An old dar (traditional Moroccan house), next to the city walls, has been finely restored in contemporary style by Italian architect Edoardo Miotti.
There is a maze of staricases and opening to give a private intimate feel
The use of pale colours and traditional Moroccan materials like tadelakt and thuja, create a warm, restful atmosphere.
By day you can enjoy the sun on the large terrace and by night you can relax in front of the fire in the living room on the ground floor or in the privacy of your room.
There are five rooms, each furnished with its own personality, located on the first and second floor of the house. Rooms are heated, have all comforts and have a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub.
Dar les Sirenes is located close to the Bab Doukkala (main gate) and all the traditional souks. It is around 5 minute's walk to the main square and the ramparts and then another few minutes to beach.
