MOROCCOThe small Berber village of Tidzi lies in the westernmost foothills of the High Atlas range, 27 kms south of the coastal town of Essaouira and 200 kms due west of Marrakech. Gateway to the south and at the northern limit of the argan forests, Tidzi nestles quietly among rolling hills and fields of undulating wheat.

Located in a particularly arid part of the kingdom (the only rains normally occurring in November and December), the countryside nevertheless comes to life the moment the first rains touch the ground. It is then a true festival of colors with the most incredible variety of wild flowers covering grounds left parched and barren the rest of the year. |

Among rolling hills spotted with argan, olive, almond, carob and pomegranate trees, Villa Tidzi rests peacefully, a gentle retreat in the midst of this ancient land where new generations of Berbers maintain the life and traditions established by their forefathers over the centuries. |
