Forty paces off Ifrane's central square, this self-catering apartment sits on Ifrane 13 in a town Moroccans call Little Switzerland for its stone chalets and cedar forest. A private kitchen and washing machine make it suited to families or longer stays rather than overnight stopovers.

Rooms keep a flat-screen TV, heating for the mountain winters, and a private bathroom; a small garden gives space outdoors without leaving the property. Parking is included, useful given Ifrane's layout favors cars over taxis.

The Middle Atlas cedar forest, home to Barbary macaques, lies a short drive away, and Fez is roughly ninety minutes by road.
