Hidden behind a very unassuming door, the luxury at this posada just keeps unfolding. The five rooms and two suites all have fireplaces, fresh flowers, four-poster beds and highly polished tile floors. There's a hint of the Marrakesh town house happening here, including the utterly delightful minipool.
