Our time at Le Paradis du Safran was very enjoyable. Lunch was one of our favorite meals in Morocco. Berber bread with argon oil is amazing. Small but beautiful gardens. Looking forward to cooking... more »

This small saffron farm truly is a paradise, a relaxing and restorative break from the hustle of the cities, a destination worth the trip (45 minutes from Marrakech) for its beauty alone. Everything.... more »

Excellent place to stop on a trip to the Atlas Mountains. Beautiful gardens and a restaurant with excellent food. Christine, the Swiss owner has done a fabulous job with this place, and has something of an inspirational story to share. Her contribution to the local community and economy is a standard any expat should aspire to! Highly recommended. Make the time for lunch!

Our riad owner recommended we visit this place for lunch on our day tour to the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech, I am so glad they did! We were greeted by the owner Christine who told us all about the property. There is a large saffron field and gardens with so many different herbs. There is a barefoot sensory walk we took which left us feeling refreshed. Lunch was 4 courses of Moroccon specialities which were all delicious. A truly relaxing place and an amazing owner. Well worth a visit.

This place belongs to a Swiss lady and she knows how to put on a show for all senses. Staff are so friendly!!! We were greeted by the most smiley lady who gave us rose water. She explained a bit about the garden and off we went. The bit with the foot experience was my favourite!! You end up having your feet massaged with oils by a very kind gentleman, after putting your feet into the most diverse textures, temperatures and fragrances. To finish the experience, we were given tea with saffron and the most delicious bread with a saffron dip. I would highly recommend this place.
