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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25343 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18200
Wonderful host and staff, the owner organised everything for us - restaurants, day trips, hammams, golf. Fatima prepared us several amazing dinners - the quail tagine with apricots and the beef tagine with prunes and almonds are out of this world!

The riad itself is gorgeous, with arches and columns, very clean and tastefully decorated. Was a wonderful escape from the mad bustle of the medina. We stayed in the room on the terrace, so cosy and snug, and with a big comfortable bed that was divine. The roof terrace was precious, hot and sunny, with stunning views of the Atlas mountains.

Can't recommend this riad highly enough for a stay in Marrakech.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18200
