Peaceful, tradtional Riad
Pros: Traditional Riad with good Moroccan vibe. Gaia was very helpful with good tips on the local area. Hassin & the ladies work hard to keep the place clean & to feed everyone well. The rooftop jacuzzi was great after a day's walking in the Medina. Perfect location as it was peaceful but close enough to everything.
Cons: Our room was small, especially the toilet, but it had pretty much everything we needed. Loved the traditional style and the shutters are great.

Pros: I highly recommend this riad. The staff and owner are very very helpful, and there are many amenities inside. We felt well taken care of. It is clean and well maintained. Everything is close by (7-15 minutes by walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and other touristic destinations), both the city center and nearby restaurants. At the same time, it is very quiet, so you can relax. The rooms have everything you need and are very pleasant with a bathtub. It was a pleasant stay.

A jewel in Marrakesh!
Pros: Our stay at La Villa Marrakech was simply amazing. Located in the kasbah it's away from all the chaos but still just a 15 minute stroll from the center of the Medina. The Riad is so unique, the decor and layout gives a real sense of calm, we couldn't believe how quiet it was. Gaia was the perfect host, on our first morning she gave us a brief explanation of the interesting things to see, was always available and can help with any excursions. As we stayed a week, the highlight was the relaxing area on the rooftop and the amazing cool swimming pool, Bliss after a day in the heat of the Medina. If/when we return to marrakech I'm not going to look for anywhere else as I don't think I'll find anywhere more enjoyable as this. (The food was excellent also!)
Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Amazing riad with a wonderful host, highly recommend!
Pros: This is an excellent riad. It is located in the Medina, but away from the most packed and chaotic areas. It’s 20 min away on foot from the Koutobia mosque, very convenient. The room is very large with a bath and all the amenities, and a Very comfortable bed. The riad has a lovely rooftop terrace, and serves a nice breakfast - they mix it up day to day, but always have eggs, yoghurt and fruits, and some Moroccan pastries. Gaia, the owner really made our stay exceptional. She gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants and was very helpful with tips! I highly recommend and would book again if back in Marrakech!
Cons: The only slight negative (which did not in any way impact our stay) was that the water pressure in the shower and sink in the mornings took a minute or two to be at the needed level.

Book this one - you won't be disappointed!
Pros: Gaia and her team are fantastic hosts. Lovely accommodation. Clean (including the pools) comfortable - perfect. We loved our room. It was quiet compared to much of the old city so really highly recommend. Nothing was too much trouble and Gaia took a lot of time explaining the area, best trips to go on, taxi transfers etc... She speaks a number of languages including perfect English. Lovely breakfasts, recommend the omelettes. There are bed toppers on all of the beds. I see from other hotel reviews in Marrakesh that this is recommended because locals prefer very firm beds. We've returned feeling like we've had a proper holiday, relaxed and refreshed. Thank you all for going that extra mile for us!

Pros: This riad is an oasis in the middle of the city. It's beautiful with many plants, many details, a heated pool and very nice rooftop with a warm jacuzzi and sun lounges. The room was very comfortable, but a little small with 2 pieces of luggage. The breakfast was very good.
Cons: It's not a big issue and I will not reduce my rating for this, but they only speak french at this riad. If you don't speak or understand much french, it will be a little hard to follow the questions raised to you. I would have expected to be able to communicate in english with the owners/staff. Our room had a separate toilet, but this room is very very small. We are both short people, but even for us it felt too small.
