La Maison Bleue

La Maison Bleue Review

Originally the private residence of Sidi Mohammed el Abaddi, a famous judge and astrologer, this 19th-century family home has been handsomely renovated and expanded, although the years of wear and tear are beginning to show. High ceilings and intricately carved stucco and cedar walls surround central patios and fountains with Andalusian-style guest rooms. Age seems to be taking its toll, as some of the furnishings seem worn and the service is inconsistent. For the prices on the menu, you'd expect better than average food in the restaurant, although there is an authentic chwa'k dar, a beef tagine. Work off your dinner in a well-equipped gym near the private spa/hammam. Breakfast is served on an open terrace with attentive morning staff.
