Review
"Your house is beautiful in its design and its setting but there is nothing to compare to the soul that emanates as you hear the chatter of the ladies in the kitchen. Your team has worked very hard and successfully to make our stay unforgettable. Each meal delicious, served elegantly yet without excessive formality. Lots of vegetables and spices. The house working invisibly and seamlessly no matter time of day. Each evening fires set in principal rooms. Each morning a delicious breakfast. I cannot praise the team highly enough."
"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Dar des Roses. We are looking to go back to Morrocco at Easter - just our family this time."
" wonderful team of staff''

Morocco is an enjoyable destination all-year round with lovely temperatures in the winter months. Our customers also enjoy our villas in Morocco in the summer months due to the dry continental climate. There is low humidity, temperatures drop at night and it is very pleasant in the shade.
