What an amazing place! If you want to escape to a genuine oasis of peace, with rustic charm, warm hospitality, surrounded by unspoilt nature, this is it.
It’s just one hour from Marrakech yet it felt like a different country. The owner, Bouhcine, organised a taxi to get us there – lovely views along the way – we passed through Asni and then through a lush and mountainous area before arriving in Imarigha, (just two km before Ouirgane) where the guest house is hidden away at the end of a little lane by the mosque.
Our room was actually a cottage, with earth walls on the outside, spacious, with sitting area, en-suite bathroom and a lovely wooden beam ceiling. The double bed was really comfortable, everything worked - loads of hot water for the shower etc.
It’s so peaceful here, the cottages are surrounded by olive trees. You hear the breeze, an occasional donkey braying, and birds. We went for walks in the local area where there are farms and more olive plantations.
The food was delicious (the one potential drawback which turned out not to be - there aren’t any local restaurants, so you have to have lunch and dinner here), but we ate better here than in Marrakech! Thoroughly recommend it.

I completely agree with this tip. I stayed at Sel d'Ailleurs in late January/early Feb and had a similar experience. Couldn't recommend this place enough! I completely agree with the above review about this gem of a place and it's wasting space to add more except to point out there did appear to be one or two other restaurants in Imarigha. But Aziz's food would win out every time for sure!Other positives - the taxi driver who drove us to the Tizi n'Test pass (and the airport) and our local guide on a day trek. Both well informed, generous and reliable.
I can't wait to return!
