Mimi Calpe

It was a beautiful and idillic colonial residence. The reception by the host was great. Breakfast and dinner was very good. Staff was very helpful and took good care of us. A driver service was very flexible and took us where we wanted to go last minute. A wonderful oasis in a hectic city.

I rarely go back to the same hotel/lodging, but after a first visit in 2018, I couldn’t stop dreaming of my time at the Mimi Calpe. What’s not to love? The converted villa has beautiful classic rooms, the decor is a mix of early 19th century architecture and design with modern art. It’s clean, it’s quiet in an otherwise noisy city. The pool with its views over the harbor, and the gardens throughout the villa are stunning. There’s even a private hammam (thank you Zorah for the great treatment!). But the absolute best part of our stay (I went with two girl friends) was the staff. Karim is an amazing host and chef, and Youseff (and all the youseffs!) feel like friends now. Very kind, attentive, professional and genuine. Three days wasn’t enough.

I enjoyed a very relaxing 1 week break at Mimi Calpe at the end of May 2025, as a solo female traveller. I had a separate cottage room with shower room, with very comfortable bed. There no place to hang or put away clothes except for 2 hooks, so you'll be living out of your suitcase. A bit of a smell from the pipes, but probably little they can do about it. Otherwise, a very charming 19th century property with beautiful gardens, lots of nooks where you can read and write and a lovely pool. Great breakfasts. Would recommend eating out at night. Location is fantastic -- just a 5 minute walk from Place Avril 9 and an easy 15 minute walk to great sites, the medina and restaurants. Definitely recommend. Excellent place for solo female travellers. Felt very safe and comfortable and well taken care of by Youssef and Kareem.

The historic villa accommodation is magical, just what you imagine from your reading in Tangier. The atmosphere of the beautiful interiors and garden, decorated with original furniture and artworks, is made unforgettable by the always helpful, cheerful and friendly staff. The location is perfect, calm and close to everything. The rooms are quiets and beautifully decorated. The service, the cleanliness and the amenities are perfects.

This property is extremely beautiful, an 1800s home converted into a hotel. The suite we stayed in was a 2 bedroom. It was comfortable with the exception that I would have liked a small sitting area. There is a tiny deck, however, as well as a patio with seating. The gardens were gorgeous, I wish I could have seen it in the late spring when the wisteria would be in bloom! The breakfasts were delicious. Youssef and the rest of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, nothing was too much to ask. Be aware that there are many steps around the property, it might not be right for infirm visitors.

From the staff to the location to the rooms and everything you can imagine it is just amazing If you plan a trip to Tanger and want to be close to the old city then this is the place for you. We had one dinner and it was so delicious, the breakfast was awesome. Warm and kind people there.
