Here, natural elements reign supreme. Water, earth, and sun dominate the region and this estate, built in pure Amazigh tradition. Jnane, meaning garden, is the place of old where inhabitants grew their vegetables and orchard fruits. These gardens, still preserved, provide the basis for the savory cuisine served at the farm. Fresh vegetables, as well as eggs and poultry from the farmyard, and milk from the estate's cows.

The accommodations are equally traditional. The douirias, small houses with earthen architecture, are nestled in lush greenery. A perfect blend of modern comfort and ancestral construction techniques. A breathtaking view, with the private terrace and gardens planted with olive, orange, and pomegranate trees in the foreground, and the High Atlas mountains in the background. Many activities are offered, such as swimming in the large pool facing the horizon and the traditional hammam available to guests. But what truly sets it apart from other accommodations is its farm. Children are delighted to participate in the life of the stables, sheepfold, horse stables, and farmyard. An address where one is sure to recharge and enjoy what is today a true luxury, wide open spaces.

A stay at Jnane Tihihit allows for exploration of the region, along the oueds, the watercourses, the walk leads us to century-old vineyards, which border Lake Lalla Takerkoust. A particularly popular destination during the summer period, as people swim there and picnic on the grass in the shade of trees.

A little corner of countryside for organic lovers and a return to roots between gentle living and comfort.
