It's hard to believe that this idyllic hideaway is only a few miles from Marrakech's bustling Medina. A country house with a beautifully verdant three-acre garden, filled with roses, olive and fruit trees and bougainvillea, Dar Zemora feels very much like a private house, not a hotel.
There is a large swimming pool surrounded by a huge lawn and an adjacent terrace for al fresco dining. The six rooms are stylishly and tastefully appointed, and are only steps away from the pool. One of the suites comprises two rooms in a separate pavilion in the garden, with its own pool. The service deftly treads the fine line between highly professional and discreetly unobtrusive, and chef Jamila produces delicious food for informal lunches and dinners on the terrace.
