An oasis near the sea

After a morning exploring the Medina it was a joy to return back to the villa, which is perfect in every way. Great design, very comfortable and has the wonderful Bouchra to look after you if needed. We ordered a meal and breakfast for the arrival day and next morning - which lasted us several days!

My family and I had a fantastic holiday at Dar Do

After a few days in the sweltering heat of Marrakech, Dar Do provided a very welcome escape. We all loved the house, it was very spacious and had plenty of space for our party of 6. Everything we needed for our 10-day stay was provided and Said was on hand to help with any requests we had. The swimming pool was fantastic! I would thoroughly recommend it.
