May 2026Memorable stay in this beautiful Moroccan house
Our stay at Philippe’s beautiful riad in the heart of the medina in Taroudant can be summed up in one word: unforgettable. There were nine of us staying for a week, and we were looked after impeccably by Hassan and Fatima, a wonderful brother-and-sister team for whom nothing was ever too much trouble. Fatima’s cooking was simply exceptional — healthy, varied, delicious, and easily some of the best food we have enjoyed on any holiday. The house itself is absolutely stunning. The décor perfectly blends authentic Moroccan style with modern elegance and comfort. Everywhere you look there are beautiful spaces to relax, read, chat, or simply unwind — cosy sofas tucked into charming corners and spectacular terraces with lovely views. The swimming pool is gorgeous, and one of the things we loved most was how wonderfully cool and calm the house remained, even when temperatures outside were extremely hot. The location is also fantastic — just minutes from the souk, which we found far more authentic and enjoyable than the bustle of Marrakech. During our stay we enjoyed several unforgettable excursions, including a visit to the home of the artist Claudio Bravo, a beautiful hike in the Anti-Atlas Mountains, and a wonderfully authentic local market where we did not see another tourist. Communication with Philippe was outstanding from beginning to end, and he helped us with so many details that made the trip effortless and special. This was genuinely one of the best holidays we have ever had, and we are already planning to return next year. We cannot recommend this extraordinary home highly enough.”

April 2026Fabulous property, and staff.
Our multigenerational family (youngest age 10, oldest age 84) all had a wonderful stay in this stunning property right in the very heart of Taroudant. Fatima and Hassan spoilt us wonderfully with delicious food and a seamless stay. We enjoyed the souks, tea in the main square, quad biking, a trip to Tiout Oasis, Caliche rides around the Medina walls (horse drawn carriages, with well looked after Arabian horses), and a local hammam. All organised for us by the team onsite. We couldn't have wished for a better stay. Thank you! ”

March 2026So Worth It
The adventure is worth every moment. House is more beautiful than the pictures can show. The staff is first class. Skip Marrakesh, fly into Agadir and 1.25 hours you are there. Souk and market are big enough and cuisine in various Riads is more than enough. One caution bring your own wine and beverage as choices in town are very limited.
