Housed in a large converted 18th-century town house, the Villa Maroc is a model of restrained chic, with airy whitewashed rooms offset by tiled floors and colourful fabrics. The terrace offers great views, while the in-house spa is as well regarded for pampering as the restaurant is for intimate dining (set menu Dh250).
The same operators also have a countryside retreat 12km from the medina, complete with pool, barbecue and three guest rooms. A shuttle bus operates between 11am and 5pm (lunch Dh250).
