Villa Juniper is one of six very spacious fully-staffed private villas, all with private gardens set within the grounds of a small hotel.  All the villas include décor that showcases the bright and exotic fabrics and tiles for which Morocco is well known. The bedrooms are flexibly furnished and can be made up as either double or twin and are of a consistent size, with air conditioning and either a bath or shower room en suite. The spacious living rooms catch the cooling breezes, and open on to a broad terrace, with al fresco sitting and dining areas, each with a beautiful pool with Moroccan tiling. Villa Juniper is one of the latest villas in the collection, was finished in 2019 and is suitable for smaller parties. One bedroom on the ground floor opens out to the terrace. The master bedroom on the first floor opens out to the upper terrace. Breakfast is included and for other meals, guests can choose to be independent, shop locally and self-cater, ask the villa staff to prepare meals, or choose dishes from the villa food menu or wine list or dine a la carte at the noted hotel restaurant where barbecues are held on Sundays.

There is also a shuttle service to the centre of Essaouira.  

Essaouira is a delightful 18^th century seaside town, formerly known as Mogador. The old town is enclosed by fortified walls, with distinctive white and blue houses alongside a series of wide sandy beaches backed by sand dunes and it is a popular destination for windsurfing. The town’s main square is filled with cafes and meandering walkways lead to the souk (market) excellent for buying jewellery and spices, and the town is also noted for beautifully crafted woodwork made from thuya, a mahogany-like hardwood. Also worth visiting is the harbour and watching the wooden fishing boats bringing in their day’s catch and the fish restaurants are highly recommended.

We are delighted to introduce these properties to CV clients who we are sure will enjoy the flexible catering that these villa offer, enjoy the facilities at this special hotel and explore this interesting location.
