A couple of kilometres past Tnine is this farmhouse eco-museum housing a traditional Moroccan olive-oil press. The French wall text covers some interesting facts – olive trees can reach 2000 years of age, and 80% to 90% of Moroccan olive trees yield Picholine olives – plus enough industry-insider minutiae to satisfy olive obsessives. Tastings of estate-grown oils, jam and bread are offered in an adjoining room; a restaurant was under construction at the time of our visit. A stone villa guesthouse and bungalows (doubles/quads Dh880/1100) offer comfortable quarters in 10-hectare gardens, plus a pool right in the olive grove.
