We stayed here at the end of November and everything about the villa exceeded my expectations; its grounds, the public outdoor terraces and open courtyard are just as beautiful as others have written before me. Even the entrance drive is charming and beckoning. The riad's rooms feature beds my daughter in law rightly described as 'cocoons' and each is supplied with clementimes, mandarines, homegrown of course and fruit biscotti. From your balcony you may enjoy your breakfast made to order which is included in the rate. ( and which I didnt discover til the last morning)There is artwork, and antiques everywhere you look in this charming inn; I hope to put up pics soon. And although there is a book detailing the history of the original villa in each room, I never had time to read it!
Walking into the large lounge with its cozy fireplace seating was very welcoming on the cold night we arrived and on our way to the bar we passed through a room with a pool table which led to the bar and then to their restaurant. At one time I was pushing my darling granddaughter in her stroller and realized it was all very accesible.
In fact re-reading this, I see how clever and successful were the efforts to open a home to the public while maintaining the original comfort and ambiance of a beautiful villa sheltered from the bustling city. The riad , the addition is tucked behind the main buildings a short corrider away from the front desk.
We ate supper there once; both the food and service were excellent. My son and daughter in law live about 2 hours from Rabat and he for one was extremely impressed; he ordered a rare steak and got exactly that! Apparently it is a commodity he hadnt been able to find in many restaurants.
I took my little Clara down to breakfast with me that last morning so her parents might have a lie in and we sat in front of one of the huge windows watching the peacocks and birds in the lovely sunlit garden which was filled with fruit and angel's trumpet trees and gorgeous flowered vines that reached the highest trees; needless to say I didnt want to leave. The breakfast was small just enough- omelets to order, fruit, and pastries so divine as they always are wherever the French have influenced. They are served with their own homemade jellies and jams, my favorite was the mandarine- not marmalade mind you but jam. You can purchase them at the front desk. I hope you have better luck than I for they had none of the mandarine left.

We stayed in this villa for one night. It is a magnificent old villa full of Moroccan art situated in the middle of an orange grove, in a suburb or Rabat. The gardens throughout the property are amazing, full of exotic tropical plants. The rooms are decorated with old Moroccan furniture and beautiful Berber carpets. Our room was spacious and impeccably clean. The bathroom had all amenities necessary to make your stay comfortable. Throughout the villa there are little spaces where you can sit and read, and think. As an added convenience, the hotel has WiFi.

We were picked up by our driver in Casablanca and taken to Villa Mandarin for our first night in Morocco. How divine it is. The garden is sensational with the peacocks roaming around. We had a beautiful dinner in the restaurant garden. The rooms were fantastic with all the splendour of Morocco. The staff were great and couldnt do enough for us. Just thinking of wandering through that garden wants me to return.

This hotel has lots of local character, without sacrificing efficiency or comfort. The grounds are lovely, with orange trees and pretty landscaping, and even better, fragrant air especially in the evening.

The rooms are clean, spacious, locally decorated, and efficient. The floors are clean tile, the bed comfortable, there's a desk with a little box covering the sockets for electronics, and a good flat screen TV. A large bath has a window. Lovely linens and comfortable bed.

The restaurant is also very good; you can sit outside or in, and the service is very good.

A most pleasant stay, the kind that makes you wish you had an extra day.
