Tripadvisor· a year agoThe guest house has a snack bar/deli and a café/bistro, plus a bar, so you can grab light bites and drinks on site. For local meals, Chefchaouen's medina, about a 20-minute walk away, is full of eateries serving tagines, couscous, and street food like msemen and baghrir. You can also use the kitchenette in your room to prepare simple meals. The nearby Plaza Uta el Hamman, a 20-minute walk, has restaurants and cafés around the square. For a fuller meal, explore the streets around the medina's main square, where you'll find many options.
Villa Rita Guest House sits in the Ain Haouzi quarter, about a 20-minute walk from the heart of Chefchaouen's blue-washed medina. The immediate area is a peaceful residential district with a business feel, offering a quiet retreat from the old town's lanes. You are within a short stroll of the Khandak Semmar Park, and the main sights like Place El Haouta and Plaza Uta el Hamman are roughly a 20-minute walk away. The guest house itself has a garden, terrace, and seasonal pool, so the surroundings feel calm and green. From here, the medina's cafes and shops are an easy walk, and the wider Rif region is reachable for day trips.
From Tetouan's Sania Ramel Airport (TTU), about 66 km away, take a taxi or pre-book the hotel's airport shuttle. From the main bus or shared taxi station at the base of Chefchaouen, a taxi ride of a couple of minutes brings you to the guest house, or you can walk uphill. The hotel is near the train station, within walking distance of the medina. If arriving by car, free self parking is available onsite.
In the evening, you can walk about 20 minutes to Plaza Uta el Hamman, the lively main square, where you can enjoy the atmosphere and nearby cafes. The Chefchaouen Medina, a 21-minute walk away, is also nice to explore as the day winds down. Back at the guest house, there is a bar and a snack bar/deli for a relaxed drink or light bite. You could also arrange an evening excursion, such as the Agafay Desert quad, camel, and dinner show, through local tour providers.
Villa Rita Guest House is a good base for exploring Chefchaouen. The main sights are within a 20-minute walk: Place El Haouta is 19 minutes away, Plaza Uta el Hamman 20 minutes, and the Chefchaouen Medina 21 minutes. For the Akchour Waterfalls, which are 11.4 km away, you will need a car or a tour, as they are not within walking distance. The guest house is about 1 km from the city center, making it easy to reach the medina on foot. Its peaceful location and views of the valley add to the experience.
