Fodor's Expert Review Riad Cascades d'Ouzoud

At this haven of beautifully designed spaces, materials, and colors designed by a former architect, one of the highlights is the panoramic roof terrace. Just by walking around the space, you will appreciate how much the French owner, Patrick, loves this place and why. The decor is a blend of innovative styles, with many fine pieces (such as the ornately carved doors) salvaged from the scrap yards of Marrakesh. In winter, when the mountain air nips at your fingers, the rooms' fireplaces are welcome; in summer, the riad structure keeps the rooms cool.
