Can you solve our August ‘Room with a Clue’ puzzle?
Each month, we show you a room from a house of significance and ask you to work out either the property’s name, or who lived there. There’s a prize up for grabs, so see if you can solve the riddle...
African oasis
It was an enchanting early 20th-century botanical garden in Marrakech that first drew our homeowner’s attention to this plot in 1980. A true toast of haute couture, his love of beauty meant that, after hearing the land was earmarked for retail development, he bought it. With his long-time partner, they purchased the adjoining villa too, Villa Oasis, and set about restoring it into a fashionable sanctuary. Inside is a riot of bold colour, elaborate tilework, marble flooring, woven rugs, gilded chandeliers and decorative examples of fine craftsmanship.
