The authentic experience for surfers, boarders, bikers, artists and hikers.
Stay bed and breakfast in a traditional Berber town in a house run by an Anglo-Berber family.
Morocco is, of course, a paradise for artists and photographers. The light is clear and the colours vibrant. If you like portraiture some of the locals will pose for a few dirhams. Or you may like to visit a local pottery where you will be impressed with the large cous-cous plates, which are decorated in a huge variety of traditional and modern patterns. Ideally you need your own transport but we can provide transport to the beaches or mountains after breakfast. We can also pick you up from Agadir Al Massira airport.
We are close to wonderful beaches for surfing, bodyboarding, snorkeling, diving, swimming or canoeing and mountains for walking, cycling or bird-watching. There is some equipment available to rent or bring your own.
We have three rooms with 2 singles or 1 double bed in each. There is a large bathroom with English style toilet and shower and another English toilet on the ground floor next to the kitchen and dining-sitting-games area.
The house itself is a three-storey Berber house with traditional tiled floors and walls and Moroccan furnishings. Charges include breakfast of your choice - English (minus the bacon but with a choice of other delicacies instead) or Moroccan, which is rather like a Continental breakfast but with a sweet peanut butter sauce called Amlow, local honeycomb and fresh butter, or argan oil if available, into which to dip your fresh, French bread. You may also have fresh-squeezed orange juice and coffee or mint tea. Moroccan style evening meals are available on request for extra Dirhams.
Please note: If you stay in our house you will be in a Berber community and you may be awakened by the morning call to prayer, which echoes down the tiny mosques in the valley and vies with the local cockerel's wakeup call. Or you may be lulled into a sunset meditation by the chanting of the boys and fakirs at the madrassa. As the sun cools the streets come alive. Children are out playing marbles and catch and some of the young boys, already adept drummers, sit against the houses practicing on old biscuit tins. Friday is couscous day when, after attending the mid-day prayers, adults dressed in their best clothes return to their homes to eat couscous, the traditional steamed semolina dish dressed with a lamb sauce and accompanied by buttermilk. (Never as good in restaurants!)
