Dar Al Hossoun

This is a magical place. Beautiful gardens . Exquisitely tasteful. Open fires in the bedrooms enhance the experience . Attentive staff nothing is too much trouble. We stayed 2 nights more would have been even better. It has a fabulous restaurant. So nice not to have a buffet breakfast.

Dar Al Hossoun is an exceptional Riad/hotel. The staff are very friendly, helpful, understated and efficient. The gardens are stunning, so much so all you want to do is paint or take fabulous photographs. Around every corner is one of the many rescued, and well behaved, cats. Peacocks preen on the adobe walls. The place is exquisitely elegant and stylish. The food is refined and varied (excellent fish dishes). You will not want to leave but if you do there are some really interesting places to visit nearby in and around Taroudant. We are going back.

Our high hopes for Dar al Hassoun were actually exceeded in this wonderful hotel, hidden behind mud walls a few miles from Taroudant. It is a magical place, with characterful rooms and suites scattered across interconnected gardens full of trees and cactus sourced from far and wide. Alongside the larger pool is a comfortable lounge area serving snacks and pre-dinner drinks. The food was delicious. Everything worked, from the hot showers to the air conditioning and blackout curtains to the free wi-fi. The staff were unfailingly smiling and helpful. The continuous birdsong was interrupted by the cries of the peacocks and the greetings from the happy cats.

First class experience in this very beautiful place. The gardens are remarkable and deservedly celebrated. Staff are attentive, unfailingly helpful and friendly. Food in the restaurant is excellent. A wonderful experience to stay here

Beautiful oasis and hidden gem; stunning botanical gardens, excellent accommodations, phenomenal French -Moroccan food, and the staff are over the top wonderful. Not many hotels are memorable but this one certainly is. Worth a visit and use it as an exploration point for the local area, atlas mountains, Atlantic coast, and sahara.

We stayed her for two nights on an epic.travel (highly recommended) tour of Morocco. For me it was an awesome place to stay. Our room, a suite was very privately situated with private terrace and huge bathroom, all very tastefully decorated with lovely Arian oil products to use. The position and buildings are delightful but it is the gardens that make this place a knockout. Developed over nearly 20 years they’re stunning with hidden corners, two pools and amazing array of cactus. The restaurant and eating areas are also very cute and beautifully lit at night. We found the food ok and that is not to say it was bad, but it just did not fit with our own tastes. The chef is clearly trying to be inventive and sometimes keeping it simple is a better option IMO. The breakfast was a little underwhelming too and on the second day we were clearly served the left over baked goods from the previous day as they were stale. However, this is nitpicking to a degree and can be easily sorted, so it does not lose a point because of it. All in all a wonderful hidden oasis of calm for anyone wanting to check out the charms of Taroudant.
