My sister & I stayed at the Villa El Arsa in May 2012 and had a fantastic time. Noel (one of the owners) met us at the airport and took us to this stunning Riad in the Medina in Marrakech. Behind the heavy wooden door lay a quiet haven. It has a gorgeous central courtyard with retractable roof, where we... More

If unsure and undecided about which Riad, Villa to stay at then, look no more! you will definitely not be disappionted with a stay at the Villa El Arsa. The location is just perfect! 5 min from the main Medina where all the hustle and excitement is, but situated in streets (derbs) where you can obtain calm and rest! The... More

What a great introduction to Marrakesh. Noel, Fabrice and Simo were very welcoming and we were very well looked after. We especially valued all the tips and advice about local attractions and insights into living in Marrakesh. The Riad is well located for everything in the Medina and is only a short walk from the Jmaa el Fnaa, but is... More

We had a family party of eight of us and so we took over the whole Riad. It is the most beautiful building, with well preserved architectural features but that is only the back drop to the most warm welcome. Noel, Fabrice and Simo run the most hospitable Riad with refreshments as you need, a homely atmosphere and accurate and... More

Tucked away down a Derb (blind ally)Villa El Arsa offers a very warm welcome. The rooms are wel equips and very comfortable. We were made to feel very much at home. The saloon is well equiped with books and games and an open fire for additional warmth (the evenings were quite chilly during our short stay). There is a great... More

A friendly and welcoming Riad in the centre of Marrakesh's medina. The team under Susie is welcoming, efficient and helpful (especially Brahim!) Always clean and pretty. We had a brilliant meal on our first night and on our return to Marrakesh it really felt like a home away from home. More

We were happy to return to riad villa el Arsa for all sorts of reasons:its authentic charm, friendly faces, delicious breakfast on the roof, and the feeling of home away from home. The wood fire in the salon on a chilly February evening was a delight. Sunday lunch with chicken tagine and delicious home made pastries made our trip. We'll... More

On arrival it seemed a bit of a walk from the main square, but we were soon used to it and the advantage was the quiet location. The owner and staff were kind, courteous and helpful. The food was excellent and we are foodies ! The Riad was lovely with great bathrooms. We came back from staying out of Marrakesh... More

Close to the main square, about 7 minutes walk down small streets and lanes. Guesthouse is on 3 levels - (1) courtyard, kitchen and sitting areas and pool, (2) 4 double rooms, (3) roof terrace. Courtyard is peaceful, nice plants and a small plunge pool which we enjoyed although it felt a bit strange to be in bikinis so close... More
