Hôtel Les Amandiers

Tafraoute


Order a Flag Special or Heineken from the inside bar and then retire to the outside deck for great views. Just the ticket if you've been mountain biking or hiking amid Tafraoute's quirky landscapes (or even if you haven't!). Note it's around 1km southwest of the centre of town; the last bit is uphill.
