Stunning oasis , felt like I was in paradise ! The surroundings is amazing, the location just right away from the hustle and bustle . The pool was perfect, the dining options perfect , breakfast outdoors under the tent was so special, I would return without a doubt. Mustafa , Ahmed Abdelilah and Sala were so hospitable and Mustafa makes the best Margaritas!! So lucky I came across this property when I did . Will be back w the family one day soon

Bucolic, warm, relaxing environment where the beauty of the villa with its garden and the pool, as well as the amazing staff make you feel being in a special place. Food is great.
Cons: One of the sinks in the bathroom was spilling and a lot of water fell on the floor. We saw two cockroaches in the shower and during the night the lights generator is very noisy. More attention in maintenance would be appreciated given the 5-stars.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel au cadre et à la décoration magnifiques et bien profité de la jolie piscine chauffée entourée de lits confortables. Le personnel et le patron sont d'une extrême gentillesse.
Cons: Nous avons tout apprécié de notre séjour à la Villa Al Assala, néanmoins il faut savoir que l'hôtel se situe dans la Palmeraie et que les déplacements réguliers vers la Médina peuvent vite faire grimper la note

Un séjour absolument parfait à la Villa Al Assala ! Le cadre est magnifique, calme et très bien entretenu. L’accueil a été chaleureux du début à la fin, avec un personnel aux petits soins et toujours disponible. Les chambres sont spacieuses, et décorées avec beaucoup de goût. Mention spéciale pour la piscine et le jardin, idéals pour se détendre et profiter pleinement du soleil. Un lieu authentique, paisible et convivial que je recommande sans hésiter. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Un hôtel vraiment chaleureux et convivial — on ne se sent pas dans un établissement impersonnel, mais plutôt comme à la maison. C’est exactement ce que je recherchais, et je n’ai pas été déçue ! La direction est bienveillante, le directeur tout simplement exceptionnel, toujours à l’écoute et attentif à chaque détail. L’accueil du personnel est impeccable, avec une gentillesse sincère du début à la fin. L’endroit est aussi beau que sur les photos, voire même mieux en vrai ! Une ambiance apaisante, un service parfait, et un vrai sentiment de bien-être. Je recommande sans hésiter et j’y retournerai avec grand plaisir 🤍

It was a perfect small boutique hotel, only 10 rooms, just far enough away from Marrakech to make you feel you were in an oasis of calm. The staff were very attentive. The breakfasts were huge and tasty. The menu for lunch and dinner was the same, but there was enough choice to keep it varied. The pool was a decent length for swimming and the loungers were really comfortable. The WiFi was powerful enough to reach all over the hotel and pool areas.
Cons: I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like.

A brilliant location to get away from it all and enjoy the quiet/relaxing big pool and spacious gardens. Easy to get to by taxi from Marrakech. Thanks Salah for arranging the taxi through the hotel when going into Marrakech or back to the airport. It was a perfect service. Comfy van, great drivers and reliable. The pool is heated which was nice in April. With only 10 rooms, you never feel like the place was crowded. The bar area, dining area, and lounge areas felt cosy and intimate. The bedroom was large and nicely designed. Large TV with lots of choice. It was possible to arrange for SPA treatments in the room and they were brilliant. Breakfast was excellent. We left at 6:30 and the villa had a breakfast ready for us. We really appreciated it and it was a great touch. For dinner we ordered a Couscous Royal which you need to give some notice early in the day. It was well worth it. One of the best meals we had in Marrakech! The staff are superb and very friendly. Thank you Mustapha for the great chats and all the knowledge you shared about wonderful Marrakech and Morocco. The team at the Villa Al Assala Paleraie were like everyone we meet in Marrakech: friendly, charming and very helpful. Thanks for a great experience.

A beautiful hotel a short drive outside the medina. Choose it for lush grounds, a friendly team and a great pool. We had a few problems with our room which were raised with the staff and resolved to a degree. Be wary of the superior bungalow with courtyard view… it’s actually in the car park and does not reflect the high standards and ambience the hotel generally sets.

