“My favourite place in the countryside in Morocco”

This is a lovely simple place in the beautiful Dades river valley with the most stunning views from the terrace of the river valley and the Monkey Paw rocks. Dades is one of my favourite places in Morocco and I think this auberge is exceptional.
Mohamed is very kind and helpful and my favourite person to visit and he is also a very good cook and does excellent tagines - delicious! The rooms are simple but the beds are comfy and one room has it's own shower and toilet whilst the two downstairs rooms have a shared shower and toilet. The best bit is hearing the cows and sheep in the morning! We ate well, were lovely and warm by the wood fire on the winter evenings, and were entertained with music. We had a walk arranged for us in the fields and gardens down by the river and visited the old ruined kasbah and the rocks - this place is beautiful at any time of the year. We also had the bonus of a small snowfall and it was marvellous dancing around on the terrace in the moonlight with a soft snowflakes falling - a definite bonus! Thank you Mohamed and everybody there for an unforgettable stay.
If you go to Dades be sure to visit - if not for the night or several nights, then certainly for a meal. Exceptional.
