The southwest and Taroudant

Taroudant is often described as a mini version of Marrakech - all the excitement of the souks and squares, but on a more manageable scale.

With a backdrop of the Atlas mountains, it is surrounded by old walls and the town pulses with life as cars, mules, horsedrawn carriages and boys with carts maintain the beat.

When you want to relax, just take time out in one of the cafés around the square and people watch from a distance. For those who enjoy bartering, its markets are said to be the best in Morocco.

Our hotel is a converted former governor's palace built into the city walls. The service in the hotel is exceptional and the rooms are large and en-suite. There are beautiful cool lounges and stunning gardens full of intimate shaded areas for relaxing. Everywhere there is a sense of calm. Airport transfer time Approximately 3½ hours
