ferme by Ikalimo

The hotel is situated in a beautiful position on a hillside in the Ourika Valley. The rooms are good as is the food and there are plenty of activities at Ferme Ikalimo which of course include the farm but also pottery, bread making etc. However the thing that really makes this stay special are the staff. Abderrahim and his team go all out to make your stay memorable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are friendly and helpful, an exceptional group of staff, especially Abderrahim.

The only thing that has been mentioned by others is that there are a lot of steps in the property as it’s on a hillside. However the staff do everything they can to assist. I’m disabled but Abderrahim helped me with my luggage and ensured I had a room which involved the fewest steps possible. Once I’d arrived I didn’t not find the steps problematic - it just meant there were certain areas, like the farm itself, that I didn’t visit because I didn’t fancy doing all the steps - however this really dishrag affect my enjoyment of my stay. It’s a lovely spot- so quiet and peaceful.

Everything was perfect

Our room was lovely, the staff is fantastic, and the food on the premises was delicious and reasonable. We were there during a school function (children there for the farm) and got to enjoy a potter and all the farm animals. We loved our stay and the restaurant and sitting areas were comfortable and inviting. This is the kind of place you go to and stay for the day, not really go back out and explore the area. Only the area of the farm, river, and nearby souk.

If you are not able to climb steps, this is not the place for you. The steps are MANY....that is not an exaggeration. Once we left our room to go down to eat and explore we packed a backpack so that we didn't have to return until it was time to retire. (They did bring our dinner UP, which was nice). If you can walk up steps I recommend this, but just know for elderly this may be a stretch. Shower was broke, but we had two connecting rooms so we were okay.

Service, food, amneties and the views

The room was big for our family of 4. The staff was exceptional. Abdou and his team made our stay so comfortable

The stairs :(. It’s not bad but it is not ideal with families with younger kids. I would say if you have kids under the age of 5, reconsider staying there. The accessibility makes it harder for younger kids. There is also no menu for kids. This is not necessarily a bad thing if your kids are not picky eaters.

It was the cutest place we have ever been, like a fairytale. With polite and helpful staff, stunning views and brilliant facilities! We loved the animals and enjoyed making pots and having a private Hammam. Arriving we crossed a little bridge into the restaurant, we were treated so well and the food was delicious homemade. We are vegetarian food that was fresh! Aubergine salad and lentils were amazing! The manager Abdul was kind and accommodating! We will be coming back!

Extremely good quality for money and strongly recommend.
