When Sir Richard Branson first bought Kasbah Tamadot, it was already a treasure trove of artefacts and antiques brought to Morocco by renowned art collector Luciano Tempo. In addition to the building and grounds, the sale also included a warehouse in the nearby village of Asni stuffed with exquisite doors, vases, objets and pieces of art, many of which you'll see displayed in the rooms and public spaces.
As part of Kasbah Tamadot commitment to the community, they offer villagers the opportunity to work there. Today they employ 120 staff together.
