Taroudannt (also spelled "Taroudant") is a market town in Southern Morocco about 72 km(45 miles) inland from Agadir. The city is pretty unspoiled by tourism without the many touts that define Marrakech.
The rooms are tiny, but most of them overlook the main square and the terrace is a lovely place to observe locals gathered at the square in the evening. Beware, that most rooms don't have wall sockets.
The old palace has 100-year-old gardens and 2 swimming pools. The rooms off the banana court have a stunning setting. This grand old lady got a little run down but is now gradually being done up by the new owners.
The English House
The guest house is staffed by experienced and knowledgeable English-speaking staff who offer guests traditional hospitality and authentic food and a wide range of activities that offer an insight into culture and environment in a clean, 9-bedroom guest house, located for visits on foot to places of interest in the town and the wider region of scenic mountains (the High Atlas and the Anti Atlas, the parched range which borders the Sahara), valleys and the Atlantic coastline. Holidays are tailored to visitors interests; special interest group holidays in a subjects as diverse as dancing, art, wildlife, bird watching and yoga amongst others. Special diets catered for.
A nice B&B just outside the city walls; fast WiFi and a very good breakfast are included. The owner speaks English very well and will arrange tours for you and cook for/with you upon request.

Taroudant is not a big city, it is a small city and therefore it is possible to walk around even on foot.
