Dar Tafantant | House in Ourika

A wonderful oasis of peace! Staff and manager are a team of kind and inspiring women. The property, the serenity, the food, the views everything is just wow! Over the past years I have visited Morocco several times and slept in many similar hotels in the Ourika region - but Der Tafantant was so far the best experience. Do not even hesitate and book it!

- The location is out of the way,if you dont have a car there is absolutely nowhere to go which gives you a chance to relax & switch off entirely. -Scenery is stunning, the views of the snowcapped mountains are incredible and its totally silent apart from the sound of the birds so is super relaxing. -The hotel is decorated beautifully but it is a little rustic. This isnt a 5 star hotel with turndown service so please dont expect that. -Staff are lovely, super helpful & friendly. -The pool is gorgeous & the grounds are also lovingly taken care of but theres a few little things that would a stay even better...Some games or packs of cards being available would be nice. Dinner was served very early when we were there (due to ramadan) so it left us with a long evening before bed so to have the option to play a game would be nice and perhaps have a little background music on in the restaurant and common areas. -The main thing that would stop us coming back though is the price of food. Whilst the food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious it was quite expensive, coming from the UK we found it more expensive than back home. Again, what would be a nice idea would be to maybe have an honesty 'bar' where you could buy drinks/snacks in the evening when staff have left as once dinner is over there is nothing to eat or drink unless you bring it with you. If you want wine BYO! -Overall a great find and lovely stay. Just room for a few tweaks to make it fabulous (in my opinion!)

Our two nights were fantastic. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The property is beautiful.

An oasis of rest, relaxation, pastoral views of farms, mountains and nature. Beautiful rooms which were spacious, air conditioned, had balconies with views. Wake up to singing birds and clucking chickens. WiFi, but no TV. Good location to get to the falls at SETI Fadha in about an hour. Hint-park at the falls at the first P labeled lot to get out and walk through the town. Otherwise traffic and driving is very congested. My only criticism is that the hotel could provide much better instruction to getting to their place once you leave the paved road. For those non-native drivers in a rental car, driving dirt roads through narrow streets (Not crowded) is nerve wracking when you are searching for a place. There are signs point to the hotel some with full name and some only saying “DT”. You must be looking for those because the mapping apps:google, maps.me and Apple Maps do not reliably work once off main road. The road in is dirt and a little rocky. Very low hang cars may be challenged but our little Kia did fine. Go slow. If your first time I highly recommend you do not try finding it in the dark. Once found, the stay will be exceptional. Don’t let the last 10 minutes of dirt driving dissuade you.

Very nice and calm place, away from roads and any people almost! :) Place is very beautiful and host Abdul riendly and helpfull! :)

Great staff, very friendly. Lovely location, very remote and peaceful. Beautiful residence with loads of activities and a great view on the Atlas Mountains.

the most beautiful escape in the countryside. such a unique and special experience

Great place to stay. Mohamed, the Manager, was a fantastic host, making sure we were well looked after and sharing tips and insights into things to do. We had two days lounging by the lovely pool with a few walks and a massage, and one day excursion to the waterfalls at the Ourika Valley which was good to get out and about. Overall Dar Tafantant was really relaxing and we would definitely recommend it to get away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.

The place is fantastic! The grounds are beautiful, the staff are super nice & attentive and the view is beautiful It is a hidden oasis close to Ourika and we can only recommend it to anyone coming that way!
