This newly built residence offers a retreat away from the tourist hustle and bustle yet still within easy reach of local attractions.

The rooms at Riad Tamdakhte blend traditional Moroccan aesthetics with modern amenities. Each room is adorned with Tadelakt, a waterproof plaster used in Moroccan architecture, giving it a distinct, earthy look. The rooms are spacious and include features such as air-conditioning, heating, and ample storage space. The view from the rooms is a highlight, offering a panorama of the valley and the Kasbah of Tamdakhte. You can choose from various room options, including double, triple, and quadruple units, each promising a cozy and memorable stay.

The highlight of Riad Tamdakhte is its culinary offering, with a focus on local cuisine. The in-house chef serves delicious food and also conducts cooking classes, giving you an opportunity to learn the art of Moroccan cuisine. The hotel also offers a patio with a fountain that opens into a welcoming Moroccan-style living room, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

The concierge was so incredibly nice! The place is really pretty with the fountain in the middle. It has a few areas to lounge, and a great view of a Kasbah right in front. Read more

Tips for future travelers

It was not an interesting place for us and we thought we could have skipped and stayed longer in a more pleasant area with more things to do
