“Ouarzazate is in the middle of the best of sud Morocco. Everything was easy with the help of Peggy and Cedric and we felt welcome, all our fears disappeared and we were totally relaxed. The house is spectacular with huge rooms and great spaces in and outdoor. They introduced us to Abdou who welcomed us like princes and made us feel like home: he showed us his village and the caves and cooked for us special dinners. Said (Cedric's friend), who rented us a car, was very helpful with his driver Radwan to pick us at the airport and drive back the car from Marrakesh the last day, we always counted on his help. We really suggest this swap: it is an unforgettable experience. Paola”

Peggy's reviews
As a host (7)“Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans cette maison en juillet 2016 (en famille: deux adultes, 4 enfants de 5 à 10 ans). Nous avons été bien accueillis. Abdou et Aziza sont charmants et discrets (timides au départ). Nous avons profité de la piscine, du soleil et de la région de Ouarzazate aux milles Kasbah (quelques sites classés très jolis), aux odeurs d\'épices, de Tajines, de couscous et de poulets aux olives - nos papilles en ont bien profité aussi !!! Aziza est une trop bonne cuisinière - résultat: nous sommes repartis avec quelques kilos en plus ! Le farniente était à son comble! Et surtout, surtout nous avons apprécié la gentillesse des Marocains.”
“We had a fantastic time in the beautiful and tasteful home of Peggy, Cedric and their daughters. We were there in the beginning of May and our daughter enjoyed the pool a lot. It is a very comfortable base to explore the south of Morocco that lies behind the Atlas Mountains with here beautiful surroundings. The gardener was very nice and helpful. Peggy and Cedric did take care of our house in Amsterdam very well. Sander, Marieke and Dana”
“We have really enjoyed our exchange with Peggy, in Ourzazate, a great place from where visiting all Marruecos South. We really recommend this house. Our kids say that we have been living in a palace...and they are almost right! It is an amazing house with all the amenities you would need. Just be aware that if you travel in winter over there it is cold, but the house has chimenys and splits so you will not be cold. Marruecos is a country to be visited several times...people is so friendly and hospitable, and the paysage is so amazing... It has been a pleasure!”
“Choukrane choukrane!!!! Nous avons passé un séjour de 3 semaines dans la maison de Peggy et Cédric. Ce fut tout simplement formidable. Nous avons découvert les coutumes locales, les souks, les bons petits plats d\'Azziza dans une maison vraiment magnifique. Les paysages sont tous plus beaux les uns que les autres. Un vrai dépaysement. Le peuple berbère est très sympa. Encore un grand merci pour cet échange. Cédric et Peggy ont été précieux pour tous leurs conseils. Abdu et azziza absolument adorables. A refaire !!!”
“Volelo raccomandare la casa di Peggy e Cedric a tutti i viaggiatori che cercano un viaggio alla scoperta della valle del Dades e del Draa senza stancarsi molto..soprattutto con 2 bimbi, la sua posizione permette di visitare il sud e il deserto e nello stesso tempo offre un ambiente in cui rilassarsi nelle calde giornare. Poi visitare suk e kasba. Siamo rimasti colpiti dalla gentilezza di questa famiglia (e di tutte le persone che abbiamo incontrato) di come si sono prodigati per consigli e suggerimenti utili per le nostre escursioni fuori città. Non vi resta che partire ... buon viaggio a Ouarzazate.”
“We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in this beautiful house in Morocco. You cannot help but relax in the wonderful house in Ouarzazate with the huge pool. The house has a perfect location for visiting the area's highlights, such as; the Atlas Mountains, Aït Ben Haddou, the green oases, or a camel ride in the desert followed by a night in a Bedouin camp. The house housekeeper Abdou is very friendly and happy to help. We have been lucky to meet our exchange family Cedric, Peggy and their two charming daughters here in Denmark. We highly recommend swapping house with this wonderful French family.”
