Dar Zahia

Top choice in Taroudant


This gorgeous property belonged to a French couple for years before it welcomed guests, and it still retains the feel of a private home – albeit that of a fabulously chic couple. Four rooms are clustered around a patio with soaring silk floss and banana trees, and bougainvillea blossoms flutter down into the plunge pool.

Objets from the souq adorn public spaces where breakfast and dinner (€20) are taken. Everything is so quietly elegant you'll have trouble tearing yourself away to visit shops personally recommended by Zahia, the owner and namesake.
