5 stars don’t do this place justice! From the road, it looks less interesting, but once through the gates there is a little haven of calm. Attractive gardens, and a number of small one storey buildings each housing a couple of rooms. The room we had was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Mint tea and home made biscuits on arrival, and a delightful reception from Joanna originating from France, but we noticed her speaking excellent English to some Dutch guests. She made some helpful suggestions to them about accessing Ait Benhaddou, and also to us in driving through the remote Amazigh/Berber villages on our way to the Tiz n’Tichka pass.

Highly recommend this location for anyone coming to the area - it’s a must (and we...
Read moreWe had such a great time in this small and lovely guesthouse. We came a family of 8. Catherine the host is just so nice and will give you the most homey feeling, even for Morroco. The rooms are new, not extravagant but have anything you need including A/C. ||Dinner is offered for 10 Euro and was perhaps the best we had in the trip. Catherine owned a restaurant back in France and makes the first dish as well the deserts. Breakfast is included in the fare for the room and was very good. ||The place is quiet, nice and peaceful, has a pretty large pool, and is a great get away from marrakesh and the other places to stay in the city. it is located just on the junction of ouarzazate and Aït Benhaddou, very close to both. ||you can make a reservation on the phone/their website and also...
