This place is just beautiful. We are a family of 4 with 2 young children and we had a great time at Villa Maroc. The taxi brought us almost in front of the entrance and from there everything is within walking distance. We also had dinner at this location and the food was very good.

“A glorious, spoiling holiday in a beautiful location”
Wonderful family-run hotel. Comfortable, welcoming, with delicious food - and an excellent cooking lesson with the hotel's delightful chef. A day by the pool at the hotel's garden location was a great break from the town.

“I stayed on the rooftop. The stair climb might get old for some people, but I enjoyed every aspect!”
Fatima was our host for breakfast. She always had a special touched everything she did. The to location could not be better. Cost a little more than some of the other Riads in town, but well worth it and still not expensive by any standard in the west.
