This is a riad in every sense of the word, with overwhelming hospitality, home-cooked food, and a lived-in feel that isn't luxurious -- but doesn't pretend to be, either. Habib and Latifa Moultazim don't speak a word of English, but that hasn't stopped them from greeting a steady stream of guests from around the globe into their family riad. Their five-bedroom house surrounds a large central courtyard with twin, bird-friendly gardens with umbrellas, orange trees, banana palms, and bougainvillea, separated by a dining area with a long, communal table. The rooms are more quirky than quaint, and haphazardly furnished but perfectly adequate. Three rooms can take at least one extra bed, which is a plus for families. Not all rooms have a private bathroom, but the common bathrooms are spotlessly clean. Latifa's kitchen produces some of the best Moroccan food I've tasted and negates the need to deal with the lack of quality restaurants in Taroudannt. Habib can organize any day trip or activities, including a day drive/trek into the Anti-Atlas for 300dh. Or, if you just want to stay in, the courtyard is entirely bordered with cushions and lounges, plus there are a satellite TV and a CD player.
