Villas in Douar Sidi Ayad

We absolutely LOVED Villa Shabhala. When we arrived, our jaws literally all dropped because the villa is just so stunning! And I think we weren't expecting it to be as grand as it was, so we were all just speechless for a few moments, realising excitedly that this was going to be ours for the next few days! We were met by the house manager, Marwan, who was so helpful and friendly. The bedrooms are all a great size, with space to unpack. I loved that each bedroom had a full en-suite bathroom which are all modern. The various seating areas outside were a highlight for us, giving us different areas to chill in the day and unwind in the evening. Definitely recommend this villa for your family / group stay in Marrakech.

Mustafa, the care taker was very good, always around if we needed anything and he made us a very welcome tea when we arrived and also breakfast one morning on request (€10 a head). There was a slight language barrier but google translate helped there. Comms with the owner Ali were excellent before our arrival and Najate was very welcoming over a few phone calls as she was away until our departure day. The pool was huge, clean, amazing and the house was even better! Everything was even better than in the photos. We were a family of 5 with a 21 year old and 2 18 year olds. The place was so big we each had plenty of personal space when we needed it, but when we came together for meals or to sit on the patio or by the pool it was lovely and cosy. If you came as multiple families there would still be plenty of space. The outdoor table was huge and sun loungers very comfortable. All towels provided. The air con in the bedrooms and the pool being cold were a godsend as it was 48 degrees the day we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped like a home from home with dishwasher, big fridge and freezer and everything else you could possibly need. The Wi-Fi was very good all over the house and garden contrary to older reviews. After our desert trip the washing machine was very welcome as everything go so dusty. There is a big Carrefour hypermarket 15 mins walk away with online motorbike delivery if needed for small fee, which we only discovered after walking there the first time. We booked the airport transfer (a people carrier) via booking.com for £34 arrival and departure. Once there, Mustafa put us in touch with a transport company who charged £25 to take us to the Medina and back when needed. This villa was such good value for money - they could easily charge twice the rate for what you get!

This house is beautiful and very comfortable. We had a lovely time

Spacious villa for a large family. Large kitchen, salon and bedrooms. Guarded estate. Parking available which is definitely a plus in Marrakesh.

Amazing Property! Great facilities including the pool. Spacious room and outdoor area. Great for families!

Spacious property.Good location.

The house was very spacious, way larger than we expected! Location: this is matter of what you need. For car-users this location is perfect - just behind Medina walls, but access by car is convenient, easy to get out of Marrakech if needed, parking available which might be an issue within Medina walls. Kitchen is well equipped. House is clean. Roof-top terrace was beautiful (and would serve perfectly in warmer season). Each room has air-conditioner to warm up rooms in February and probably to cool down later in summer. If I returned with family or friends to Marrakech, I would definitely consider this place again!

Nice and welcoming place with stylish moroccan architecture, very clean, many thanks to the owner Mr Karim and the house manager Naima for their reliability.
