We stayed 4 nights for a winter sun break; afternoon temperatures were 28-32 C with lovely blue skies after the almost continuous grey of Liverpool in October. Villa Makassar is a fabulous place to stay in the Kasbah part of the Medina. The Villa Makassar facilities are excellent (my wife had her first visit to a Hammam), with lovely Art Deco furnishings, a quiet rooftop terrace/bar, and all the staff are not just efficient, they are helpful, knowledgable and extremely friendly (shout-outs for Samira, Jalila, Yousef, Ismail, Ouafaa, and Billy the piano player). Breakfast was varied each morning with decaf coffee available, and the one dinner we had on the first night was well-prepared and delicious; better than meals we had subsequently at Azar and Al Fassia Aguedal. We would thoroughly recommend this boutique hotel to anyone visiting Marrakech. It is an oasis of peace, tranquillity, and exceptional service with the excitement and chaos of the Medina just outside the front door. Most of the sights and sites of the Medina are within easy walking distance. We would certainly stay here again if we return to Marrakech. Alan & Dee