The gentleman at the front desk was very pleasant, friendly and helpful but unfortunately that’s where the good service stopped. The pool area was very nice to sit by in the sunshine. We booked here because of the heated pool but didn’t use it once because there were leaves and dirt in it.
Cons: Two of the servers were just fine but there was an older server (apologies but it’s the only way to distinguish between them, as none had name badges) and he served us several times without opening his mouth or even acknowledging us. He was speaking French and English with other guests but definitely made us feel very looked down upon. The breakfast was poor, cold coffee with residue sitting in it. The second morning we didn’t get half of what we had been given the first day, which wasn’t great to begin with but the second morning we got no pancakes, no eggs, chewy day old bread reheated etc and again….the silent server. The room had cracked floor tiles in several places. There were issues closing all of the doors, the main door to the room and the double doors to the garden. The shower and sink didn’t drain, to the point the shower flooded over the edge after a few minutes use. We had stayed in a Riad for a week before this and had no complaints whatsoever. This was a huge disappointment, especially as we were “treating ourselves”. We walked to McDonalds (3.5km walk) to eat twice…that just about sums it up!!

The ambiance of the small hotel was very relaxing, the staff where exceptional, very friendly and efficient. Our room, number 9 was on the first floor so had a small but useable balcony with a table and two chairs. The balcony got the afternoon sun, full on, from around 3pm until sunset. The rooms are all in one block, all looked to be the same size , configuration, they are a good size, with a great shower, two sinks and a separate toilet. The hotel pool is wonderful, big enough to have a swim, very clean, kept to an ambient temperature, so no shocks when you get in !! Plenty of clean, fresh towels always available and they added a lovely touch of straw hats on each sunbed. Breakfast and our evening meals were served out doors under cover in a shady 'tent' like structure with open sides, very nice. The food was very good, the breakfast was the same every day so got a little repetitive. a selection of three different breads, preserves, yoghurt and fresh fruit, cake and a choice of eggs cooked to order. ample enough but limited in choice.(the resident Cats were lovely and always made you welcome for breakfast and dinner, the younger one is a beautiful colour) The evening food, again limited in choice was fantastic, the steaks were great. We really enjoyed the Moroccan wine. I would recommend the Villa Al Assala for relaxed, comfortable stay. If you want to fly and flop for a week you will enjoy this place and if you want to combine sightseeing as well then it is also a great place, although there is nothing within walking distance, so taxi's are essential, the villa will arrange these and they are very efficient and polite.
Cons: The maintenance of the bedroom 9 lacked detail. the floor tiles in the main room were loose and to be honest dangerous if you were a little unsteady on your feet, they also offered a potential to cut your feet. The doors from the room to the balcony did not fit very well and made opening and closing a problem and noisy. The doors to the toilet did not close but this was less of an issue. The lack of maintenance is also shown in the pool side loungers, most where stained. and ripped or both. But they were as clean as they could be. The only other slight issue was with housekeeping not replenishing the coffee pods or water on a regular basis, we went days with out a change and days they did, very random. I wanted to watch the football on the in room TV but batteries were missing in the remotes, I left them with the backs off to show the housekeeper, but they stayed missing for the next 5 days, surely they could put a battery in and make sure the TV worked. These little issues did not take away the enjoyment of our stay and we would certainly stay again,

The pool is great and the staff is lovely. The location is very convenient as well, not too far. The food of the restaurant is nice as well.
Cons: The mattress and the pillows were very had and uncomfortable and there was mold spots under one of the mattresses. The breakfast options were quite limited. There’s a lingering pee smell inside the bathrooms. The walls and doors aren’t very soundproof. They also don’t want to call a yellow cab for you so they charge 5x the price of a usual taxi. I really don’t get how it got the 5 stars as it has no phone in the room, no fridge, no ironing board.

Cons: Lacked atmosphere and ambience in the evenings .Perhaps more background music needed. Service level , at sometimes was not consistent…for example , we usually had to go to the bar to get hold of menus and to order drinks .

