Ouarzazate
Located within walking distance of the Place Al Mouahidine, this sleek pisé (rammed-earth) villa with crenellated turrets is the home of Jean-Michel and Martine. The six villa bedrooms arranged around the courtyard swimming pool are simply and tastefully furnished and offer good value for money, especially considering the bountiful breakfast of pancakes, homemade yoghurt, fruit and cake.
Reserve ahead for a delightful multicourse dinner (residents/nonresidents Dh150/180).
