The staff went out of their way to help and make our stay enjoyable. The hotel is an excellent example of Morrocan architecture, decor, and hospitality...a true delight!
Quiet and peaceful. Perfect for relaxing in after day exploring nearby laid back Essasoura. Wonderful staff who were always available to help. Pool cold but so refreshing in February. Show case Moroccan arts at its best.

We were there in the off season. It was quiet and clean and beyond beautiful. I felt like we were staying in a palace. The breakfast area was comfy and clean....i could have hung out there all morning. Sweet kind staff.

Beautiful riad in what was once someone’s huge house. The rooms are big and there very nice sitting/reading rooms and patios guests can enjoy. The courtyard and pool was also very nice and would be great in warmer weather! The riad is located about a 10 minute walk to the medina and across the street from the ocean. There are several beachfront restaurants across the street and other options a short walk away. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay outside the bustle of the medina, Villa Quieta is a great option

I can’t understand all the rave reviews. This place is out of town with no restaurant or bar and all the surrounding restaurants were closed too. It is cold inside in the winter.
My room was large and comfortable. I was given an upgrade l think to a suite.
There was only heating in the bedroom so the sitting area and bathroom were very cold.
Pool area is nice enough. Breakfast was ok but not amazing like l was expecting after reading the reviews.
I left some things behind in the bathroom and when l rang several hours later they couldn’t find them which l thought was poor.

I am sorry to read your comment, which does not correspond to the image I would have liked you would retain after your stay with us.
regarding the heating there is one at the bedroom and the other one at the bathroom, and about the 02 objects that you forgot ,as discussed by phone we were at the hotel address that you give us by phone but they informed us that you have already left.
Thank you again, I wish to have the opportunity to welcome you again very soon among us.
Kind regards.

Great staff, old buliding
I want to start by saying the staff who work here are lovely - super nice and helpful. Every single one! My poor review is for the facilities. Everything needs care. It seems like they haven't replaced drapes, carpet or repaired things in a long time. It does seem like that's pretty much the state of all the hotels in town. It's pretty tired.

This hotel exceeded our expectations especially on quality and price ratio. The hotel is beautiful in its deco, open, spacey and airy. Lovely garden for resting and a good size swimming pool to cool down.
The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Outside the room there is a seating lounging area marrocan style. The hotel is far enough from the medina to avoid the noisy but close enough for a nice walk.

Good not great. Breakfast a little Meh especially for Morocco.
A few times needed change to tip the help etc. the front desk never had any so had to apologize profusely on several occasions run into town and come back just so I could tip the waiter .. a little silly.
Rooms were very clean ... staff super pleasant. Parking reserved right outside which is SOOOO convenient if you are driving in.

This beautifully stylish hotel is set facing the beach and a 15-20 minutes walk from the Medina, which is good if you don't want to be right in the hustle and bustle but want access to it. The staff are excellent and really look at you. I was upgraded for my first night. Dry hotel.

Stayed for 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. The staff are absolutely wonderful at this hotel. Made it feel more like a family stay than a hotel. Location is about 20 minute walk to 20dh taxi to the medina. Its an oasis of relaxation, especially after the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. There is no bar so if you want a poolside beverage, BYO or hop across the street to the beach bars. We stopped at a winery on the way in and they gladly chilled the wine we purchased and brought it out with some small snacks.

Lovely staff at this hotel, generous size room and lots of other lovely public spaces to relax. Would personally re-jig the pool area a little adding more umbrellas for shade (just two for seven sunbeds). Would also remove some tables and add extra sunbeds as hotel only serves breakfast at the moment and they take up valuable sunbathing space :) Breakfast was fabulous and all the staff are exceptional.

This hotel is so beautiful and the staff are amazing. We walked from the bus station and I was a bit concerned about the look of a few buildings around our destination but true to Morroco, one you get there and enter the walls it is a 10. Stunning and will definitely stay again when we come back.

room. The second nigth, since the current room was no more available, we had, at the same
price, a room which was more the room of a sultan than anything else. Unforgetable. Thanks again

Loved the amazing decor and the position of the hotel at the quiet end of the promenade only a 20 minute walk from the Medina. The hotel was relaxing and the staff most helpful. The garden is delightful and the pool area attractive although in February the water too cold for a dip!
The hotel does not offer meals apart from breakfast but we dined many nights at Riad Zehra just round the corner and had the most delicious fish and seafood.
Breakfast was enjoyable. It would however have been better to have been offered the egg options before the chocolate croissants, pikelets etc.
All in all a most delightful stay and we would thoroughly recommend.
