This cute guesthouse (known locally as ‘Hotel Italiano’) is hidden up and down a tumble of stairs and odd corners. Rooms are cheerful, and some have their own bathroom and fireplace. Breakfast is served on a cute terrace and you can have dinner by request (a restaurant is being built). Owners Bilal and Hanaa may be the sweetest people in Chefchaouen.
