About this property

Renovated traditional house, comfort, south-facing terraces, views, sun, calm

Old house located in the Kasbah, one of the oldest parts of Tangier, and completely renovated and decorated by an interior designer with traditional materials and great comfort. Several terraces facing south, with beautiful open views of the city, the large Mandoubia park and the bay of Tangier. A few steps from museums, the souk, markets and shops, and the large bay beach. Quiet area, housekeeping staff and, if you wish, meal preparation (modest supplement), central heating in winter. Three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (shower) and twin beds convertible into double beds. The house is close to a secure paying car park.
Tangier is an exceptional city at the junction of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar. It faces Spain whose coast is only 14 km away and whose lights are visible at night on a clear day.
The sea is omnipresent and brings a beneficial breeze in summer.
Tangier has kept its charm of yesteryear and to come here is to immerse yourself in another world, a world of beauty, kindness and surprises on every street corner.
You have to experience the Souk, which is full of wonders and where it is almost compulsory to barter. Do not miss the magnificent Kasbah museums, the American Legation, its small garden in the souk and its wonderful paintings, the Hafa café with its breathtaking view of the sea and Spain. You have to taste the Moroccan cuisine with its abundance of spices, its fresh fish that you eat with your fingers in the restaurants outside the fishing port. And of course, in summer, the beaches of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic offer their unique sand and waves.

Amazing stay in a traditional riad on the edge of the Kasbah
Dar Detroit was an amazing stay right in the kasbah of Tangier. The place was clean, the host was exceptional at communicating and adjusting when we had travel delays. There were things that people should be aware of when booking this property, they are by no means negatives, just things to keep in mind if you want to stay here. There are stairs! Not only in the kasbah but in the home. You are in the heart of the kasbah and it can be noisy all night, and there are prayers at 5 specific times throughout the day that play on loudspeakers! The top room was probably the noisiest but had lovely views. The other two rooms were a little quieter. The home is beautifully decorated with lots of touches from Morocco. This is a home to rent for an immersive cultural experience as you weave your way through the narrow walkways of the kasbah each day to the markets and restaurants. There were things that weren’t what we would find in a typical hotel room and we would not change it for anything! We all truly enjoyed this experience and it was one of the best in our trip.

Beautiful Views
We enjoyed the property and it's many patios. The view of Tangier was beautiful. The house is well decorated and clean. The bathrooms are nice. Bedrooms are a good size. Amal the housekeeper is very nice and happy to meet your needs. She is not obtrusive to your time there. We used Karim and Adbul for sight seeing and logistics. We hope to return one day.

We'd been before and couldn't wait to come back
Joelle's house is the perfect introduction to Morocco, clean, comfortable, quiet, and full of charming local colour. We'd been before and were literally able to walk straight off the boat and up the hill to the kasbah to find the house again (almost) immediately. After a couple of nights there we were ready to go and explore the rest of the country. We hope to be back again. Plym and Tony

Maison agréable mais service déplorable.
La maison est très jolie et bien située. Un seul inconvénient pour les personnes âgées : beaucoup d'escaliers. Un peu d'humidité dans les chambres au Rdc car peu d'aération. L'accueil a été très moyen car aucune collation n'était prévue à notre arrivée (même pas un thé à la menthe), selon la coutume marocaine (dans toutes nos autres locations à travers le Maroc, ça a été un incontournable). Ceci dit le séjour aurait quand même été agréable si le personnel (1 personne qui s''occupe du ménage et éventuellement des repas) n'avait fait preuve d'un manque de professionnalisme flagrant : communication minimum avec les occupants, ménage déplorable, et comportement étonnant (lors d'une sortie, nous avons reconnu nos sacs poubelle qui étaient posés en plein milieu d'une ruelle. (Peut'ètre y a -t- il un process de ramassage des déchets qui nous est inconnu ?) La propriétaire a fait plusieurs erreurs dans les informations qu'elle nous a transmis (prix des repas, préparation des chambres, ...) . Pour couronner le tout, elle a failli nous faire payer le remplacement des bonbonnes d'eau chaude (aucunement indiqué dans les conditions de réservation). Devant notre refus, elle a répondu avoir fait erreur car ces frais s'appliquent seulement en hiver. Je ne sais pas depuis sizbd elle loue sa maison mais c'est étrange qu'elle ne soit pas au fait de ses propres conditions ! Autre point ; linge de lit et de toilette tâchés et rêches. Indigne et irrespectueux des occupants. Un conseil si vous louez la maison, évitez de faire appel aux services du personnel à disposition. Nous avons essayé une fois et avons été très déçus, surtout au vu du budget que nous avions alloué pour cette demande. Ces désagréments et ce manque de professionnalisme ne nous ont pas empêché de passer un bon séjour dans la belle ville de Tanger et aux alentours. La maison est bien située et très agréable. C'est dommage que le service ne suive pas. J'espère que ces remarques permettront une nette amélioration à l'avenir. C'est la première fois que nous sommes déçus par une location au Maroc.

Cultural Experience
What a fantastic stay in Tangier. Joelle's home was very spacious and the shower accommodations were exceptionally good. Views of the city were beautiful from the Terrence. When we experienced trouble lighting the stove, and found it was out of gas, she was very quick and helpful in getting it fixed.

