Our main responsible policies are:
To provide to nature lovers different treks around Ouirgane so they can discover the berber villages around but also an opportunity to share a mint tea or a meal with a berber family. This contribute to a sustainable tourism.
We’d like to give travellers the feeling they can make themselves at home and feel at ease to ask anything which make them feel happy beyond our team. Our waiters are really friendly though discreet and do respect clients intimacy.
To provide a simple but natural and fresh food cooked with our own bio olive oil and products from the nearest market.
To inform travellers of all the possibilities of a responsible tourism in our area, by advising about other places to stay or visit in order to put forward the other but more simpler guesthouses around. In the same idea, all animals which can be observed in the Toubkal park and shown in our brochure of information.
The accommodation owner helps a village association by providing school stationery to pupils of Marigha. The Marigha school is being renovated by the accommodation owner by wall painting, working to create an alley which joins two parts of the school and providing glass for the windows. Also a settlement of 5 000 DH had been made to a youth association for young people training.
Our guest house employs 15 salaried persons most of them are coming from the village. They are working 8 hours per day with one day off per week. We apply the Moroccan legislation regarding employment. We also provide work to external persons regarding works on our new building. The owner attaches importance to give people of this location the possibility to work with us regarding the fitting-out of our houses (carpet, furniture, works, carpentry etc…). We purchase our vegetables as well as our meat to retail vendors on the ASNI market (10 min. from Ouirgane). For the future hammam, we shall order the argan oil, and all essential oil and beauty products made in Morocco. Also, we plan to open a shop with craftsmen’s’ articles and local beauty products as well as honey or regional products. We have at guest disposal an exhaustive brochure of around 100 pages with lots of information regarding the eco tourism and tourism around Morocco with places to stay, restaurants and interesting location to discover.
Regarding the water, our houses are fitted with two systems to evacuate and separate the toilet water from the liquid waste. As we have lambs on our property, our gardeners retrieve the lambs’ dejectas and use it to fertilize the olive trees. We produce an oil completely bio as we do not treat the olive trees. Our fruit trees are not treated either and depending on the season we cook our tajine with the garden fruits (quince, apple, pomegranate) and our oil olive. We grow our own corn for our lambs and feed them with the peeling of vegetables also as well as the lucerne growing up in the garden. We sorted out the garbage and select the plastic, the papers and retrieve vegetables peeling for the lambs. Our houses are made in “pisé” the typical material of berber houses. We use the tadelakt also on our walls and give priority on craftsmenship like “tataoui” on the ceilings (twisting reed), colourful sabra fabrics, carved wooden furniture, Moroccan tiles. In the office we retrieve the printed paper for another use like clients’ bill of order or for draft.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
