La Villa

La Villa Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first pulled up to La Villa – it’s about 19 kilometers out on the Fès road, which sounds far but actually puts you in this perfect sweet spot away from Marrakech’s chaos. You know that feeling when you’re driving through Morocco and suddenly stumble onto something that feels like a hidden gem? That’s exactly what happened here.

The thing about La Villa is that it gets the balance right in a way most places don’t. It’s got that boutique hotel vibe without being pretentious about it, and honestly, with a 9.7 rating, I went in expecting maybe some inflated expectations. But no – this place actually delivers. The location works better than you’d think because you’re close enough to zip into the medina when you want that full Marrakech experience, but far enough out that you can actually hear yourself think at night. The staff seems to genuinely get that most guests want to explore the city but also need a proper retreat, so they’re incredibly helpful with directions and timing (trust me, you’ll want their advice on when to hit Jemaa el-Fnaa).

What really struck me was the attention to details that actually matter. The rooms have this authentic Moroccan style that doesn’t feel like a theme park version – I mean, you can tell someone put real thought into the textiles and tilework. The beds are properly comfortable (not always a given in boutique places), and the bathrooms have decent water pressure, which honestly can make or break a stay in this part of the world. There’s this lovely courtyard area where you’ll probably end up spending your mornings with coffee, watching the light change on the Atlas Mountains in the distance. The pool area is well-maintained without being overly manicured, and it stays relatively quiet even when the hotel’s busy.

I’ll be straight with you – the location means you’ll want to arrange transport into town rather than walking, but the hotel can sort that out easily enough. The drive gives you these great views of the countryside that you’d miss if you stayed right in the thick of things. What surprised me most was how this place manages to feel both peaceful and connected – you’re in Morocco, really in it, not just staying in some international chain that could be anywhere. The whole experience feels thoughtfully curated without being fussy about it, which is probably why it’s earned that stellar rating. If you’re looking for something that captures the essence of Marrakech without the overwhelm, this is your spot.

• Exceptional – Andras from Germany – 31 May 2025 (10/10)

  Ein traumhafter Aufenthalt in einer stilvollen Oase
  
  Die Villa war wirklich toll – stilvoll eingerichtet mit einer wunderschönen Mischung aus modernen Designerstücken und traditionellen marokkanischen Möbeln und Accessoires. Alles war sehr sauber, gepflegt und mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet.
  
  Das Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und dabei angenehm unaufdringlich. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir unsere „Mama“, die Köchin und Hausdame Hasna, die uns mit viel Herzblut köstliches, authentisches marokkanisches Essen zubereitet hat!
  
  Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und waren richtig traurig, nach drei Nächten diese zauberhafte Unterkunft wieder verlassen zu müssen. Es war ein echtes Erlebnis, das wir nicht vergessen werden.
  
  Wer Ruhe, Stil und marokkanische Gastfreundschaft in einer kleinen Luxus-Oase sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Absolut empfehlenswert!

• Top – Pascal from France – 28 May 2025 (10/10)

  Un moment suspendu dans un coin de paradis…
  
  Au détour d’un petit village, un simple repère :
  « Il y a un gros arbre devant l’entrée », nous dit Fatima.
  Et là, au milieu de nulle part, une porte magnifique.
  Derrière elle, la surprise, l’émerveillement :
  la villa est somptueuse, paisible, parfaitement entretenue.
  Hassna nous accueille avec une douceur infinie.
  Dès les premiers instants, elle nous touche par sa gentillesse, sa bienveillance naturelle.
  On comprend vite qu’elle est le cœur battant de cette maison.
  Fatima, toujours disponible, est la botte secrète du lieu.
  Efficace, discrète, présente à chaque besoin,
  elle veille sur nos séjours comme une fée bienveillante.
  Autour de nous, un jardin splendide où le temps semble s’arrêter.
  La piscine invite à la sérénité, et Mohamed veille avec soin
  sur chaque plante, chaque fleur, chaque détail.
  Et puis il y a les plats d’Hassna…
  Un véritable festival de saveurs,
  préparé avec amour, servi avec le cœur.
  Merci, Hassna, pour ta présence, ton sourire, ta délicatesse.
  Tu as pris une place spéciale dans nos cœurs. Ne change rien.
  Merci à la propriétaire de cette villa d’avoir créé un lieu si chaleureux,
  où l’on se sent bien, apaisé, chez soi.
  Ce séjour restera un merveilleux souvenir.
  
  Nous reviendrons, c’est une certitude.
  
  Avec toute notre gratitude,
  Pascal, Régine, Christophe, Carine et Manu

• The perfect place for relaxing on the pool and an authentic place to stay – Karl from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (9/10)

  This is an excellent choice if you have a car, it's about 40 minutes away from Marrakech but it's worth it for the great facilities, the freshly made breakfast, the swimming pool and the very nice and authentic villa. It's very calm and quiet, very suitable for relaxation and the rest. The staff are very helpful and supportive and the owner is very responsible, I can't recommend this place enough.
  
  What could be improved: There's not really we didn't like, we knew about the distance and factored it in, there aren't many facilities nearby but with some planning you can get around that

• Confortable and calm stay outside of Marrakech – Benteot from France – 29 April 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing stay at la Villa, It is a very nice and confortable place, well decorated.
  Hassna is very welcoming, made the stay extra confortable by providing us morrocan breakfast and diner.
  I recommend for a family & friend stay to visit Marrakech.
  Note that you will need a car to go around.

• Exceptional – Fouzia from France – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

  Tout était spectaculaire , décoré avec goût . Tout ce que l'on recherchait , reposant. Le jardin magnifique aussi. Le petit déj super.
