“An idyllic escape from the craziness of the city”

We stayed as a family of 4 in one of the private villas. We wanted somewhere comfortable separated from the noise and bustle of the city, but with easy access to travel into Marrakech when we wanted. The hotel only has a small number of guests (main building & 4 villas), spread out over a wide area. It has a lovely sense of space with cacti and yuccas growing across the desert gardens. Also great for big sky and star gazing, a welcome opposite to the cramped bustle of the Medina! The villa was spacious: two bedrooms 2 x singles & double and a central sitting room with a couple of sofas (also a satellite TV). The garden to the back had a tiled terrace and furniture for eating and sitting out, and a large pool (it was December so we only used it sparingly!). It felt very private. The staff seemed to be around and available to be attentive at all times and made every effort to accommodate our needs. The food was fresh and really tasty. The hotel has a minibus, providing a shuttle service in and out of the city (~25 minutes), also the airport (30 minutes when we went) -- it is possible to book times outside of the usual scheduled trips on request subject to availability of the driver -- and sometimes with a charge if it is not on their usual runs or if really early, or very late. We ate breakfasts and one lunch in the villa, but made daily trips into Marrakech for other meals/refreshments and dinners, while trawling the city for the shopping, museums, palaces, squares, etc.

“Secluded and”

We stayed in one of the private villas which was perfect for our needs. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large seating area both inside and outside. The private pool is huge - a little cold for me in December but the lads went in. The villa is very secluded and we felt like we were the only guests… more

The private pool is huge - a little cold for me in December but the lads went in. The villa is very secluded and we felt like we were the only guests although it was fully booked. It is family run and the staff are are really friendly and accommodating - nothing was too much effort. We had breakfast in the villa and a couple of other meals too - all of which were delicious. There is a free shuttle service to and from the centre of Marrakech - the times of which were perfect for us although you can book a private shuttle for a different time if you prefer. I would happily return - next time for more than three nights!

“Hidden gem”

Gorgeous traditional Riad, beautifully decorated. All the staff were always smiling, the main waiter was very efficient. And the owner was charming, she ensured every day we were happy. Ideal place to switch off, soak in the sun, venture out into Marrakesh or go on the many excursions available.
