This truly magnificent Palace, so legend tells, was built for a king by an ancient civilisation from the North of Africa, who made this idyllic valley their home until it was destroyed by an earthquake.
Now restored, The Palace once more offers royal hospitality and lavishes its guests with 5 star service, and is luxurious in every facet of its fabulous architecture.
The Palace is adorned with exquisite mosaics, frescoes, hand-painted ceilings works of art you would find nowhere else in the world.
