Guest house berber · Tisselday, southern side of the Atlas

Our history

A child of the village became a geologist, a house of stone and earth, standing on a rocky outcrop, and l’simple idea that’he is not selling on a journey — he is sharing.

The beginning

Tisselday,

the place root

Ahmed Agouni was born in Tisselday, a village amazigh on the southern slope of l’Atlas, in the valley d’Imine. As a child, he wandered up and down these mountains and s’is left to be captured by their stones in the colors of variegated — to in point (d’in the study of geology.

L’2000, he returns to his native lands, and built on a rocky peak overlooking the valley, a house of stone and earth. Irocha was born.

More than twenty years later, the place has l’age of maturity. It feels, as soon as l’on entry, the patina of warm time : about a dozen rooms, a swimming pool, an open terrace on the sky and the mountains, where l’we actually feel like an eagle ready to s’push to vast horizons.

Years
experience

A story that is built

with the earth and the time

Childhood

The knowledge of d’Imine, the stones of variegated l’Atlas, and a curiosity that will become a trade.

2000

Return to the village. The house of stone and earth, born from the soil, on the outcrop which dominates l’wadi.

In the following years

Hiking, camping, cooking workshops : l’accommodation becomes a way to discover the region.

Today

A dozen rooms, a shared table, a team from the village. And the same taste for receiving.

Here, we do not sell accommodation standardised : we share a life.

Ahmed Agouni — Irocha
A conviction

Welcome

otherwise

Over the years, Ahmed has seen how much the travelers loved to follow him on the flanks of the mountains, or among the dunes of the Sahara, l’hear about l’rich story of this region and discover, at his side, the savoir-faire of its craftsmen. This experience is born of a belief : have more of that’a simple stay, but a sensory discovery at the heart of l’identity, natural and cultural in the South-East.

All meals are taken together, the kitchen is transmitted to the sides of Najaf and Fatima, and the paths to traverse, guided by those who, since always, know every corner.

The pace slows down, and the trip becomes an invitation to reconnect to the essence of the other, and, therefore, to the self.
Our values

What

we anime

Four simple words, held since the first day. They read unless they live round the table and on the paths.

The traditions of the amazigh living, of the rammed earth walls at the table. Nothing reconstituted : what transmits here was already before us.

Here, it n’not hosting a client : it receives a host, and l’we share the few as many.

At the crossroads of the mountains, and oases of the desert, where l’urban s’clears before the majesty of the landscape.

Hiking, eating, meeting : each time, a time d’true humanity.

Walls of mud brick, berber carpets, hand-woven, the panoramic terrace, where the sunsets blaze l’Atlas. Here, the pace slows, landscapes astound you, and l’hospitality berber envelops you.
