A Beautiful Place

Have just got back from a short trip to UK and Morocco and wanted to share my thoughts about one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in.
I’ve been in Fes, Morocco for a few days and I stayed in the Medina – the old city, organic, smelly, bustling with life, more than nine thousand small alleys turning it into a one gigantic labyrinth.
But this post is not about the Fes or the Medina, is about the house I’ve stayed in. (website here).
Alaa, an Iraqi architect, and Kate, his wife, an internal decorator from Norway, have turned the old palace of Dar Seffarine from a two decade abandoned house into a beautiful place. One can feel the soul and love that’s been put in the decoration of the house, and this, for me at least, is a precious feeling.
Not once I had the feeling of being in a hotel, but in a home, sharing dinner (delicious by the way) with friends and fellow travelers.
Dear Alaa and Kate, thanks for a very special time.
