La Diouana Oualidia

About the villa
La Diouana was built in the 1930s and served during the French Protectorat as a customs house (douane). It is located near the old kasbah of Oualidia, eight minutes' walk from the centre of town, and overlooks the grounds of a ruined summer palace built by King Mohammed V.
The villa has been restored using traditional Moroccan tadlakt, woodwork, filigree metalwork and stucco arches while retaining the original French doors, windows, shutters, roof tiles and water tower. It is a traditional riad - by the sea.
