Things to Do

Guest Reviews and Location
Villa Maroc has an excellent rating of around 4.6/5 on Tripadvisor, based on more than 1,000 reviews. Guests often highlight the location, friendly staff, cleanliness, and food. Some mention occasional noise (mostly old motorbikes and street vendors) or higher prices, which is unfortunately common for central medina stays.
Final Verdict
Villa Maroc is a great choice for couples, small groups, families, and creative travelers looking for an authentic stay close to the sea. It is open all year, but spring and autumn are the best times to enjoy mild weather and fewer strong winds.
Oh! While there walking by the harbor, watch out for the seagulls above.
