Villa Aaron review: our verdict
On books for dinner, we leave well after midnight: Villa Aaron has the knack of keeping its tables. The riad dates from 1936 and has been restored with zelliges, a patio, garden and pool; its rooftop terrace overlooks the medina, a four-minute walk from the Saadian Tombs. In the kitchen, Morocco and the Mediterranean share a menu made for sharing, served from noon until 2 a.m.
At night, the lights dim and musicians play during the meal, quietly enough for conversation to continue. The bar is worth a stop before or after dinner, with characterful cocktails, and the team makes you feel at ease without ever weighing in. For a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or visiting parents you want to spoil; a few rooms even allow you to sleep there. To avoid for a rushed lunch between visits: the place demands that you leave it time. The good tip: the villa remains accessible by car, something rare in the medina.
The trap: counting on the musicians without asking, they don't play every evening; ask when booking. The good plan: the villa remains accessible by car, something rare in the medina.
