“Very NICE”
Simple morning breakfast was great. Could be a bit more portions for big eater. The view on the roof top was great unfortunately we did not have free time to use it. The place is so beautiful, the bathroom, the hall, the room is decorated with tiles/mosaics. The various sitting places/lounges are so lovely decorated. A must stay if you are at Safi.

Beautiful riad iside the medina. Nice breakfast, yoghurt or fruits would have been a plus. Really quiet during the night, parking on the other side of the medina costs 20 dirham per night.

Beautiful, well-kept, clean riad. A peaceful place. Safi is a city in great difficulty after the floods of December 2025, and deserves all the support it can get. This is a wonderful place. Large, clean rooms. Excellent breakfast with sea view.

“Great place!”
A magnificent riad in the very centre of the medina. Very large, cosily furnished rooms, very comfortable beds, peace and quiet. Comfortable sofas for relaxing, a kettle, coffee and tea on every floor. Beautiful decor throughout the riad and a wonderful roof terrace with views of the entire city and harbour. Very tasty and generous breakfast. Extremely polite and friendly owner who provides very helpful tips.

“A wonderful historic riad in a lovely ancient medina.”
This is a very beautiful, quiet, clean, and historic riad, that I adored. It is tastefully furnished in a traditional manner, and is full of character. It has an uninspiring entrance in a dark alleyway but the door leads to a truly beautiful and relaxing interior set around a small enclosed courtyard with exposed stone pillars and doorways, and colourful timber railings. It is said to be 300 years old but it seemed even more ancient to me (I am an archaeologist and architectural historian). I did not get th3 chance to have breakfast or eat here as I had to leave early after an impromptu decision to overnight in Safi, but i would imagine that the food would be excellent inkeeping with the rest of this wonderful place.
