“Homely riad in the medina.”
Breakfast was fine; lovely homely vibe, friendly helpful staff. Room was fairly basic but clean and comfortable. Good location only a couple of minutes’ walk from the middle of the medina, yet very quiet and peaceful.

Our stay at this beautiful dar, located in the heart of the Medina, was truly enjoyable. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The property was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated with great attention to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend this dar to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
