Comments

I visitied in March 2025 with a group of friends to celebrate my 40th birthday.
The riad was spectacular. We spent the days on the roof by the pool on the sunbeds. The rooftop has been well thought out with shaded seating areas (for those who don't like sun!) and also a shaded dining table. There is also a small area on the roof level with fridge and various glasses so we could help ourselves to drinks throughout the day.
In the evenings we would move to the inside dowstairs area. We were there in March so the evenings got a bit cold and Ghirlane made a fire for us. We then could chose between a couple of seating areas for pre/post dinner drinks.
Every single bedroom had special touches and an en suite with gorgeous Moroccan tiling. The beds were comfortable and the linen felt luxurious. Five of the bedrooms are set around the courtyard and we enjoyed hearing the birds on the trees in the courtyard in the morning.
The staff were wonderful. Ghirlane helped us book a hammam which took quite a lot of calling round places. She really made us feel like nothing was too much and we were so appreciative. The food was incredible. The breakfasts were a mix of french bakery products but with Moroccan influence. We were made fresh brioche and cakes that were warm out of the oven and fresh eggs every morning. We had two dinners in the Riad, and it was the best food we ate during our trip. We had the chicken tagine with olive and lemon on the first night which was absolutely incredible and the lamb parmentier on the second which was also spectacular.
There is also an office with a printer which was useful when we realised we had not printed our boarding passes on the last night.
We loved the location of the riad because we wanted to be able to walk everywhere. We arrived Thursday and left Sunday so wanted to be able to walk into the main square every day. The area felt safe, as did the walk in.
All in all, the riad felt like a real treat and we would definitely want to book again. Definitely recommend!

I would also use Villanovo again because the communication was fantastic in the run up to the trip and it was very convenient having Simo at the end of Whatsapp who you could ask questions to and help organise things for your guests.
I was surprised that we were charged extra for the self service coffee as most places would just provide free coffee for you to have before everyone is up for breakfast. That was the only thing!

Situation géographique
Décoration magnifique
Des chambres très propres
Nous avons eu peu d'explication quant aux prestations sur place et la communication avec le personnel était insuffisante.
Quantité limitée au petit-dejeuner.
Nous sommes surpris d'avoir à payer des bouteilles d'eau alors que nous n'avions jamais eu la carte des boissons ni détail de ce que nous pouvions consommer ou non.

Les parties communes extérieures - rooftop ainsi que le staff, présent et efficace.
Simo de Villanovo sur place est super réactif, très bonne préparation de Ines aux petits soins pour notre YPO retreat. Les recommandations ont été tops, le planning bien huilé, un sans faute. Merci à toute l'équipe

Bonne situation géographique dans la Medina.
Très belle décoration intérieure du Riad.
Riad convivial, on se sent chez soi.
Personnel attentif, aimable, professionnel qui participe au bonheur de loger dans ce Riad.
L'assurance d'une équipe professionnelle (villanovo) qui répond a toutes les demandes.
Un peu trop prêt d'un point d'appel à la prière qui réveille tous les résidents du Riad, à 06H00 du matin

Un seul point: l'effet écho dans la cour intérieur de l'appel à la prière de 4h du matin qui malgré des boules Quies réveille de façon certaine

Riad splendide, décoré avec raffinement. Les chambres sont grandes et les salles de bains magnifiques.superbe adresse! Le personnel est aux petits soins pour les hôtes , d’une gentillesse incroyable. Tout ici est fait pour vous faire plaisir ! Et surtout surtout Meryem la cuisinière véritable top chef qui nous a concocté les meilleurs plats de la cuisine marocaine. Un vrai délice! D’ailleurs nous y avons pris tous nos repas! Les petits déjeuners étaient incroyables, jus frais et différents tous les jours, crêpes marocaines, cake maison orange ou citron, brioches, etc etc! La plus belle adresse! Nous reviendrons certainement! Merci aussi à rezlan pour son œil attentif au besoin de tous!

Service parfait de la part de Villanovo!
Je n’en trouve aucun!

We really loved, loved, loved the ambiance of the riad. The home is beautifully and intentionally designed. We also loved the service staff! Very soulful human beings, very friendly, welcoming, and trustworthy. We also loved the interactions with Bettina of Villanovo, she was speedy in her responses and a great communicator.
We disliked that there was a broken communication chain with the driver we had booked. It was a bit stressful to converse with Bettina about the drivers arrival/pickup vs. being in touch directly. And even when we requested the number of the driver to "text him" when we're done at a museum, we reached a woman at a service desk, and couldn't converse with the driver directly, which lead to frustration on his end and ours. ALso on our departure day, the luggage pick-up didn't arrive, so there was time lost for us waiting for them, and the driver waiting for us :)

While the food was good, that was prepared by the staff for us, we felt the ambiance of a dinner experience was not as high-end/visually appealing as the rest of the villa would suggest. The same for breakfast. We felt the breakfast could use some variety conversation in advance, what's wished for breakfast. (We LOVED the fresh juices, fruit and home-made pancakes though!)

Lastly, we felt a bit uncomfortable having to pay in cash upon check out, when the rest was paid via transfers/creditcards. Problem was solved immediately (By paying half in cash) but you could feel the frustration on staff side.

Miriam the cook was excellent. Really pleasant and accommodating.

I would have rated the Villanovo service as excellent had it not been for prolonged email response times which had me concerned at times whether the service was legitimate. Which was a shame because all other aspects of your service was excellent.

The only other feedback i have is that it would be good to have an understanding on in-house food/alcohol policy ie whether you can/cannot bring in your own and if you can cook yourself.

Beautiful Riad and well kept in an excellent location. It was very clean with a beautiful interior.

Great Villanovo website. Keep up the good work
The breakfast was pretty basic and better/higher quality ingredients should be used.

La terrasse d’exception avec une vue splendide sur Marrakech.
Nous bénéficions de toutes les expositions au fil de la journée sans être enclavé au milieu d’autres raids.
Le gros plus de la maison est aussi la piscine, très rare sur le toit d’un Riad. Nous avons été tous séduits par la décoration très soignée.
À préciser, le professionnalisme de l’équipe au sein du Riad, très appréciable!
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour.
L’eclairage Trop faible sur la terrasse le soir notamment lorsque nous dînons ou en prenant l’apéritif. Il faut sans doute rajouter des lampadaires extérieurs en plus des appliques murales. Les lampes Fatboy ne suffisent pas. Autre point à améliorer: la pression de la douche notamment dans la chambre avec la tête de lit grise et les fauteuils en cuir rose.
Pour les autres SDB, nous n’avons pas questionné nos hôtes.