Excellent big breakfast!
Cons: Some of the facilities could do with updating. I.e TV (not that we used it) Would be great to include robes in each room. Toilet could do with replacing to really make it feel 5 star quality. I think it’s a little overpriced compared to other places we stayed.

I am amazed by the hospitality received from the moment we arrived, the attentive welcome tea and biscuits outside in the lounge by the pool, the extra mile everyone went to accommodate us and create an absolutely magical experience and memories. We were a group of 9 people and they would even change the decoration of the space to accommodate tables for us to have breakfast in the morning, I thought that was exceptional of them and really shows how stellar they are in the sector of hospitality. Would highly recommend and will visit again. The entire establishment smells incredible. They also provide the best transport company and wouldn't choose otherwise.
Cons: Nothing to declare, only a stellar review. I was highly impressed. (Maybe a few more vanity kits with more variety)

This is a small hotel with few staff, so they get to know you and the service is very personal. The pool area is lovely, the day beds supremely comfortable, and the gardens are very attractive, especially the large artworks dotted around. The food is simple but fresh and well made. The breads especially were noteworthy and not bought in.
Cons: Our room was a bit tired and could do with a refurb, but I felt that was reflected in the room rate. Coffee pods and water were not replenished each day, a gripe mentioned before in reviews/

Cons: Nothing really had TV channels mostly french German maybe could have few more English than news and could do a little gym maybe and roof top bar on the villa rooms would be awesome . This is only ideas 💡 everything was perfect.We will be back ..

We stayed at this beautiful little villas for 4 nights for our post Valentine’s Day celebration. We booked it due to the rated it has been received and d best int the rating was so high we were assured that this is the right choice. It has beautiful little poor area with couple of sunbeds. Amazing lamb Tagine Beautiful little garden with orange trees
Cons: There are a lot of things we didn’t like so instead of wasting your time I’ll just bulletpoint it. . The facilities in the property does need to be looked after, our door would get stocked wouldn’t be able to close, balcony door very flimsy and shacky. The bed is rock hard not comfortable at all We found lipstick marks on our bath robs to which the hotel blamed the dry cleaners. ( nearly had a break up for this clumsy mistake of the hotel ) Staff are very limited polite and friendly however when you check out they’ll want you to leave asap with suitable attitude. The villas are quite far from the centre with the nice restaurants / souk market 15/20 mins. Hotel will charge you 300 dhm each time for a round trip. The breakfast menu is very limited and blunt. Area not safe ! We were told we could walk to McDonald’s and it’s safe turns out we were chased by bunch of goons trying to rob and take our food.

Very nice place super kind staff very nice owners. Calm, you hear the birds singing. Nice place and interior decoration. Smelled orange blossom everywhere!
Cons: It’s great if you come for your rest however if you want to go to Marrakesh you’ll have to take a cab. However not that far, 15min. Further it would be great if you’re staying multiple days ( we stayed 3 nights), that you get water and tea/coffee capsules in the room refilled (will be charged).

This hotel is a beautiful oasis in the desert! Sheltered amongst the palm trees the bijou Villa is cool even when it’s 30 degrees. The pool was cool fresh and big enough for lengths or cooling down sipping wine on the steps. The room was spacious and again cool! Lovely layout of the room and beautifully decorated. Bed was super comfortable and we had a balcony with garden view which was delightful. Breakfast was simple and elegant. Lunch and dinners were high on flavour and the dining area was perfect for a romantic meal for 2. We had just gotten engaged and the hotel made a real effort to make our stay special with a fab room and romantic flower petals on the bed. We got fantastic service but I think that’s standard rather than anything special for us! All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We did a couple of tours out to the Atlas Mountains and the desert but really we should have booked an extra day to enjoy the tranquil ambiance and wonderful hospitality from Valentine and her staff.

