Les Jardins d'Azrou

“We arrived late in the afternoon, driving from Fes, searching for macaques and cedar trees and host Abdellah provided 2 locations. We also decided to eat here, based on the time, location (out of town) and a short conversation with him about Les Jardins D'Azrou's philosophy about food...similar to Slow Food (to which we belong). We found both macaques and cedars and returned at dark. We feasted on a quince/prune/lamb tagine that his sister had made. After mostly mediocre tagines during our trip it was really nice to eat an excellent one...the quince/prune combination is one of our favorites and somewhat difficult to find. The next morning we ate a leisurely breakfast that included jams from the farm and local olives and oil, and whole-wheat bread (extremely rare find). We drizzled honey from their hives on pieces of a crottin of goat cheese from a local cheesemaker. Abdellah recommended a nice stroll down the road and across some fields and we returned for a tour of the farm. On the 1-ha property they raise several fruit and nut trees, maintain flowers for the bees, and grow much of the veggies and herbs for the food. They power with solar and our room had in-floor heating from the ground heat exchange system. Irrigation is via a drip system. Abdellah delighted in showing off this labor of love. Carine was visiting family so unfortunately we didn't meet her. Abdellah is also a certified mountain guide and president of the local group so if you're looking for advice or a guide, he's the one to contact. Lovely time, quiet location and wonderful host: would definitely return.”

“Both the accommodation and the host were very pleasant. The host is from Switzerland and her husband from Morocco, he's a guide in the neighboring area so they can give any advice you need. They also use their home-made products for the food they serve. All in all it was a very nice place to stay!||||*The previous review down below is that guests own fault as you can read there, yet he blames it on the place. Don't take his advice cause it's not based on anything. And in case you don't trust my word, check the reviews on Google there are plenty of positive ones over there.”

“Very quiet spot close to Azrou. We stayed in double room at the first floor with excellent view on the valley and mountains. We got a warm welcome from the owner and a nice tour trough the organic kitchen garden. The dinner prepared with vegetables and fruit from their own garden was delicious. The rooms are clean and convenient. Host Karina and her family are doing their utmost best to give you a pleasant stay”

“We had the most amazing time staying here! Owners Abdullah and Karen are incredible hosts who have a deep love for nature and bring that into everything they do. We went on a group hike with Abdullah to local parks, exploring the plant species. Karen and her team made the most amazing meals every morning and evening, using so much from their 3 acre farm, fresh made jams and yogurts! We cannot wait to go back again!”

“Located in a beautiful garden, this homestay is a great place to discover the area. The hostess was an absolute delight and we are grateful for the great discussions we had. Plenty of the food came straight from the garden and was really delicious.”
