Terra Mia Marrakech - Riad

We based ourselves at Terra Mia for our first family trip (2 adults and 3 children, 11,10 and 8 years old) to Morocco and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, calm and extremely friendly place to stay. From the delicious breakfast served outside in the early morning sun, to the fantastic pool (ideal for cooling down after a day in the souk), to the eclectic mixture of tajines served in the Moroccan courtyard, nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff. The rooms were clean and authentic, the gardens lovely and the taxi service great for getting into Marrakech and exploring the area. We looked at other options closer to the city but opted for more tranquil accommodation away from it all - we weren't disappointed and would definitely recommend.

Terra mia sits in a wonderful desert garden 20 minutes from Marrakesh. A pool for the Riyadh, and then individual pools for the 3 surrounding villas. We stayed in a villa, great food, clean, luxurious and our own private 10m swimming pool - we had the opportunity to play family water polo! Highly recommended.

guests are looked after well by the owners.away from busy,crowded medina. its a small hotel within a farm with olive and orange trees.very tranquil,peaceful. staff are friendly but speak limited english.we lived in the villa which is very spacious and ideal for a family with small children.

We are a family of five from the UK. We stayed in a two room suite with a pool at the Riad at the end of December 2013. It was our first time in Morocco and our expectations were based on previous reviews and guide books to Marrakesch. The pool is not heated and is not really useable in the winter months – even though we had great weather (18c to 23c the week we were there). I can imagine the pool being a great feature in the warmer/ hot months – especially following a hard day in the city itself. Once you are at the Riad your options are limited as there is nothing within walking distance of interest. However the return shuttle from town usually gets back at 9pm in the evening. Omar the owner and his sons were great – organising day trips for us to Ulrika valley and Essauoira on the coast. Their advice and being available at the end of the (mobile) phone meant we were able to have an effective time all the time we were there. Would definitely recommend Terra Mia – especially for families and first time travellers to the city – you’ll need some peace and quiet after a busy day.

The place was lovely, absolutely gorgeous and sooooo peaceful. The owners and staff were great. We were picked up from the airport when we arrived and driven into the city every day and finally Omar drove us to airport when we left. All the food we had was superb I'd give it a 6 out of 5 really.

Terra Mia was a relaxing and tranquil experience. We had a large two bedroom villa for the 5 of us which included our own pool, which was unfortunately not heated so we were unable to use it. The villa was well furnished, clean and beds were very comfortable. The downside was that the tv didn't work at all and the kitchen literally just had a fridge and no other equipment or utensils. We ate dinner there two evenings, once in the dining room and once we arranged to eat in our villa, which was nice with the children. It was well cooked but pricy compared with eating in town. The staff were friendly and the service in and out if the medina was very convenient, despite the 25 minute ride.

The setting and villa were lovely. The staff were all very helpfuland tried hard to make our stay memorable A very peaceful holiday. As other reviewers have noted however the lack of tea/coffee making facilities was a pain. A hot drink was delivered with breakfast but not enough to get us through the day. We did get flask of hot water on some days as requested but it didn't always appear. The other downside was breakfast which was lacking in variety (we were there for a week) it was a continental one, bread based the usual croissant/ bread, jam with a flavoured yoghurt. It took three days to get some fruit to go with it which we found surprising as fruit was in abundance in all the markets at the time we were there. We think fruit is a daily essential though and you cannot buy your own and bring it in to the villa, but it may not be a problem for others. Another postive was the care and attention that were lavished on our children, they thoroughly enjoyed their time which meant we did too. Would definately stay again.

This is a family run hotel and all the staff were very helpful. The hotel is in its own grounds in the middle of nowhere so was very quiet which is just what we were looking for. However they provide courtesy transport to the city and the airport, which they are very flexible with. The food was lovely, but needs to be ordered in advance as it is cooked especially for you. If you are staying for more than a few days and wanted to eat there every night you might find the menu limited. For the holiday we wanted this was an excellent choice, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet authentic riad which also had a pool and gardens.

Friendly, relaxing , peacefull, beautifull, this Is a 10/10 if you want somewhere calm to relax and recharge , no loud music, no drunks, very small and personal, excellent Moroccan cuisine cooked fresh to order every night, very pleased we found it , a true taste of Morocco

Beautiful riad hotel in a secluded, peaceful location, away from the hustle of the main medina. Excellent breakfasts. A cosy log fire in the evenings. Great place if you want to take it easy. Not so convenient for going to the centre, although they did provide a very prompt and free shuttle service, available for journey in to the centre in the morning and return in the evening.
