The hotel sits on roughly three hectares of beautifully kept land, with rooms spread across separate buildings within the grounds, giving each one a real sense of privacy. The gardens are filled with olive, date, and orange trees, along with a variety of other stunning greenery, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. What makes this place truly special is the tranquillity – it’s so quiet and calm. During our stay, it wasn’t very busy, which made it feel even more like a private escape. The hotel is a true oasis in the desert and a hidden gem. The pool is incredible, with crystal-clear water that was perfect for relaxing. Although the hotel is about a 30–40 minute drive from Marrakech city centre, the journey is a straight, easy drive – and in fact, the distance is a huge advantage if you’re looking to escape the bustle, traffic, and noise of the city. The staff deserve a special mention – Ridah, Amin, and Abdul Samad went above and beyond for us. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their warm, genuine hospitality made the experience unforgettable. Breakfast is a traditional Moroccan spread, with eggs cooked fresh to order. If you fancy something different, ask for a Shakshuka – it’s absolutely delicious – and don’t miss the fresh orange juice, it’s exceptional. The rooms don’t have TVs, but this only adds to the charm and sense of switching off. We’ll definitely be coming back with the family – this place is truly stunning. To top it off, they kindly allowed us a very late checkout to accommodate our flight, which we really appreciated.

There’s very little we didn’t enjoy about this place. If we were to suggest a couple of minor improvements for Cecile, the owner, they would be small touches that could make the experience even better. For example, having a kettle with tea and coffee facilities in the room would be ideal for those who enjoy a late-night cup of tea. (On our last night, we asked about this and Amin kindly provided one straight away, no questions asked.) A mini fridge would also be a great addition, especially in the heat, just to keep water cold. The only other point is the beds – they are quite firm. A mattress topper or updated mattresses might make them more comfortable, as we noticed we weren’t the only guests who mentioned this.

The property seems almost like a palace, where you can find small villas you stay in. The rooms are big with AC bathrooms are big too. Multiple towels are in the bathroom for swimming pool or for showers. There is no TV in the room but if you find a need for it, you can ask one of the guys Reda or Amine to bring one for you and by the way, the staff is really good and friendly. The property like I mentioned is really big. You can take a walk in it and enjoy the breeze, the chant of birds, the small a trees of olives, citrus and dates. There is a tennis court. The food is really good. There is no buffet and I only took the breakfast. The table is already set one of the guys bring you the breakfast. It's a mixed of Moroccan breakfast, including jam, honey, cheese, yogurt, Moroccan pancakes, or cakes, bread, and the choice of omelettes or normal eggs with cheese coffe tean and fresh orange juice. If you did want the lunch or the dinner, you can ask them to make it for you in advance. Conclusion, I really enjoyed it me and my wife. It was really amazing and we had such a relaxing time where we can forget about work, the crowded city and the big noises.

There is absolutely nothing. You can hate about this place. I guarantee you that! (But if maybe you rent a car or you are a local for Morocco you're going to find a small little problem that the property is really far from the city and the road don't have lights so if you are coming at night, just be careful and drive slowly)

The hotel is like a little oasis outside of the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. We came for a wedding and it was lovely that all the other guests who were staying at the same time were there for the wedding so we had the run of the place. The room was so comfortable and we had a little parlour in the middle and a bit of green space outside where we saw a lot of wildlife including tortoises, birds and a desert hedgehog! The pool area is a really nice for relaxing during the day and then you eat around it in the evening and for breakfast. The menu for each meal is modest but it’s all made with local ingredients and we thought it was just delicious each time. They made us some delicious tagines for dinner. The place seemed to be run by two men who do pretty much everything and they were so kind and helpful and made our stay really wonderful. We had a traditional Moroccan hammam and massage. This is a must try. It was so nice to do the day after the wedding. A bit of detox and relaxation and makes for a great experience. Overall we had such a lovely time and we would love to return.

There really isn’t anything I can think of that we didn’t like. A suggestion would be to have a full length mirror in the bedroom as we were dressing for a wedding and I would have liked to see my full outfit but we made do by using the bathroom mirror and standing a little further away!

Everything was perfect! We had the most wonderful stay for 5 days. We were blown away by the service and friendliness of everyone who worked at Casa Cecilia. Laurent and his team cared for us so beautifully and always ensure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there most days and it was faultless. The pool was beautiful and so relaxing. There was also a small play ground and ping pong room which kept our daughters entertained. Laurent organised cars into the city for us and even drove me to the local pharmacy to top up on suncream when we ran out, so kind, thank you. We would highly recommend Casa Cecilia for families or couples, it's so peaceful and everything you could wish for a relaxing getaway.

Nothing, everything was wonderful.

Really warm and welcoming staff at a beautiful property which is situated around 25 minutes from the centre of Marrakesh (bear in mind that the taxi is c€40 each way) The property and gardens are wonderful. We took full advantage of the wonderful pool, tennis court, gym etc..

The rooms could do with some basic additions (hand soap, towel rails)

Friendly staff Nice garden with lemon and orange trees Location easy to find and practical if going to Ouarzazate

No choice for the dinner Breakfast was served 30' later than what we have agreed (impacting the rest of the trip) No shampoo and No hairdryer

The villa, garden and pool were superb!

I think the lunchtime food could have been more inline with the quality served at dinner. It was good, just not as good as dinner.

The stuff was very friendly, territory of the hotel very beautiful, also the villa was aesthetic with many beautiful details!

If you are don’t plan to rent a car be ready that call taxi from the hotel almost impossible, you will need to ask manager to call for you a driver one hour before you plan to leave to the centre (but from canter to the hotel find the car will be easier)

Good

We came as a family with my 3 children, 1 older and 2 younger. It was calm and peaceful just what we needed for a break. The staff Ameen and Osama were exceptional. The food was outstanding especially the chocolate cake prepared kindly by the owners. I am very picky but this place went above and beyond. Very clean Villas and the eatery was spacious. Home cooked food. We will be returning soon without a doubt. All the best and keep up the good work.

Peaceful location, beautiful natural environment. Exceptionally clean and spacious accommodation with excellent access to places of interest. Warm friendly welcome from Cecilia and made to feel very comfortable and homely. Amil and his brother were too most welcoming, friendly and helpful staff with any request politely dealt with. Food too was excellent. Our visit and stay was a pleasure indeed and we hope to be your guests again in the future.
