    Peaceful getaway just outside of Marrakesh

    Lunch and dinner prices were double what they were advertised as on Booking, and it would be worth the hosts making it clear in advance of the stay that all costs other than the room rate need to be paid in cash given the hotel's relatively remote location

    Incredibly peaceful and quiet location, less than 40 minutes away from Marrakesh. Rooms were very clean, bed comfortable and delicious mix of Moroccan and z Italian food.

    There is nothing that the hotel could change, the surrounding area is a reality check for europeans. As it is about a half an hour drive from Marrakech, I would strongly advise having a rental car if there's a wish for adventuring in Morocco. Walking and/or public transport is not an option and adventuring with taxi would be pricy for longer routes.

    Place for a super relaxing vacation. As someone who enjoys great interior and exterior design, the place was a sight for sore eyes! We were there for 6 nights and most of the time were the only guests. Rich breakfast which could be enjoyed everywhere on the property - by the pool, on the roof terrace, on your hotel room terrace. Super friendly and welcoming staff, who doesn't invade in people's privacy. for added bonus there is a self sufficient farm and animals on site.

    It would have benefited from having a more comfortable internal communal area. A lounge of some sort.

    The food was fantastic and the staff and owners were super helpful. The place was beautiful and having the animals was fun

    We would like a fridge in our room if possible. Maybe a proper ‘drinks’ bar outside. Fireplaces in rooms or fire pit outside would add that true Moroccan country house vibe?

    We love the hosts Francesca & Khalid and especially Lubna the wonderful maid, cleaner, cook. She is so hard working and kind. Oh and the gardener is a merry man. The pool is world class!

    it’s a bit hard to find, so you’ll have to use Google Maps, but the out-of-the-way location also means it’s quiet.

    a beautiful property with luscious gardens, a beautiful pool and Moroccan-inspired buildings. It’s very quiet at night, too. we had dinner and both the Moroccan and Italian choices were delicious.

    The single beds were a bit narrow, but very comfortable. Rather tricky to find the location, with a drive through some narrow streets, but there were sign posts at crucial points. SatNav is a help here.

    Very friendly staff who were most welcoming and helpful. Excellent meals served with great style. Extensive grounds to wander around in, ideal for bird-watching. A quiet setting with distant views of the mountains.

    An amazing experience! We arrived by night and we were amazed by the gardens and pool right away. We had dinner there and it was great, the best tomato salad of the trip. Room was comfortable and had all we needed (including being quiet). Breakfast was also perfect with a nice selection of breads, jams, eggs, and so. Pool looked nice, but we only stayed for one night, so no change to try it out. Great place for our first night, and being just outside Marrakech you are able to have a restful night.

    food is way overpriced. payed more there than I pay in Germany for food.

    super nice and great to have time to relax a bit. The hosts are very friendly. The stay was great but food is very expensive compared to the rest of the country. since the location is outside of the city you have no other choice but to eat there. Lunch 20€, Dinner 25€ and it was ok but definitely not worth the money.

    So peaceful. Deliciously fresh food with ingredients from their onsite organic farm (even the orange juice served with breakfast was made with the fruit growing on the trees outside our room!) Amazing pool & comfortable loungers. The roof terrace is extremely beautiful with breathtaking views of The Atlas Mountains — incredible. Wonderful clean rooms with authentic furnishings. The decor of the entire place is exquisite.

    Sometimes was difficult to communicate in English. There is no Wifi in the rooms - only in the reception.

    Very beautiful place- big garden, nice pool, and relaxation zone. Delicious breakfast and friendly staff. The hotel is located quite far from the city - it is quite difficult to reach it without a car and there is nothing to do in the closest area. However, this is also an advantage - there is very calm and allows to relax after the day in Medina.
