Sweet family-run guesthouse in the blue medina — simple rooms, warm hosts, rooftop breakfast.

Casa Perleta is the Chefchaouen most travellers are hoping for: a whitewashed-and-blue house in the old town, run by a family who treat guests like returning cousins. Rooms are simple, spotless and full of local wool blankets and ironwork.

Breakfast on the roof — msemen, honey, mountain light — is the daily event, and the medina's blue lanes start at the front door. It is modest by design and priced accordingly; what you're buying is warmth, and it delivers.

Why we picked it

• Family-run warmth in a restored blue-medina house
• Rooftop breakfast with mountain and medina views
• Honest prices a short walk from Plaza Uta el-Hammam