Living like a local in Tangier
To live in a privat house in the Kasbah of Tangier was an exciting experience. The house is very spacious, good equipped, nicely decorated and very clean. There is a lot of privacy also for six people (we are only two). Our favourite place was the terrace overlooking Tangier. We had good luck with the weather and could use it daily. The housekeeper Amal was very friendly and made us our breakfast. She asked for our needs and was helpful by calling a taxi back to the Airport. The contact with Joelle was also enjoyable and the booking was easy. She gave us a lot of helpful tips to plan our journey. Thank you again. We rented a car for four days. A safe parking place (for a fee) is around the corner. You can see it right hand looking from the terrace. We felt save at any time. The neighbourhood is very friendly. We highly recommend this house.

Très bel appartement, beaucoup de charme
Très joli appartement, spacieux bien placé et d'une propreté parfaite. Superbe décoration marocaine et toit terrasse à savourer sans modération. Merci à la gardienne, très accueillante qui nous a préparé de délicieux petits déjeuners. La communication avec la propriétaire est excellente. Petit point de vigilance pour les personnes ayant du mal à se déplacer, il y a beaucoup d'escaliers. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Experience the heart of the Kasbah
The house was an integral part of the experience of being in the Kasbah in Tangier. We arrived by boat and took a taxi to the El Morocco. It was 10 euro, probably too much. Call Amal to meet you. Otherwise you will not find the house. As advertised, it is multiple levels plus the roof top balcony. It is a mental challenge to remember where one has left things. The apartment, including the kitchen, is well equipped. We ate about half our meals in and the other half out. We were probably not fully prepared for as cold as it was, but that is Tangier in October. You will get many offers to show you the market, etc., but the location of the house makes guides unnecessary. Just go to the Kasbah Rose (which you will see on the way to the house), jog left, and go down the stairs. At the bottom, go left on Rue Kasbah in front of the bakery. It is a steep hill, but doable. At the bottom, the park is on the right, and the streets on the left lead into the market (sook). Across from the park on your left, is the Bab Al Madina, a sort of Moroccan fast food place. It is eat in or take out (we did both). The food is excellent and cheap. They also have an outstanding bakery. Watch which way you are going in the sook so you can find your way out. We had no problems. Different streets tend to specialize in different things, such as clothes, food, etc. We found little inclination to bargain on the part of the merchants, but it does not hurt to try. Socialize and be friendly. For day trips (and other taxi rides), Amal has a taxi driver friend Ali who is wonderful. He speaks excellent English, is friendly, and is quite knowledgeable about the history of the area. We hired him for a day to go to Asilah and thoroughly enjoyed him and the trip. For provisions, there are no supermarkets, but there are numerous small shops scattered throughout the neighborhood. They tend to specialize in only a few items, so you may need to look around. You can find about everything in the sook, but you have to then carry things up the hill (or get a taxi). We also ate at the El Morocco (get reservations) and the Cafe Bleu. Both were good. In terms of money, the small merchants want cash. The restaurants were about 50-50 for taking credit cards or requiring cash. Some will take euros. There are several banks along the Rue Kasbah with ATMs, so getting cash is not a problem. Great place. Have fun!

We absolutely loved the house
We were only in Tangiers for two days - wish we could have stayed longer. The house is in a perfect place for exploring the kasbah and the medina and is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. We had a wonderful meal provided one night and were able to eat breakfast on the terrace in the sun.

Maison très agréable, en haut de la Kasbah; belles terrasses, chambres confortables et bien entretenues. Très calme. Parking sécurisé à proximité. Un seul regret : l'équipement de la cuisine est vraiment insuffisant pour une famille qui souhaite prendre des repas sur place (pas de four, micro-ondes etc.).

VIVRE A LA TANGEROISE
Après plusieurs séjours dans la maison très agréable et bien décorée, j'y reviens avec plaisir. Ce qui me plaît : être intégrée dans la kasbah, faire mes courses dans les petits magasins environnants, avoir des voisins comme amis et, du haut de la terrasse, contempler la vie de la rue à chaque heure de la journée.

Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur pour cette authentique maison marocaine rénovée avec beaucoup de goût. Aménagée sur 3 niveaux, les terrasses des étages supérieurs permettent de surplomber une partie de la ville et de s'en imprégner.Calme absolu.A la limite de la casbah et proche de la médina,on peut profiter des petits commerces environnants pour partager un peu du quotidien des tangérois. Parking peu cher et bien gardé en bas de la maison pour ceux qui louent une voiture. A pied, on peut visiter le musée de la casbah , se promner dans la casbah et la médina, longer les remparts qui donnent sur la mer et les côtes espagnoles.De bons restaurants et cafés à proximité.

belle location dans la Kasbah.
Avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette charmante maison.La vue depuis la terrasse est magnifique et la lumière particulière à toute heure de la journée. La maison est cependant sur 3 étages et les locataires doivent être en forme pour monter et descendre. A noter également que les rues environnantes sont également escarpées et donc déconseillées aux personnes à mobilité réduite ou avec enfants en bas âge. Nous avons été bien accueillis et renseignés avant notre séjour. Pour ceux qui veulent venir en voiture, il y a un parking gardé à deux pas de la maison, très pratique et peu cher. Le quartier et très vivant et tout à fait approprié aux touristes souhaitant faire leur marché et partager un peu la vie de quartier.
