Villa Quierro stands in its own grounds, two kms out of Tangier in the exclusive “Mountain” district. The view of the city and bay of Tangier is second to none. The house was built by an English architect in the 1940’s. It has been redecorated and modernized by his grand-daughter, the present owner.

The House:
Set in 3 acres of glorious gardens, with stunning views over the city and the Bay of Tangier, the house is built on two floors with a series of lawns and terraces leading down to the pool area. Pool is 12 meters large.

Ground Floor:
Main Reception Room (8.6m x 7 x 7m): This is a large airy room with plenty of comfortable seating, a working fireplace and an iPod docking/speakers. A glazed veranda runs the length of one side of the room, and traditional Moroccan arches lead into a study/library, bar, cloakroom and sitting room.

Study: Small writing room/library well stocked with books, maps, guide books, phone/fax, and a Wi-Fi laptop. There is also a comprehensive local information file compiled by the owner which tells you everything you need to know about the house and Tangier.
Sitting Room: Satellite TV and DVD player, fireplace and bar with mini fridge
Dining Room: Seats 12 comfortably, French windows open onto a terrace making it ideal for summer meals.
Kitchen: well equipped and conveniently placed behind main reception and dining rooms.
Cloakroom: Toilet and shower.

Upstairs: All the bedrooms are at the front of the house giving panoramic views across the beautiful garden to the Bay of Tangier.

Bedroom 1: (4.4 x4.1m) A double bedded room with its own balcony, and bathroom en-suite, and access to the verandah which is shared with Bedroom 2.
Bedroom 2: (5.4 x4.3m) Similar good-sized room with twin beds, en suite bathroom and plenty of hanging/storage space.
Bedroom 3: (4.1 x 3.7m) Double bedroom with king sized bed, en suite bathroom and verandah shared with bedrooms 4 and 5.
Bedroom 4: (4.5 x3.5m) Twin bedded room leading into Bedroom 5.
Bedroom 5: (2.7 x3.3m) A large single bed with a shower/toilet en-suite.

Bedrooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 all have good hanging space and drawers. There is no separate access to bedroom 5; therefore bedrooms 4 & 5 are ideal for parents with children.

The Garden & Swimming Pool: The terraces, lawns and beds are planted with exotically scented Mediterranean plants and trees. They are fed by 3 natural springs which keep the garden green and cool even in the hottest months.

Midway between the house and the pool there is a terrace with a large table and a custom built barbeque. The pool, (12 x 6m) is at the bottom of the garden. The pool house has two changing/storage areas, a kitchen a telephone, a loo, a shower and plenty of lounger/deck chairs. There is a second BBQ at the pool house and plenty of tables and chairs for up to 20 people to eat in comfort.

Abdul-Latif speaks good English and is exceptionally helpful – he will do the shopping, wait at table and act as your guide/interpreter/chauffeur as required. He does not speak French. His sister Rubbha is an excellent Moroccan cook who has learnt to turn her hand to European tastes whenever asked. Abdul Latif’s wife, Fatimah, cleans the house, makes the beds and does the washing and ironing. If you have children Abdul Latif and Fatimah will be very happy to babysit when you go out.
