Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceima: soggiorni in agriturismo

I had the pleasure of staying with Mohammed in December, and it was an unforgettable experience. The farm's focus on ecological farming was truly inspiring, and I loved learning about the sustainable practices used in the day-to-day operations. Each day, I was treated to three delicious traditional dishes, each prepared with fresh, local ingredients that reflected the rich culinary heritage of the region. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with the soothing sounds of typical Rif music filling the air, enhancing the experience. Even in the winter, the heating was excellent, keeping the space cozy and comfortable. The area felt completely safe, and I highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to immerse themselves in both nature and culture.

Our family of 5 were looking for an authentic Moroccan experience and we hit the jackpot! Mohammed and his mother-in-law, Farida, were incredibly kind, hospitable and welcoming. We spent 2 nights and would have loved to spend more. Farida showed us how to cook authentic, delicious Moroccan food and Mohamed guided us around the gorgeous countryside with his 2 friendly dogs, Oreo and Rafaello. Mohamed is a wealth of information on the area and Morocco in general and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him about a range of topics. I can’t recommend this Airbnb experience highly enough. If we return to Morocco next spring we will book in to stay in Mohamed’s parent’s house near the desert. Thank you for your warm welcome and friendship

Une belle expérience dans les magnifiques montagnes du nord du Maroc, la nourriture excellente. Ahmed est un hôte génial et son fils Aymen toujours prêt à rendre service !! Une mention spéciale au cuisinier Mohamed tellement sympathique et joviale ! Merci on reviendra inchallah 🫶🏻

wir waren auf der durchfahrt und desshalb nur eine nacht geblieben. ein längerer aufenthalt ist aber sehr zu empfehlen. die familiäre atmosphäre, die grosse gastfreundlichkeit und die excellente küche machten den aufenthalt unvergesslich. die tagine rettete uns am abend und das frühstück verlieh uns die nötige energie für die nächste etappe. wir hatten eine velopanne auf dem weg und mohammed reda war sofort mit seinem geländewagen zur stelle und fuhr uns zur auberge, wofür wir sehr dankbar waren. mohammed’s aufgeschlossene und herzliche art baut brücken. vielen dank für die fahrt im defender und das „bienvenue“ in der auberge.

We had a great time at Cecile’s place! It was like going back in time with the nice traditional house. It was very relaxing at the country side. The kids loved the pool and the house cats. Zohra is a great cook. Her help was great.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place, a real gem. So much to say because it’s really special. Perfect for a cosy, restful, writers retreat, checking out of busyness and into a slower agricultural based rural Moroccan community. There is a well outside the house always activity donkeys and cows which is gorgeous. Amazing sunsets and the house is beautiful with a fire inside for cosy evenings. Would love to come back again!

We were travelling as a family with 2 little kids (aged 4 and 2) and the experience couldn't be more valuable for all of us. All members of the family treated us with amazing hospitality, making us feel part of their family for a couple of days, which was enhanced by visiting them during Ramadan, so that we could share all their celebrations. Our little boys had a lot of fun playing with the family's kids, they got to know all the animals at the property, and we went for a nice walk across the beautiful fields that surround the property, in the middle of the Rif mountains. You will probably have no cellphone cover and life conditions are basic, but if you are looking for an authentic rural experience in North Morocco, that's definitely what you are looking for, as it is very obvious the family is doing it guided by their desire to meet people and not to make business. Overall, and by far, this was the highlight of our 10 days trip across North Morocco.

Toller Ort mit schönem Blick über das Tal in Richtung sonnenuntergang. Die zuwegung ist spektakulär und erfordert etwas mut. Moha ist aber hilfsbereit und fährt zur Not das Auto selbst.

We loved the house, its pool, the view, the breeze, the location, and the layout of the spaces, the animals and the friendly and helpful housekeeper. I recommend!

