The collection
Chez Sophie — houses to live in.
“Chez Sophie” are houses to live in — in Marrakech, Tangier and Oualidia — where the passing guest is welcomed as a friend, in a simple sharing of the same artistic tastes.
The simplicity of luxury
The story
It all began in 1995,
by chance, on a journey.
Sophie Raynal, then an architecture student at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, fell in love with Morocco on a trip to Marrakech. One after another, she undertook the renovation of several houses in Marrakech, Oualidia and Tangier, holding to one watchword — the demand for authenticity — and a keen taste for fine arts and architecture. A true aesthetic vision.
Sophie is no longer with us, but she passed on to her family and her team the values born of her sensitivity and her humanism. All of this, dear guests, is what you will feel during your visit — and what we wish you from the bottom of our hearts.
fig. — the spirit of the houses
Three cities
Marrakech, Oualidia, Tangier — a single spirit.
« It is the warmth of a smile over a mint tea, an emotion at the sound of an opera aria played on the piano, the melodious song of the muezzin at dusk before a pool rising from a luxuriant garden, the passing of birds that stirs a book read at sunset over the ocean. »
- Marrakech three riads in the medina
- Oualidia a house over the lagoon
- Tangier a residence in its garden
