HIGHS
- You could hardly get much higher: you feel like you can reach out and touch the surrounding peaks
- Antithesis to the off-the-peg hotel, a place where ‘care’ comes before ‘profit’ and each guest is welcomed as family, in true Berber tradition
- One of the most beautiful areas of the High Atlas and at the centre of some of the region's finest trekking country, yet only 1 hour by car from Marrakech
- Jacqueline has decorated her home with warmth and colour, always looking locally for inspiration
- The best of Moroccan food prepared by your ever-smiling Berber hosts
- Although only a mile or so away from busy Imlil (the centre for organised Atlas treks), Tamartet remains remote and unspoiled
- A new treehouse for 2 - the first of its kind in Morocco

LOWS
- The track up from Imlil makes for a tricky ride in anything other than 4x4 vehicles. It's best, and also great fun, to arrive by donkey
- It's not for the anti-social - people tend to share meals and conversation with fellow guests
- Some bedrooms are quite small with low ceilings. But the feel is cosy rather than claustrophobic
- Electricity is confined to the kitchen and a few bedrooms, so if you want mod cons, look elsewhere
