Located 10 minutes walk from and breathtakingly looking down over the centre of Imlil, Riad Douar Samra is accessed by walking through the small and very traditional Berber village of Tamatert passing the numerous quaint mud, clay and straw houses, laughing children play gracefully with chickens and sticks as the Berber women hang out their ornate carpets aloft their humble homes.

Douar Samra is quite simply stunning, styled on a quaint rickety European cottage, half the property is solely run on candle light.

To add to the charm of Douar Samra, Fatima is one of the best Riad chefs in Morocco, producing course after course of the most flavorful, humbly well presented and traditional Berber cuisine available, and always with a welcoming smile.

Douar Samra is a Riad in the Atlas Mountains with its own small farm, with animals and allotments supplying Douar Samra with the freshest, most ecological of produce possible. Home to 4 beautiful and friendly Shiz Tzu dogs, creates a wonderfully relaxing and charming atmosphere at Douar Samra.

The bedrooms at Douar Samra are petite, cosy and very well constructed with slightly more modern décor in the rooms out of the main building and more rustic crooked rooms in the main building, but all beautifully homely, making guests feel at home throughout.

There are a diverse collection of communal seating areas of Douar Samra both open and intimate, all offering wonderful views of the High Atlas Mountains and valley of Imlil below in a cosy homely atmosphere.
