Villa Kristy

Beautiful retreat in nature, away from the crowds in Marrakech. Very relaxing stay, immersed in nature. Amazing food and very welcoming hosts and staff.

Nothing

This is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places I’ve ever stayed with incredible views of the mountains, a true slice of paradise. It’s very much off the beaten track with no amenities or places to visit in the surrounding area and as we didn’t have a car we were pretty much bound to the villa. We did know this when booking and our intention was for full relaxation after being in Marrakesh and all the staff helped to make our stay very comfortable. The grounds and villa are beautiful where we spent hours watching the free roaming bunny rabbits, tortoises and chickens. There’s a lovely pool though it was a little on the cold side for us at that time of year though ok for a short while once you were in. All the food was cooked fresh, was delicious and fairly priced with enough variety for a 3 night stay. The lemon chicken tagine and roast chicken was a particular highlight. They also do beer and wine which is welcome. We had the atlas room with views of the mountains, it was very spacious with a large balcony, coffee machine, tv and walk in wardrobe. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The pressure on the shower wasn’t great (though nice and hot). And the water from the shower would get all over the bathroom floor, so much so that the bath mat couldn’t even soak it all up, and my shoes and clothes would end up sitting in a wet puddle. We had a bird enter our room at one point that had managed to find its way through a grill in the ceiling, we managed to get it out of the room but only after it pooed everywhere. We did tell the staff who helped clean the room. Though nothing was done about the grill and we could hear the bird again one morning scrabbling about in the ceiling though thankfully didn’t enter that time. Though my son did find the whole thing enormously entertaining and otherwise our stay was wonderful.

Privacy and great garden with animals and fantastic pool, the view of Atlas, great host and private chef- fdelicious food,

Small diaturbance - WiFi signal

We found the bed a little.too soft to our taste. No closet to hang clothes (jacquet, dress)