It has been written many times before, but I will say it again - the staff at this property are amongst the best I have ever experienced at a hotel! They are kind and caring, and genuinely want their guests to be comfortable and have a good time. Mustafa and Sala are excellent hosts and made our stay amazing! The property itself is nice, cute and clean. The gardens were nice for my son to run around in and the animals are a nice touch too. The food was excellent and fresh, and the hotel catered to all our requests including making things that weren't on the menu. Good distance from the city centre (10-15 minutes) so it's easy enough to spend a few hours in the old town and then return to the hotel. Overall a great stay and I will look forward to going back.
Cons: Minor point but I thought the food was a little expensive, especially compared to the room rate per night (which is quite good). However if you compare to eating at a restaurant outside then it is at par. The hotel could do with a little refurbishment, but nothing major.

Vi checkede ind hos villa al assala den 7 marts, vi valgte stedet ud fra billeder og gæstebedømmelse samt de “5” stjerner som der stod den havde, hvilket viste sig og være langt fra realiteten. De ansatte er søde og hjælpsomme men det er så også det eneste vi har af positiv oplevelse. Stedet er meget slidt og og slet ikke som på billederne - på værelset blev vi mødt med et meget ulækkert badekar samt dryppende vaske, værelset havde løse stikkontakter og den ene lampe var forsøgt repareret med tape så den virkede kun en gang imellem, udelyset virkede slet ikke - og der var kontant en masse små dyr på tvbordet - Morgenmaden er et par brød med smør, honning og syltetøj samt et lille glas med frugt. . Deres morgenmads standard er meget meget lav! Selve pool området er ok - men så heller ikke mere end det - hele stedet trænger til en overhaling. Deres have er flot og velholdt. Der er en meget død stemning i lobby og ved fællesrum hvor værelserne er. Billederne på deres side er meget misledende og hotellet er ikke mere end 2-3 stjerner, hvordan de har fået 5 er mig en gåde!

Magical place. Stayed in the medina (old town of Marrakech) two nights and then went out to Villa Al Assala which was PERFECT. Super friendly staff and wonderful surroundings, even though there’s a big street and you hear the cars from far, you could zoom out. We meditated in the morning and layed our bathrobes in the grass and did yoga. Since the hotel only had around ten rooms it was never crowded and everything felt very personal. We went for long walks but would recommend that only day time between 9-6 if you’re a woman.

This hotel was by far the worst hotel we stayed in Marrakesh and put a downer on our trip. The hotel is in a quiet area and has beautiful gardens and for the most part the staff are friendly. HOWEVER the rooms do not live up to pictures at all! They show water on a table in the room, that will come at an extra price, none at all is provided and they leave a fairly aggressive note on your bed for your arrival letting you know that bringing in drinks is ‘strictly prohibited’. There was a wurring noise coming from the air con unit/electrics (the air con wasn’t on) that caused the lights in our room to dim for a few seconds followed by a thud which stopped the noise, this happened frequently and also woke us up during the night. We did report it only to have absolutely nothing done about it. We had no way of locking our balcony door so that was unlocked for the entirety of our stay. Two of the lamps in our room didn’t have working bulbs and looked nothing like the attractive ones in the website pictures, there was a slightly foul smell around the wardrobes/loo that never seemed to go away, the walls were cracked and the place really needed a lick of paint! The bath has chunks of plaster missing, the shower took 5-10 mins to run semi warm when turned on full hot. Terrible breakfast (unless you pay €5 for eggs per day) they provide bread, cake and chopped fruit sat in juices that was not fresh, orange juice and coffee/tea, you have to buy water (another €3 per 75cl).

Very cost boutique hotel, rooms in a riad-style villa. Great and friendly, as well as personal, service. Incredible value for money (both for rooms and wine prices), rental car is highly recommended though as the villa is situated in Palmeraie, a posh residential area just outside the city centre. Super cosy with a fireplace with a live fore in the mornings and evenings (and otherwise on request). Pool was not heated, which wasn’t an issue in the Marrakech heat. Was told by the owner that renovation work will be done and that pool water heating is coming soon. I had a special request for Moroccan Khlii/Khlea for breakfast, and they arranged it without issue the say after I requested it.

