Casa Sabila

Casa Sabila is a mid-range guest house in the Old Town (medina) of Chefchaouen, in Morocco's Rif Mountains. The listing gives the address only as the medina, with the exact street shown on the booking confirmation, so arrivals are usually guided from a medina gate along narrow, stepped lanes. Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a fortress and later received Andalusian settlers, and its blue-washed walls, arched doorways and tiled roofs define the old town. From a central medina address, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the kasbah and the weaving and craft shops are within a short walk, and the Ras El Maa spring and stream are reachable on foot at the east end of town. The town has no airport or railway, so visitors arrive by road from Tangier, Tetouan or Fes. Guests rate the guest house 9.2 out of 10 across 848 reviews on ma-hotels.net (2026), a notably large review base for a small property, with nightly rates from about 850 MAD (roughly US$91), varying by season and room type. Rooms in a medina guest house like this are typically doubles and twins with private bathrooms and traditional Moroccan decoration of tile, painted wood and textiles; visitors should confirm heating, air conditioning and terrace access when booking. Breakfast normally features Moroccan bread, olives, jam, eggs and mint tea, often served on a terrace or in a courtyard, while the medina's restaurants provide tagine, couscous, harira and grilled meats for lunch and dinner. Service at small guest houses is generally personal, with hosts arranging pickups, luggage assistance, guides and advice on hikes to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint, Akchour waterfalls and the Talassemtane National Park. The property suits couples, solo travellers and photographers who want to be inside the old town and value strong guest reviews. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons, while winter evenings are cold and damp and warrant checking heating.
