Overview
Jnane Tamsna is a family-friendly hotel that benefits from a wonderful sense of space and light. A walk from bedroom to reception is likely to pass pools, covered pathways, and a discreetly located tennis court. The rugged gardens have been lovingly tended by ethno-botanist owner Gary Martin, and his wife Meryanne Loum-Martin's elegant touch and exquisite taste evoke a simpler time felt in each colourful and cosy room.
Highlights:
Tucked away in the Palmeraie
Wonderful gardens with five pools; fantastic food
Like a family friend's house in the countryside
