“My Magical Marrakech”
Well I wasnt planning on writing a review of Dar Habiba since we just bought it! However, I will put modesty to one side and say it is really lovely and I would definitely recommend it. It is sooooo convenient and soooo quiet and sooo relaxing. I am really happy to be there. Just a 1 minute stroll and you are right there in the souks; 5 minutes of strolling through the souks and you are at the big central square; 3 minutes and you are at the taxi rank; 5 minutes and you are at cozy bar which has great atmosphere and you can see the storks nesting!! I love it! But I am biased-so you had better look for unbiased views on another site or come and see for yourself!

Waking at 8am to the sounds of cockerels and bells, we had breakfast on the roof terrace. Blue sky- hot day. Our breakfast included moroccan flat pancakes, honey, pain au chocolate orange juice, french set yogurt and hot chocolate- yum & only 40 MAD!
We quickly enjoyed our breakfast before the wasps dived into the honey.
