Palais Musée Claudio Bravo

Taroudant


Ten kilometres north of Taroudant stands this extraordinary property: the home, museum and studio of Chilean painter Claudio Bravo. Rooms are furnished with wonderful antiques, but pale in comparison to common spaces: for example, pool furniture is made from the same Makrana marble as the Taj Mahal.

You can sleep in the same suite that once hosted Jacques Chirac (€300 per night). Or just come here to gawp on a tour.
