Dar Tassa
"Breathtaking views and simple inspiring surroundings"
Stay at Dar Tassa
Dar Tassa is a Berber house which means the home of motherly love. A beautiful yet charming house in a serene, mountain setting, Dar Tassa is located just over 40 minutes drive from Marrakech inside Toubkal National Park, home to the highest peak in North Africa (Jbel Toubkal 4165 m). Our cosy refuge provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, with all the modern comforts and added charm of traditional Moroccan hospitality. From the moment you arrive we greet you with a steaming cup of mint tea. The wildness of the Atlas mountains and the warm nature of its people help you understand that marhaba, “welcome”, is more than an expression, it’s our way of life here
Dar Tassa’s tiled rooftop provides a restful platform from which to soak up the stunning 360 degree panaroma: spanning the snow capped peaks of Toubkal Park, sweeping down to give a bird’s eye view on daily life in a sleepy Berber village, and flowing along the verdant riverbank to the distant vistas of the Azzedine Valley.
This secret corner of the National Park is a quiet alternative to the swamped trekking bases, yet easily accessible via taxi or a car. Dar Tassa leads a trail into every part of Toubkal’s most stunning terrain. For the easy going, there are many easy walks, and for the diehard enthusiasts there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, climbing, and horse riding.
What really puts our refuge on the map is its location in the shadow of the Takkerkhort Reserve, a long established sanctuary for the regal Barbary Sheep, endemic to Morocco and protected. We can arrange for resident experts to guide you into the refuge to see these wild and woolly members of this magnificent endangered species.