We had a wonderful stay. The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing. Make sure you have the Tanjia for dinner one night, it's to die for! The villa is off the beaten path, which we liked because it was so quiet and tranquil. Some people may prefer to be closer to all the hustle and bustle, just depends on your personal preference. The car service that the hotel provides is slightly more expensive than local taxis, but in my opinion it's completely worth it. The service is amazing, the cars are big and clean, and you don't have to worry about having enough cash to pay or getting lost. I would highly recommend staying here!

Immediately on booking an airport pick up was offered which worked really well as the hotel is a little way out of town and not the easiest to find. Incredibly friendly and willing staff - sometimes we were not always understood but we muddled through. Food was good, always cooked to order, very good sized portions, enjoyed in front of a log fire - chilly evenings at this time of year. Pool and gardens looked good. Overall a small well run hotel that was good value but not as refined as some of the very expensive ones in the middle of Marrakesh

Staff are hospitable and try their best to meet guest needs. My partner was not well so whenever we ask for hot water so he can drink lemsip the kitchen staff would deliver hot water to our room.

The streets in this area are not named. This property is walled and cannot be seen from the outside, has no address and most importantly NO SIGN to let you know where you are. This is very frustrating when you know where you are going in a rental car. We drove around for 2 hours looking for it. We had driven by it several times but with no sign, it was impossible to find. The owner explained that has never happened before... BS!! PUT UP A SIGN!!!

We stayed there for 6 days and it was like living and having your own personal and exclusive space. The style and decoration was beautiful. Perfect place to chill out and use as a base for going to Marrakesh. You can eat all meals outside under a shaded canopy by the pool and gardens and really absorb the beauty of the place. Staff were great and other guests friendly but not intrusive if you did not want that. Is a little out of Marrakesh but we had hired a car and so transport was no problem. Taxis will be called for you if you have no transport anyway.

Quite far away from anything. So expect to pay around £20 taxi return if you want to go anywhere. Hotel prices expensive, only got provided one small bottle of water each but only on the first night. Around €5 for a bottle of water which was warm and only given 2 cubes of ice in a glass. Breakfast was NOT included with my booking even though it clearly stated on my booking. The owner refused to accept this. Not 24hr reception. Spent most of my time looking for staff. They were friendly though. The cable TV was mostly French. No mini fridge in the room. Provided the wrong number by hotel.com for the hotel so was put in a dangerous situation with taxi fare to go back to the hotel. Sun lounge area the highlight of the stay. Too secluded from anywhere. Could not find one shop or cafe around the hotel. Taxi ordered from hotel was ridiculous. Told 150 MAD one way by one hotel worker, the next day 200 MAD one way 300 MAD return by another. Told off for buying water from the market? Water is a necessity. Paying €10 for 2 when I can get a pack of 6 which are cold for the same price?! The air con in my room was blowing warm air. Asked in the morning, told he would fix it, 4hrs later, not fixed. Asked the woman at reception and she showed me that you had to stand on a table and aim the remote correctly as the cover of the AC was blocking the signal point. I would only recommend for someone who only likes to stay in a hotel when abroad. There was however no entertainment provided.

Fantastic stay. Villa a bit out of the way from everywhere which is good for relaxing but bad as you need to get a taxi into town each time. Staff were amazing and really friendly! Food was delicious! Would 100% recommend and will be going back!

This hotel has ten rooms, and is much more like a B&B than a luxury resort hotel. The owners live onsite, are westerners, and own other hotels -which makes the lack of expected items even more disappointing. There are no bathrobes, there are no basic amenities such as hair products/lotion/cheap disposable razor, no free bottle of water (they charge you two dollars even though it costs pennies locally). The towels are not big & fluffy. No restaurant, just a staff person that will cook you one of ten items on a list - again at an over the top markup. It truly feels like you are just staying at someone's house....and that is what makes it special. The garden is beautiful. The staff are really kind. It is a unique experience and perfect for a family. Don't expect five star, but do expect five star pricing, and be open to what makes this property unique.

Home away from home. Perfect location for a quiet break. However, a $20 taxi ride to town and back. But, worth it. Good neighbourhood. Good service. Moderate sized rooms. Shower could be better.

