A small family run guest house, cosy ensuite rooms, warm blankets for night, djellaba hanging on the rail to keep you warm by the wood fire where we ate home cooked meals. Hussaine can arrange treks (we didn't) or suggest walks (we did) and arrange taxi transport to/from his place. A nice Moroccan feel, simple and a calm contrast to the chaos of Marrakesh. Lovely mint tea and biscuits on the roof terrace when we arrived.

In the medina, a wonderful calm riad with lovely rooms and Jean Francois the perfect host who makes sure you know how to get home, suggests good places to eat (from La Place to posh), has an evening drink/snack time to chat with him and other guests, arranges transport from airport, to elsewhere etc. I'm sure it was the Guardian website that led me there, but I can't find another mention. Use of internet, no tv, places to sit around and read, great breakfast, good suppers, soft drinks/tea on tap.
