Nestled on a quiet side street in walking distance to a number of restaurants. The staff were all very friendly and the hotel itself was clean with a great deal of charm and coziness. Breakfast was served each morning. Not the chain hotel experience at all.The only two things I would point out are, 1) be sure to get the map from the hotel before you go as it's extremely difficult to find otherwise (yes, it's on a street in town with homes, but took our cab driver quite a while to find the address as we didn't have the map), and, 2) while this goes for Morocco in general, it is very helpful to speak either French or Arabic when visiting as the owner and most of the staff do not speak much or any English.In summary: A very good choice for people who want a place with some personality.

I stayed here with my extended family for one week over New Years. We had come across it on airbnb and booked the entire riad for our group of 13 adults. We had a prearranged taxi pick us up from the airport, and had a lovely Moroccan meal in the house that evening. We hadn't prearranged the meal, but they were excellent is putting something together for us. The riad is on the outskirts of Marrakesh in a nice quite area, yet the main medina is only 10mins away by taxi. The riad itself is beautiful, with a lovely pool & roof top, which was perfect for a glass of wine watching the sun go down. All rooms have en-suites. The main suite in particular was amazing, and the ornate ceiling above the bed was fabulous. Breakfast each morning was nice, freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries, bread & eggs. The staff were so friendly and no request was too big or small for Victor & his team. They organised day trips, taxis into the medina, facials & massages in the comfort of our rooms, and got a guitar for us one evening as we had wanted a bit of a sing song. On New Years Eve we had asked for a group meal in the villa. We had the BBQ which was delicious, lots of lovely salads and an array of meats cooked in the courtyard, all very tasty. That evening they even surprised us with a traditionalMoroccan band who entertained us for the evening. We had a great night laughing & dancing & it was one to remember.Weather wise, we had been told it was one of the coldest winters in years, but we found it lovely, 20ish degrees during the day and then quite cold at night.Overall Victor and his team went above & beyond to make sure our stay was perfect and I would thoroughly recommend Riad 'La Villa Bleue' to anyone.

Although hard to find La Villa Bleue was an island of peace in hectic Marrakech. The stall was excellent. Abiba, the person who cleaned and cooked for us, was amazingly friendlyand sweet. She took my wife to the local hamman in the souk and picked her up an hour and a half later and rode her back to the villa on the back of her moped. Ahmed (I think that was his name) served the meals and catered to other needs. The owner, Patrick, was not there during our stay but he had his friends run the place.I highly recommend staying here.

A group of 15 of us extended family stayed here for the week and really enjoyed it . Victor, Siham and Mohammed were so nice to us and we can’t praise their hospitality enough. Every question about the holiday was answered online very quickly prior to arrival. Also at the villa they were very accommodating to all our needs, they arranged the taxis and excursions. The breakfast was great and the lovely fresh orange juice is something we won’t forget. The villa is much bigger than what we expected from the pictures and the pool was really big compared to other riads we looked at prior to booking. Only thing I would say is that it was really deep so definitely need arm bands for children and we bought some pool rings as well. In terms of the privacy we were worried at first having other people at the villa; we’ve been on other villa holidays where theres not been any managers around and we just collected the keys but having victor, siham and mohammed there was no problem at all, they went about they’re own jobs, didn’t even look twice if we were laughing about something and it was such a help having them there. The location wasn’t bad as it was a quite neighbourhood so not too busy but at the same time wasn’t a very close walking distance to many of the main sites. However it didn’t really matter to us because it was about 10 mins taxi ride to Gueliz centre and maybe about 20 mins to the markets and taxis are cheap. It was close to local shops and food places so convenient in that sense. I would definitely recommend venturing out of marrakesh as well, we travelled to Casablanca for a day trip to visit the mosque and the beach and then to ouzoud falls another day. Honestly such amazing sights to visit and the journey was so easy; we got a mini bus and had a great time together. Overall very pleased with our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a group holiday in marrakesh.

I joined trip advisor purely to give this villa a good review. The villa is absolutely stunning with a gorgeous pool and amazing sun room at the top as well as plenty of ensuites to pick from. The staff are so friendly and anything we asked for they were more then happy to help. They arranged taxis, camal rides, quad bikes and day trips that we could pay for at the end which was so convenient. I could not recommend this place enough it was an absolute pleasure to stay here.
