Auberge Le Safran

Anti Atlas Mountains


Le Safran has basic, colourful en-suite rooms, with two doubles on the roof terrace and a spacious four-person suite. The 1st-floor salon looks across the fields at the kasbah and mountains beyond. The hotel harvests its own saffron, which it sells on site and uses in the delicious meals.

There's also a hammam and huge pool with saffron flower mural (it's a one-horse town after all). Ask for a room at the back to minimise road noise.
