Casa Hassan

Casa Hassan is a mid-range bed and breakfast at 22 Rue Targui in the medina of Chefchaouen, in Morocco's Rif Mountains. Rue Targui lies within the old town's network of blue-washed lanes, so the property is reached on foot from the medina gates, and Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the kasbah and the main craft shops are within a short walk. Chefchaouen has no airport or railway, so visitors arrive by road from Tangier, Tetouan or Fes and enter the old town on foot or with an escort from the gate. The town was founded in 1471 as a kasbah and later settled by Andalusian refugees, and the surrounding lanes retain that character with arched doorways, tiled roofs and painted stairways. Guests rate the property 8.6 out of 10 across 88 reviews on ma-hotels.net (2026), a smaller review base than some neighbours, with nightly rates from about 760 MAD (roughly US$82), varying by season and room type. The listing mentions a restaurant named Tissemlal as an amenity, which suggests meals can be taken on the premises rather than only at breakfast; visitors should confirm the menu, opening times and whether dinner needs advance notice. Rooms in a medina bed and breakfast of this size are generally a small number of doubles and twins with private bathrooms, decorated in a Moroccan style, and details such as heating, air conditioning and terrace access should be checked when booking. Breakfast normally includes Moroccan bread, olives, jam, eggs and mint tea. A Moroccan restaurant menu typically features tagine, couscous, harira soup and grilled meats, and vegetarian dishes are usually available on request. Service in this format is personal, with the owner or staff offering advice on hikes to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint, Akchour waterfalls and the Talassemtane National Park, as well as help with taxis and guides. It suits independent travellers and couples who want a central, atmospheric base at a moderate price. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather.
