giving it room to unfold.

Hosting You at the Edge of Two Worlds
This place lives in the “in‑between” space—like an ecotone, where two worlds meet and something richer can grow. Here, holiday and home, adventure and stillness, global traveller and Moroccan village, city energy and garden quiet, desert and snow all lean into each other to create a new atmosphere of their own
Guests often arrive from fast, busy lives and slowly settle into another rhythm. In this in‑between space, they can move between activity and rest, connection and solitude, sunlight and shade, and often leave with a quieter mind and a fresh way of seeing their own life.
