Lonely Planet review

Paula Hardy
Lonely Planet author

London law-firm escapee Annabella and her husband Youssef offer laid-back hospitality and nine cheerful, shabby-chic guestrooms with tadelakt (polished-plaster) bathrooms. There aren't any pretensions here, just big, clean, Berber-style rooms in organic earthy tones with private baths, winking lamps, and loads of personal attention from Youssef, Annabelle and their staff.
The Sagaya is essentially a Moroccan home open to the public: bold, bright, and typically Marrakshi with the original tiled floors, wrought-iron balconies and seven spacious rooms arranged around a sociable courtyard where superb mint tea is constantly being poured. The rooms to get are the sunny 1st-floor courtyard rooms and the downstairs Douiriya, a secret all-tadelakt grotto guestroom with an enormous tub in the bathroom. Staff organise babysitting and a myriad of cultural activities, from tadelakt workshops with a master artisan and henna tattooing lessons, to staff-accompanied public hammam trips and eco-friendly mountain treks.
