Kasbah Angour is a charming Berber castle in a spectacular location surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. Perched on a hill-top in the foot-hills of the High Atlas Mountains, Kasbah Angour has superb panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
This welcoming boutique hotel offers a unique opportunity to experience the region and the Berber way of life. The castle is surrounded by 10 acres of gardens, where there are almond trees, olive groves and beautiful flower gardens. Much of the fruit and vegetables served in the hotel is grown in the hotel’s own gardens. The gardens are the perfect place for guests to relax and enjoy the wonderful swimming pool and the stunning views.
The Kasbah Angour has its own mountain guides for those who prefer to explore the area with a guide.
The rooms all vary in aspect and detail but all are constructed from traditional Moroccan materials, with walls in local red sandstone; floors in hand made clay tiles from Meknes; windows and doors in cedar wood from the Middle Atlas Mountains and ceilings in wood and cane or plaster with sculpted cornices. The locally made furniture has Berber motifs.
Overall this property is suitable for those with mobility restrictions.

The High Atlas Mountains form the backdrop to Marrakech, some 40 miles away by road – and a world away in ambience. A holiday here is the perfect antidote to city life and to the fast pace of 21st century living. Many choose to spend their time simply relaxing by the pool with a good book, surrounded by beautiful scenery, others prefer to be out and about rambling through the countryside and enjoying long walks through the Ouirgane Valley. The mountain vistas are astonishing, and the way of life of the Berber people who inhabit this area is refreshing in its simplicity. A stay in the High Atlas Mountains can form a welcome counterpoint to a trip to Marrakech.
