In the Beginning …
Due to global economic circumstances, owning a Holiday Home for quiet enjoyment became impractical and Riad Laksiba had to become self-funding to stay in our ownership. In 2010 we took the plunge and Riad Laksiba enjoyed an entire restoration, in keeping with the Marrakech UNESCO World Heritage status, an “Old Palace” style was contrived
Twist of Fate
We were invited to participate and be filmed for House Hunters International; an American TV Show dedicated to owners buying abroad.
Filming with Househunters International
September 2010 the TV show was rolled out to a Global Network of some 97 Million homes. Now regular repeats. October 2010 we felt the Marrakech climate was right to “open the doors” of our special Riad home for guests to enjoy and sample the immediate community that has given so much pleasure. Amazingly our first guests came from as far away as Canada and Azerbaijan. The TV show “struck a chord” to many travellers visiting Europe who felt a budget trip to Marrakech could be squeezed in.
Today : We have hosted guests from all over the Globe…. but mainly British. Some booked onto Yoga Retreats, some renting Riad Laksiba Exclusively for family and friends, others just a room for a night whilst passing through.
On the TV !
