Indoors
At Dar El Sadaka, animal sculptures of varying scales and disturbing realism dot the spaces. Guests are greeted by a giant sheep standing peacefully beside the swimming pool, a larger-than-life sculpted giraffe dominates the dining room and in the orangutan lounge, primates perform acrobatics.
The interiors are fully air-conditioned and have high-speed Wi-Fi internet access. There is a library with satellite TV for watching international channels and Netflix, a multifunctional room that can be set up as a cinema, meeting or party room, a traditional hammam and a spa treatment room.
There is also a pergola for alfresco dining and a spacious traditional caidal tent.
The house is not suitable for disabled guests.
Outdoors
Around the large heated heptagonal swimming pool, deckchairs, daybeds, giant mattresses under the olive trees, everything is designed to encourage you to relax and do nothing. However, if the lack of activity bothers you, you can always take advantage of the hammam after an invigorating massage, take the covered, flower-lined path leading to the ping-pong table and petanque court, play volleyball or lift weights in the gym overlooking the olive trees. The property's private tennis court is also at your disposal.
During your stay you can also wander beyond the house gardens and explore the estate with its large organic vegetable and herb garden, its olive hedge maze and Jean-François Fourtou's monumental art park, but please note that these areas are not for exclusive use.
