Although this is one of the most aesthetically beautiful and peaceful properties imaginable, hidden amongst lush olive groves with incredible valley and mountain views, it’s really the staff (mostly from the local Berber villages) who make it exceptional. The Berber culture is known for being warm and welcoming and at Olinto this is felt from the moment you step foot through the gate

Having to leave!

The hotel is truly phenomenal, 10/10. From location to room décor to facilities to service. Everything was unbelievable. The staff is extremely attentive and is always ready to help you out with any requests. We decided to celebrate my birthday at the place, and it did not disappoint a single bit, we even got the cake as a gift! The owner has also greeted us at a dinner table and very kindly introduced himself. The restaurant at the hotel is also great- the selection of both local and old-world wines is the best have encountered in our 7-day trip Morocco. Food is also amazing. Would like to leave a special mention to Noureddine who made sure we have received the best dinner service. When you visit, please make sure to take the hiking tour with the local guide (booked at the reception desk) - definitely a worthy experience! Price is fully justified; we were very impressed! Although some facilities weren’t fully operational due to the tragic earthquake that hit the region in Sep 2023, our stay was nothing short of magical. Thank you, Team Olinto!

The setting is beautiful and the gardens are amazing. The staff are attentive and charming and the food is great. Aside from a few tweaks to be expected from a relatively new hotel, it was fantastic.

Whilst the staff were great and the owner charming, the manager, Jamie, remained anonymous and invisible. He didn't welcome us to the hotel on arrival or introduce himself during our stay (or ask at any point how it was going). He also failed to acknowledge or thank us for our stay despite standing next to us at checkout. Effectively he showed total disinterest which, given there were fewer than 10 guests staying, we found bizarre, rather unprofessional and reflective of a lack of genuine experience of hospitality management. It was a shame as it left a sour note on an otherwise excellent stay but fortunately, the rest of the staff more than made up for him.

Breakfast was amazing as was all the food we had. The staff were among the most friendly and accommodating I have ever encountered in the industry We enjoyed sunset on the rooftop. Drinks and the sunset view are second to none The facilities were clean and beautiful. I was impressed with the bathroom. Shower was large and water pressure was great. What really stood out was how wonderful the staff was at all times. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will think of Morocco and its people for many years

Everything was perfection! The gated pavilion offered privacy and luxury beyond my expectations. The grounds and gardens were so beautiful, the food was exceptional, and the hospitality was second to none! The owner even invited us into his home for a private recital and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Truly a magical oasis and heaven on earth - I can’t wait to visit again!

The place is indeed a mountain retreat. Hidden in a field of olive trees, olinto is a beautiful, serene and peaceful sanctuary. Everything about olinto is extraordinarily special: from the staff, the food, the accommodations, the grounds - all the details were checked off. Convenient access to the Berber villages, hiking trails. What an amazingly beautiful place to return to after a day of hiking or sightseeing. Fantastic 3 nights. Love to go back

Can’t imagine of any.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Excellent service and hospitality. The staff are so friendly and professional. The place is beautiful and the food is exceptional.

We couldn’t find anything bad at all.

The rooms, the view, the food, the service. We felt special and enjoyed everything this hotel had to offer. Only open 4 months but truly impeccable. Only a few rooms so you feel secluded and private. The chef created vegetarian dishes for us that were not on the menu, nothing was too much trouble. We received an upgrade to a room with a private pool, and a complimentary massage! Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Go. You will not regret it.

Nothing

The scenery, the quality in every small detail, architecture, gardens of heaven, super polite staff.

For someone who doesn't like moroccan food, i would like to have an option of a more international menu

Beautiful location and wonderful staff