I liked the place so much, I booked it for an extra extended period. Everything was so peaceful and wonderful. Life is very slow in a very good way in the tiny village of Berwawa. Even though I stayed in the winter, I was plenty warm inside my bedroom with the heater on low. We had some nice rains while I was there and some very clear and sunny days. The rolling green hills looked just like a postcard. So picturesque with olive trees dotting the landscape. The locals continued to be super welcoming and I had no problems whatsoever. Note: The locals here don’t speak much of any English, but we had fun having deep conversations with the Google Translate app for instant spoken word translation. Power remained consistent as well as Maroc Telecom 4G connectivity. Note: Other carriers may have issues, but you’ll probably want Maroc Telecom anyhow since you’ll have the greatest coverage, country-wide. I came to Berwawa to get away from distractions and focus on working and writing music. It was so perfect there that I developed some great playing techniques far beyond my expectations! Mohammed was super accommodating and came to pick me up at short notice when my plans changed and I moved on to Fes. Now, sitting in my sweeping-panorama-view apartment inside the old Fes medina, I find myself missing the tranquility of Berwawa. I wish I could have stayed longer. Never once did I feel unsafe, and I had everything I needed from the local farming villagers or from the little store in-town. Even though I don’t have any specialized “farm lore” skills, I never felt inconvenienced by the simplicity of the accommodations and had no troubles with my daily routine whatsoever. I felt relieved to dial things back and simplify my life for a moment while I unwound in the serenity of it all. I just discovered that there’s taxi service which makes a round trip between Fes and Berwawa each day. The cost is 60MAD (about $6.50USD) per-seat, each way. A bargain since it take 2-3 hours each way. This alone makes Berwawa easily accessible for tourists wanting to get away from it all to enjoy the fresh air, clean water, and the wonderful produce from the bountiful Rif Mountain region. Here, there is no fear of getting ripped off by greedy touts looking to fleece you as you'll find in the tourist traps. This never occurred here. Berwawan's are an honest and honorable people in my opinion. Mohammed’s place has been an amazing experience. Truly the highlight of my entire Moroccan tour. Renting the entire ½ acre citrus, olive and vegetable farm with the large adobe farmhouse proved to be not only a great deal for the money, but an untapped area where there are zero tourists, and local hospitality abounds. I’ll never forget the friendships I made there since you’ll be treated as family with a genuineness of heart that is such a rarity in the world today. Thank you again, Mohammed. You and your family will always hold a dear place in my heart and I hope to come again to Berwawa sooner than later!

we hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad. ons zoontje heeft genoten van de dieren en heeft tijdens het koken steeds in de keuken gekeken. Er was veel meer te eten dan we ooit op zouden kunnen. het verblijf is niet erg luxe of iets dergelijks maar een leuke manier om wat van het leven op het platteland mee te krijgen.

Magnifique Riad ! 🏡 Tenue par une famille chaleureuse accueillante et bienveillante dont parmi eux Amine qui sera vous accueillir et vous conseiller sur toutes activités ou question que vous auriez à lui poser. Les petits plats concoctés par la maman seront vous combler de part leur qualité mais aussi par la quantité, de vrais régalade ! 🤤 À la fin du séjour on a fait une photo avec toute la famille pour se souvenir de ses personnes au grand cœur. ❤️ Vraiment un excellent séjour grâce auquel nous avons pu découvrir le Maroc et sa culture un grand merci à la famille de nous avoir fait partager tous ces bons moments ! 🙏 Si vous hésitez alors n’hésitez plus et réserver les yeux fermés ! 😉

ci siamo sentiti a casa grazie alla guida carismatica, profetica e famigliare del padre di Mohamed. Abbiamo girato la valle che grazie ai suoi consigli abbiamo visto sotto una luce diversa. Ci ha indicato i posti giusti in cui andare e non ci siamo mai sentiti soli o disorientati.

Nuestra experiencia en casa de la familia de Mohamed ha sido muy agradable. Desde el primer momento nos sentimos muy bien acogidos. Nos alojamos con Ahmed y su esposa Drissia, quienes nos ofrecieron una gran hospitalidad y estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades. Aunque no tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer a Mohamed, tuvimos la suerte de compartir con su familia. Nordin nos recibió y acompañó en diversas actividades, llevándonos a conocer el bosque de cedros, el campo y el mercado. Su conocimiento sobre la naturaleza y el entorno fue muy valioso, y nuestras conversaciones fueron interesantes. También compartimos momentos agradables con los niños de la familia, con quienes disfrutamos jugando. Estamos agradecidos por el trato recibido y por la amabilidad de su acogida. Sin duda, una experiencia que recordaremos!! 😊😊😊
