Le service est excellent et nous avons été surclassé donc rien à redire de ce point de vue. Toutefois les conseils de visites sont peu adaptés. Quand on demande un taxi le prix proposé est démesuré. Par ex 500 dinar (prix parisien) alors que le prix à la station peut être négocié à 100 Dinar voir moins. Sur le plan éco-responsable, les serviettes de bain sont changées tous les jours. Il serait pertinent de ne changer que celles que l'on met dans une panière par exemple.

Beautiful riad in what was once someone’s huge house. The rooms are big and there very nice sitting/reading rooms and patios guests can enjoy. The courtyard and pool was also very nice and would be great in warmer weather! The riad is located about a 10 minute walk to the medina and across the street from the ocean. There are several beachfront restaurants across the street and other options a short walk away. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay outside the bustle of the medina, Villa Quieta is a great option

Nice

I can’t understand all the rave reviews. This place is out of town with no restaurant or bar and all the surrounding restaurants were closed too. It is cold inside in the winter. My room was large and comfortable. I was given an upgrade l think to a suite. There was only heating in the bedroom so the sitting area and bathroom were very cold. Pool area is nice enough. Breakfast was ok but not amazing like l was expecting after reading the reviews. I left some things behind in the bathroom and when l rang several hours later they couldn’t find them which l thought was poor.

Great staff, old buliding

I want to start by saying the staff who work here are lovely - super nice and helpful. Every single one! My poor review is for the facilities. Everything needs care. It seems like they haven't replaced drapes, carpet or repaired things in a long time. It does seem like that's pretty much the state of all the hotels in town. It's pretty tired.
