Hotels Near Villa mohamed othman in Al Haouz

If I could give this place 7 stars out of 5, I would. This riad was a highlight of our trip - not only is the guesthouse itself perfect, but more importantly, the family running it are so kind, authentic and helpful, that you immediately feel it is a home away from home. The riad is fantastically located with panoramic views of the valley and the surrounding mountains including the Jebek Toubkal, the tallest mountain in North Africa. The rooms all have wonderful details like a few items of Berber clothing for you to try on either to keep warm or simply for fun and plaster decoration on the ceiling. They are quiet, clean and comfortable with showers with excellent water pressure and hot water. The food is excellent and served in a dining room draped with Berber rugs and surrounded by delictately carved wooden furniture, with the panoramic view of the mountains. We also enjoyed chatting with other guests here. Most importantly, the manager Rashid is a kind and energetic soul who will go above and beyond to ensure you have a great trip. We arrived late on the first day, after a long drive, and he showed up in the village centre to help us navigate the rickety road to get to the guesthouse; he managed to sort out rooms for us when we booked super last minute and theoretically the guesthouse was all booked up (including arranging one at his uncle's place next door); he organized a guided trek up Toubkal for us with a great guide (Hassan) for a reasonable price; he lent us a sleeping bag and gloves for the trip, at no extra cost; and he spent time chatting with us, in a way that made us feel like friends, not clients, and gave us a great insight into local life. His niece, Bouchra (apologies if the spelling is wrong, I should have asked how to spell it!), who helps him run the guesthouse was also an absolute star - thanks to both of you! Staying with you was really special.

What a wonderful experience with this team in the High Atlas Mountains. We booked a 2 night stay at Atlas Prestige and wished we had stayed another night. The mountain vistas were breathtaking. They organised a beautiful one-day hike traversing around the Imlil Valley with a private knowledgeable guide and lunch at a Berber House which was excellent value for money. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Included breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the 3 course home cooked dinners at 10Euro per person (which included fresh bread, a soup, a different tagine meal each night and fresh fruit). They also organised our private transfers from Marrakech which were reasonable compared to other prices we received. Would highly recommend a relaxing stay for minimum 2 nights. Thank you to all the staff. We will return
