Chez Les Berberes

Staying at Chez Les Berberes felt more like visiting family than staying in a bed and breakfast. We made the mistake of parking our hire car near the chez les berberes sign, assuming that it would be walking distance from there. We were wrong. It was quite a dangerous trek to the riad with all of our bags and toddler in tow (pitch black at night, again our mistake) but Hassan was fantastic he, waited 3 hours out by the road waiting for us knowing we'd need help. There was parking a little closer to the riad but it is tricky without a guide (the family were more than happy to provide someone to guide us), as the roads are narrow and not tarmac'd. When we finally got into the riad I asked if there was anything to eat, assuming it would be small as it was so late but Khadija prepared an amazing 3/4 courses for us. Fantastic food, authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. We wish we'd eaten there for every meal because the quality was so high and everything was so clean. We had very different experiences in the other local restaurants, one of which resulted in my husband getting very sick. Again Khadija looked after us at this time, we were due to leave that day but as the room had no bookings afterwards she allowed us time for my husband to recover and she knew just what to give him (natural herbal remedies from her mother). Aside from these minor holiday set backs, we loved all that chez les berberes had to offer from stunning views of the atlas mountains especially from the terrace, comfortable rooms with a/c better than the hotel we had stayed in, friendly local community and the wonderful sound of the athan ringing around he mountains. An experience that we'll never forget. Would love to visit again (maybe when our baby's a little older), thank you to all the family at Chez Les Bereberes for making our stay so memorable.
