Les Suites Sarladaises is a partnership owned and managed equally by Alicia and Lotfi Moustakim.
Alicia followed a career in publishing before embarking on tourism in the southwest of France and she now manage the full activity of Les Suites Sarladaises. Lotfi trained as a computer engineer which he is currently pursuing and participates in the management of Suites Sarladaises. By adding artistic flourishes like decorative painting and unique architectural design, their work has been featured in magazines, books, and newspaper articles.
Amid the hard work and grueling grind of their various design projects, the partners have indulged in their overriding passion - travel - taking in and enjoying sometime long-term visits to such places as New York/New England; London and various corners of the UK; Italy, including Venice, Rome, Florence, Catania, Palermo, Matera, Otranto, and Naples; Paris and many other regions of France; Athens and various Greek islands, plus Madrid, Lisbon, Istanbul, Tangiers, and Prague.
The experience gained from staying in long and short-term rentals - from overnight hotel rooms to self-catered cottages and apartments, both in rural and urban areas has - if nothing else - provided firsthand knowledge of what a good accommodation should be. Developing a travel business is, thus, a natural adjunct and finale to their current restoration project. Indeed, it is the dream of them both.
