If only there were more places like this, a medina house run by locals offering a rare glimpse into Moroccan life. They offer skilled guides, exciting cultural experiences and delicious Moroccan meals” Lonely Planet 2009

Feedback from recent group holidays 
 “I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their care and attention, the superb food …the rooms lovingly furnished and … the most wonderful trips on offer… The house became like a real home and we all felt we had had a Moroccan experience which was so much better than staying in a hotel with other tourists” L Waugh 11/12



“I'm still feeling "homesick" for La Maison Anglaise, all the lovely staff and the wonderful experiences I had… a great way to be introduced to Moroccan culture … there were always people around who could give… helpful and accurate information if I needed it … the staff were all so friendly and patient” Val Hall 1/13

“I wanted to thank you once again for the wonderful week. I found it a real privilege to be in Morocco with such a dedicated team who care for the country and people so deeply. If only the whole world could operate like that!”