After a very stressful arrival and passport control experience (the worst ever airport)the transfer which our host had arranged started the holiday brilliantly. Marrakech is beautiful and the villa is the most peaceful place to stay. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are clean and comfortable and staff were the best I have ever met on a holiday. Top marks !!!

I just got back from morocco and basically teared saying goodbye at the airport. I had stayed here with my mother for a week and I strongly believe this hotel was the reason our trip was breath taking. From the very kind hotel staff doing everything to make your stay comfortable, they were so sweet and loved engaging with my mom and I. This villa hotel was so beautiful, quiet and small. It only has 10 rooms and when my mom and I went we were the only ones there with another couple. 20 minute drive from the airport and 10 minute drive anywhere else in, quiet little stay right outside the busy city of Marrakech. The pool was superb, the rooms where superb, and the food was to die for. The hotel employee yaseem was so nice and helped make our trip the best. The villa has there own associations with tour guides/drivers, however our private driver they supplied was also our tour guide for everyday we stayed and it was also very cheap! His name was abdul latif and he was the sweetest person ever, making sure I had a great time every step of the way! I didn't have any intention of returning to morocco but now I must go back as soon as I can just for the hotel! I wish they had more locations around the world to stay in! Just perfect, everything.

Nice enough hotel but be aware that small - 10 rooms, and perhaps overly intimate (some may enjoy this but I found it difficult to get away from everyone) and NOT close to the centre with little else around it. A 'shuttle transfer' as stated on the hotel amenities was in fact a £15 return taxi journey . There's nothing at all within walking distance so can feel in the middle of nowhere which- again , some may enjoy. Staff were hard working and very nice but there weren't enough of them and they had their work cut out bless them

This was my first visit to Marrakech and I can't wait to return. The Hotel was magic. The only thing missing was a fridge in the room! V important feature in such heat to have cold water available at all times. Otherwise it was perfect.

If you want to get away from the normal hotel experience and try something a little more traditional this is for you. The Villa concept was new to me, 10 rooms only, a beautiful pool, great food, excellent service. We were only English there but had no problem communicating. Secluded, peaceful, convenient for the city and airport - would go again.

Very relaxing Villa a bit out of town so peaceful and quiet. The staff are just amazing and made our stay I have never had such attentive service. Would recommend a French phrase book if you don't speak French, the owner is fluent in English but to get the most out of the stay you should try and talk to all the staff who mostly speak French (but are happy to listen to you try your best!). The rooms are huge and ours had a lovely patio out onto the immaculate gardens. A really relaxed attitude really added to our stay too, breakfast at midday? No problem! Dinner in our room? No problem! Budget for taxi journeys into the city centre as you will need these we didn't try the local bus service (at rush hour it looked crazy busy), but the food at the Villa is excellent so sometimes we managed never to leave and really chill out.

A wonderful retreat . The owners and their staff make every guest feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. The food was of fine quality. The accommodation was spacious, the bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. Air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was pleasantly decorated however the shower was disappointing . The hotel is surrounded by well kept , peaceful gardens . It takes no more than 10mins to reach the centre of Marrakech and the drivers associated to the hotel will look after you without being expensive. In summary it may not have all the 5 * luxuries however none of these are missed as you are overwhelmed by the 6* hospitality

We had a lovely stay at the Villa. The gardens and pool are like an oasis after spending the day in the medina. The food is also wonderful as are the staff. Nothing was a problem - they went out of their way to help us clean and prepare our baby bottles and also offered fabulous restaurant recommendations. We would definitely recommend this Villa to both couples and families.

