Fodor's Review:

Owner Fabrizio Ruspoli has created this small hotel for those craving old-fashioned, intimate charm without riad fashionability. The hotel artfully blends Moorish and European design (note the Italianate reading room), and each of the four courtyards offers grandeur on an intimate scale. Rooms are small and staunchly Arabian, but are well appointed and air-conditioned. Many suites cover two or three levels. In the medina near Bab Doukkala, the house was once a famous restaurant, the first to serve Moroccan cuisine to such European notables as Winston Churchill. Breakfast and afternoon tea are complimentary, and the service is excellent. There's free shuttle service to a private pool in the Palmery, about 15 minutes away.

This is an exceptional place. They covered every detail, no matter how subtle, and absolutely made us feel like we were in a special place. Hands down, the nicest and most romantic place around.
