Asilah, Morocco
The house is centrally located in the medina, set back from the seafront but with great sea views from the terrace.

We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable during our retreats, so here’s a little more detail about the accessibility of this villa:
The property is a traditional building with multiple staircases throughout that requires just one step to enter.
While many areas involve stairs, there are ground floor rooms available. Each bedroom of the villa has its own bathroom, so amenities are accessible no matter where you're staying.
Some retreat activities—such as movie night—take place on the top floor of the villa, which is accessible via six flights of stairs. If you're unable to manage the stairs, alternative arrangements can be made to ensure you don’t miss out.
All planned activities are technically accessible, but we do want to flag that our guided walk through the Medina involves extended periods of walking, including uneven terrain and cobbled streets, which may not be suitable for all mobility levels.
If you have any accessibility concerns or would like to chat about your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help make your retreat experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
