In Medina, near the battlements. Palais des Sables with heated pool, staff, and garden

Excellent

We had a fabulous week at this property. It is beautifully and tastefully designed and decorated. The staff were discreet and helpful, they cooked all our meals and did a very good job, the Pastilla is definately worth a try. The pool is a great size and the family spent many fun hours in it. We used the bikes to cycle round Taroudant and enjoyed a drive up the Atlas mountinas Tizi and Test pass as well as visiting Tiout Oasis where they filmed Ali Ba Ba and the 40 theives. The staff also booked us massages, Morroccan style- much appreciated. The views to the mountains are epic. We did have a very stressful hour on arrival, having travelled from Scotland to find the Riad had people in and had been doubled booked! However the staff were very good in mananging this situation and sent the others to a local hotel while we checked in! It would be great to have some information in English as the staff and welcome literature is a french only affair. We muddled through with google translate and school level french! We loved exploring the area, so totally different from anything we have seen, very unspoilt and not really a 'normal' tourist destination. Everyone we meet was super friendly and warm towards us. Beware there is much poverty in this region and whilst everyone is very kind there is not a tourist framework. As one guide book said, if you reach Tarourdant you know you have really travelled.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay . The riad is well kept and conveniently located. The staff was wonderful. We enjoyed the breakfast by the pool every morning. The food was great. Thank you very making our vacation memorable. We will definitely stay here again.

This was an amazing place to stay. We arrived on Saturday evening and were met by the house staff who had a delicious meal waiting for us. Once we ate we were shown to our rooms and settled in to the gorgeous villa. The villa was comfortable and spacious for the 14 people in our party. The rooms had all the necessary amenities as well as AC. There are numerous balconies and seating areas around the villa indoors where we relaxed and enjoyed Moroccan tea and cakes. The pool was lovely and the children spent most days swimming and playing around the /villa. The pet turtles were lovely and the children enjoyed following them around all day. The meals were absolutely delicious and nothing was too much trouble for Touria the housekeeper. We went on trips into the town with Imad and he was on hand to help with anything we needed. Touria organised to amazing excursions, one to Agadir and one to Tifnit where we took a donkey ride through an Oasis. It was a lovely place to stay and was memorable in so many ways! The hospitality of the staff was further extended when my 3yr old daughter forgot her favourite Teddy Bear at the Villa as we were in a rush to the airport, I emailed Olivia and the Bear is currently travelling back to us via land, sea and air!!! We will definitely be going back soon to this lovely place!
