Kasbah Angour | Tahanaout, Asni

Superbly situated on a hill-top in the foot-hills of the Atlas Mountains, only 30 minutes’ drive from Marrakech, Kasbah Angour has fantastic panoramic views towards the highest peaks in Morocco and across the river Sidi Fares valley with its olive groves and Berber villages. A triumph of planning and construction, this boutique hotel offers a high standard of accommodation and service. Completed in 2011, the Kasbah took five years to build and has beautiful mature gardens which include ‘recycled’ old olive trees which had been cleared from a nearby area.
