Bold and Captivating Interiors
Inside the property, guests are captivated by bold interiors and the intricate design of each space. Paying homage to the region’s French heritage, the villa artfully blends chandeliers and antiques with imported Indian fabrics and locally crafted tapestries, creating an eclectic fusion of colour, texture and character. Step into the entrance hall, where ornate wallpaper, patterned tiled flooring and antique furnishings with statement lighting create a dramatic yet welcoming first impression. The grand living room follows, centred around a striking stone fireplace and adorned with distinctive antiques sourced from across the globe. Bespoke furnishings and doors opening onto the terrace complete the space. A fully equipped modern kitchen enhances the lower ground level, with large doors opening onto a balcony to create a bright, airy setting, perfect for preparing meals or refining culinary skills with the in-house chef. At the heart of the villa lies the Long Room, a magnificent space designed for stylish entertaining. Play a game of pool or enjoy an evening cocktail at the bar while watching the sun set over the vineyards through floor-to-ceiling glass windows that frame the view beautifully.
Six Stylish Suites
The villa’s elegant styling flows seamlessly into its six tranquil suites. Each bedroom is individually designed with distinctive creative flair, blending vintage features with vibrant fabrics that celebrate the character and beauty of the estate. Thoughtfully appointed with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and underfloor heating, every suite offers an indulgent balance of opulence and comfort. Calm, refined and richly layered in texture, these private sanctuaries invite guests to unwind in complete luxury.
Tranquil Outdoor Haven
Villa Frankie’s outdoor spaces are a true sanctuary of tranquillity and natural beauty. Begin the day with a refreshing dip in the heated swimming pool, then unwind on the adjacent veranda while taking in sweeping vineyard views and the dramatic mountain backdrop that surrounds the estate. Blending the romantic allure of Marrakesh with the charm of a French Provençal villa, the courtyard offers a serene and atmospheric retreat. Framed by the ancient oak tree and softened by the gentle sound of a flowing water feature, it is the perfect setting for morning yoga, quiet reflection or an unhurried afternoon spent immersed in a good book.
