I came here 18 years ago and bought the building -the ruin i should say- in March 2003. It took us 1,5 year to make it as it is now. The name "Watier" i chose from a french engineer who saved the city from the sands early 20' century. This house is large and has 2 sides opened to the natural light, making the rooms bright and airy. The patio being rectangular has allowed us to design large rooms with plenty space and king size beds; all rooms have their sitting area and desk. Location in the heart of the medina (old town)
