Save to favouritesPrintMailLa BergerieThere's a wonderful sense of space here: 12 acres of open skies and and pine-scented air. From the rustic auberge, gravelled paths meander down, past an inviting pool flanked by trim lawns and white-cushioned day-beds, to lose themselves in terraced gardens bursting with rosemary, geranium, mimosa and lavender. Hidden among these are 5 stone-built bungalows, festooned with ivy, which house the spacious [r:MC018:garden suites]; further down is the original earthy-yellow inn, where 10 simpler [r:MC018:rooms] huddle around a patio garden. In the distance, rugged mountains rear up towards the peaks of the High Atlas, speckled with brilliant green pines and pisé hamlets camouflaged against the reddish earth. Hats off to the French pioneers who bought this fertile land outside Ouirgane and transformed it into such a lovely, peaceful mountain hideaway. It has since changed hands and we have heard mixed reports under the new ownership, so you might want to check our [reviews:MC018:latest feedback] before booking. But, if the service and food can be nailed, this has the potential to be a great midrange place to stay in the most accessible part of the Atlas Mountains.
