Dar Kandi
A 1915 Bab Doukkala house restored in 2018 by its Italian owners, serving an Italian-Moroccan menu with gluten-free and vegan options.
Dar Kandi occupies the Bab Doukkala quarter, a residential pocket of the medina about a 7-minute walk from Le Jardin Secret. The building dates to 1915 and went through a full renovation completed in 2018 by its Italian owners, who kept the property to just six rooms so each could be treated as a distinct, individually decorated space. On site there's a pool with a view, a sun terrace, a garden, and a spa offering hammam, massage and beauty treatments — plus a restaurant that's unusual for the medina in serving Italian menus alongside Moroccan dishes.
Reviews are strong and well-corroborated: Booking.com scores it 9.6 out of 10 from 404 verified reviews, and it's also listed in the Michelin Guide, though Michelin notes it doesn't yet have enough verified stays to carry a quality score. Nightly rates run from roughly $185 to $248, putting it in upscale territory for a 6-room property. With only six rooms, availability rather than any service complaint is the main constraint reviewers mention.
