Kasbah Agafay Morocco


The Kasbah Agafay is just the most marvellous place to chill out for a long weekend or even a week.
We stayed in a suite right up at the top under the ramparts, and the views were to die for.

I just loved the antique rugs, high ceilings and log fires, as it does get chilly at night, and what with the wonderfully high ceilings they were needed.
The concept of taking an old and crumbling Kasbah and turning it into top class hotel is a great concept, and the tiled courtyards, and sound of tinkling fountains never far away

 were evocative of a time gone by. At night with lanterns everywhere you really felt you had gone back in time.

The service was excellent, totally unobtrusive, but you just needed to literally raise a finger and someone appeared as if by magic.

Liked the pool, and loved the hamman, but one of the best features of theKasbah Agafay was the idea that you can be taken to Marrakech for the day, and visit your 'club' which is the Kssour Agafay, a boutique hotel in a 15th century town house right in the medina.
It was great, we went shopping, left our bags, returning later for lunch, leaving more bags, and then we went back to the peace and tranquillity of the hills, and the wonderful kasbah Agafay.
