When approaching Chez Talout by car it seems to dissolve in the surrounding desert. Being a little later on the terrace the surprise is even greater: the other side boasts a beautiful palm grove with a view up to the Atlas mountains. On this same terrace the breakfast is served and the views in the morning (and evening) are awesome. The rooms (we had a suite) are very nicely decorated in traditional Berber style with tadelakt bathrooms. Diner is also outstanding. In the meantime they’ve added a nice outdoor swimming pool which makes this place highly recommendable.
