If you wish to get the real feeling of Marrakesh you must stay in riads in the Medina. Villa dar zina is about 20 min drive from the centre, located in a deserted area, not much then a little private villa with a nice garden and a pool area.

I found it well overpriced for the srvice and quality provided. Not many staff around when needed. Except breakfast everything costs extra, 250€ for a double room, almost the same price for a dbl room in the villa des oranges in medina where breakfast, light lunch, all the non alcohol drinks all day long, laundry is included in the price. I stayed in both places there is no way of comparison between the two as villa des oranges is far much better.

Absolutely amazing place with helpful polite staff. Much better - and in fact cheaper - than staying actually within the Medina, but so much better. The size of the place meant that it was nice and cosy and just gorgeous. Its a bit out of town, but it's only a short drive there and the hotel driver is always available - we never found it a problem. No hesistation in recommending the place
