This is a wonderful guest house with a doorway in the grounds directly into the Sahara. The rooms are charming, colourful, bijou, individually designed and clean, food is fresh and plentiful and the team who run the guesthouse can't do enough for you. The freshwater pool is perfect and heats as the day progresses as it's hot in the Sahara. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this guest house for a great base to discover the dessert with lots of chill out areas in the gardens.

Enchanting guesthouse

Somehow I found myself in a fairy-tale, an enchanting and magical place where people are simply genuine, lovely and respectful, where every detail is beautiful and created with love and where food is always extraordinary delicious, where everybody seems to be happy and in peace, and where silence is the true treasure… truly a paradise!



A magical place!

As others have said, what a gem, and I completely understand how some people would come here to unwind for a week. The grounds are beautiful, and I loved the door to the sand dunes on the side of the garden. 
Paru is a wonderful host, and made us feel very welcome.
Dinner and breakfast were a treat. Both meals were served at a common table for all guests which was a great experience and fun way to engage with some other travels on our otherwise isolated trip.
The rooms were fantastic, clean and I loved the bathrooms :D

Wonderful

Stayed at this lovely guesthouse (B&B) on the way to a desert visit in Erg Chigaga. Initially chose the place just as a stop-over on route to our stay in the Sahara Desert. However, was so pleased to find such an enchanting and peaceful place. Located down a gravel road in back of the small town, at the foot of the desert, lies this lovely and well-appointed guesthouse. It has great design and the décor and amenities are quite well done, especially for a place off the beaten path. There is a marvelous garden and pool, a vegetable garden that they use in their guesthouse cuisine, lovely views of the dunes, comfortable and clean rooms. The cuisine is excellent. I think one of the best meals that I enjoyed in Morocco was at this guesthouse. They cook both Moroccan and international cuisine, which is blessing after you have eaten nothing but tajines for the last two weeks. The service is impeccable. I would like to thank again, Mohammed, the guesthouse caretaker, who couldn't have been a better host and is truly a lovely person. I won't forget my stay there soon and hope to return one day.

A lovely gem next to the Sahara

The town of Ouled Driss has a problem of water shortage so there are many dead palm trees in the sand and we arrived here during a sand storm so it was a not to be missed but very strange and eerie feeling! 

Dar Paru lies behind the small town of Ouled Driss, take the gravel road just across Café Belle Vue and follow it till the end. 

Dar Paru lies in its own little oasis, a beautiful little garden with the desert (and small dunes) in the back yard, the water basin is used as swimming pool. 
This is the very south so wifi is not always guaranteed and hence no payment by credit card and no ATM's.  

We had a nice room (Shakti) with a terrace.  Room with good size bed, good mattress, bedside tables with lamps, sofa (acts as 3rd single bed). Wardrobe and icebox. 
Bathroom with shower, separate wc. 

Very friendly welcome with mint tea and biscuits by the manager.

Breakfast: bread, Moroccan pancakes, coffee/ tea, fruit juice or fresh fruit, ... a nice and good start of the day.

Dinner: the manager suggests a few options as mains and it's cooked at the time of your choice.  Dinner costs Dh 150 for a 3 course menu (starter, main and dessert).  Very tasty !

We visited M'hamid but if you don't need to be there don't go, there's absolutely nothing to see and you can't see the desert from here.  We were stopped frequently by local tour organisers asking "are you the people who booked a Sahara trip with me?" and a little boy threw a stone at our car when we didn't want to stop to give him a Dirham... 

DO go for a drink at Café Belle Vue, a friendly guy trying to make a living serving snacks and drinks.  He also rents out quads and organises excursions but he's not pushy about this at all.  Don't know why it's called Belle Vue but that you have to see for yourself. 

Dar Paru is a nice little place to stay while exploring the surroundings!