This is a great villa/riad and I am convinced that anyone who stays here will agree. We were made very comfortable and the food and general service is fantastic, You can breakfast and lunch at different places in the Villa: poolside, outside the room overlooking the beautiful gardens - where you can take a walk, or inside the dining area which is also clean and has a warm Morrocan ambience. You get a personalised service which you don't find in most hotels. It does lack some minor 5* touches but definintely compensates in other areas. The distance from the centre of Marrakech by taxi costs 200 MD for a return journey which is around £17. Out of the 7 nights we stayed we travelled 5 times to the main square which cost around £85. Do budget for these taxi rides. And before I forget to mention, my wife loved the spa treatments! Overall: we will definitely be visiting Villa Al Assala again on our next visit. 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5

I cannot rave enough about our stay in Villa Al Assala or Marrakesh. The streets of Marrakech are completely chaotic with a variety of cars, trucks, bicycles, scooters and pedestrians weaving their way between each other, dicing with death. The sights, sounds and smells are extremely exotic compared to home but enticing nonetheless. After a day sidestepping traffic, fighting off sellers of anything and everything and being smothered by the desert heat stepping into the Villa was like stepping into another world. I cannot praise the staff enough for their kindness, hospitality, conscientiousness and eagerness to ensure that we had everything we needed and that our holiday was relaxed, peaceful and unwanting. Our room was spacious and although there were a few little issues, such as smell from air conditioner, door handles fell off the wardrobe, plug hole coming loose from sink, they did not detract from the overall ambience of the place. We felt like we were the only ones there, although we weren't, due to the service and attention to us that we received from Miriam and Mourand. The breakfast was basic but enough to start the day well. Dinner or lunch was served when you requested and all very good if a little expensive. Overall a fantastic place. Will definitely visit again. Also recommend restaurants bo-zin, La Tanjia, Cafe de la Poste, bars in La Manounia.

I took my husband here for a 4 night 40th birthday treat. The staff, grounds, food, suite were all fantastic. The bed is THE most comfortable either of us have ever slept in. The only thing I would have liked is tea/coffee making in the room. Miriam on front of house couldn't have been more accommodating. Drivers into the centre of Marrakesh were quick & easy to arrange. It was nice to be out of the city centre away from the madness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa or indeed return myself. LOVED LOVED LOVED it.

If you want a small,quiet and exclusive hideaway that feels like your own holiday home, this is for you. Lovely pool and surroundings and authentic Moroccan style villa with all comforts and luxuries in a friendly atmosphere . If you want lots of English people then take your friends with you and you can make the place your own for a week as the place is very popular with French holiday makers. You can enjoy chilling and sunbathing there everyday in your own oasis and take occasional trips out but because the villa is a couple of miles from central Marrakech taxis can be expensive. Of course, if you stay in the Villa and eat there all the time, the bill at the end for extras will be quite high, but all meals are very well cooked and presented, better than most restaurants there. They will try and satisfy any request you have but do not expect instant service like a hotel, as sometimes the few staff are busy or just a bit slow. We would go back again to this Villa, but we'd take friends with us as we'd have more people to talk to and more fun in the pool. The pool is great if you have a few children with you!

Very impressed at how beautiful the Riad and its grounds were. Great service; a relaxed atmosphere with fewer restrictions (e.g. willing to accommodate late breakfast) made this a more friendly & personal experience. Rooms were luxurious and stylish, bed was especially luxurious! Close enough to be easily in reach of the city centre, but far away enough to have some peace and quiet from all the noise.

From the moment we stepped out of our taxi we were welcomed with huge smiles from the members of staff who could not have provided a better service! The main Villa is beautiful, you walk through and it opens up to the stunning infinity pool with the huge white leather sun-longers (for which you are supplied fresh towels and sun hatsdaily). There was a nice calm atmosphere about the villa, people were there to enjoy the peace and the lovely weather, it was a very friendly environment. The rooms were lovely with nice balconies which looked out over the gardens. The location was good as it was a relief to escape the madness and the extreeme heat of the city/medina areas, but it does mean approx £12-£16 (150/200 dirhams) taxi ride each time you head out which can mount up. As mentioned the service was top notch, the staff could not do more for you, very sweet, Christophe and his wife were lovely as well (the owners), very welcoming and helpful. (I would recommend touching up your French before visiting Marrakech!!) The evening meals at the villa were very nice indeed, cant be faulted - the only slight point i would make about the food would be that the breakfasts got very repetitive - after a few days the thought of dry toast/ morrocan cakes and coff/eeorange juice every morning fails to delight!! All in all yes i would thoroughly recommend this villa!
