Eight cosy rooms decorated with local touches sit around a flower-filled garden and swimming pool, with views of Jebel M'Goun from the vine-draped terraces. Mornings slip by with walks in the palmeraie (palm grove), while afternoons are best spent in the royal purple hammam before a traditional homecooked dinner. Follow green triangle markers from the main road.
