Such a central location and Yves took us to places we would not have found on our own!

The highlight of the stay is meeting Yves. He is so welcoming and informative!! Ali who cooks is great as well and the breakfasts and evening meal were delicious.

Nice authentic old place in the heart of the town. Food prepared on the moment and delicious. The best thing about the place is the host! We spent a very pleasant and interesting night chatting with Yves and he gave us lots of useful tips for the rest of our journey.

We loved everything about the Dar Dzahra. Situated right in the town center of Taroudant, only two minutes walking to the main square and the souks, this big riad is the place of calm and tranqiulity. The stuff is friendly and attentive, the french host highly knowledgeable and informative. The traditional moroccan breakfast, served by the pool, was rich and tasty, as well as the dinner we took in the evening. A very good option for staying in Taroudant!

Not for me but maybe okay for others

The place was good but I simply felt uneasy there. Not sure if it was the “warning gays” traffic sign in the hallway or the wifi password being 22putin36 that did it. I won’t be staying there again but maybe it is fine for others.

We didn’t know that this place is recommended in Lonely Planet. I chose it as the first option showing on booking.com for its central location. The owner, Frenchman Yves might be eccentric and sometimes he misses the appropriate tone. The place might not be up to highest standards of hygiene but it is very special in so many ways. Yves put much love into every detail and one feels in a mixture between Breton restaurant and Suess Riad. Our kids enjoyed the zoo atmosphere tremendously. The two huskies which just gave birth to 9 puppies. The turtle, the chicken, the hedgehogs. The variety of plants flowering around the pool make the riad an oasis to return after a day in the souq. We spent here 3 nights and are happy with our experience. I understand that others are not. If you look for an uncomplicated, sterile hotel to stay for a night, don’t come here. You need a bit time to understand and appreciate this place and it’s owner. The forthcoming and friendly staff helps a lot in this regard. The only thing that put me off was Yves’ upon arrival pushiness to follow his plan. Take a horse carriage. Do this do that. Have dinner here. He should give his guests the same time to arrive which is needed to appreciate Taroudant and his Riad as very unique and memorable places.

Very nice riad, clean and quiet. The owner Yves is a friendly guy who helped us a lot to better organize our trip. He knows all about places which worth seeing and is open to inform his guests.

Good value for money

Great place in the city center, cozy environment. A lovely, cheerful owner and his two dogs, which is quite rare in Morocco. The host arranged for us a carriage ride around the medina, stopping at more interesting places. Although the driver only spoke French, he was very helpful.

Unlike anywhere else you’ll ever stay. We extended.

The Riad is in the perfect location, with lovely people, especially the owner, who is hilarious. The breakfast is amazing, and includes pastries, fresh juice, tea and coffee.

We had a very special stay in this warm "oasis". Art of living meets Moroccan hospitality and excellent cuisine. We'd love to come back and are looking forward to "Girls Café", "desertvision" & Co.
