Beautiful, clean and spacious Riad located just off a main route
into the Medina. Safe neighborhood. Extremely quiet and secure inside
the Riad. Our driver, Mohamed, was gracious, kind and very attentive
(also, of course, a great driver). He will take you to all city sites and
on excursions to the Atlas Mountains for a very fair price. He is
not a guide, but he is knowledgeable. Saida is the Riad
cook and cleaner who comes in the morning to prepare
a full breakfast: eggs, fresh squeezed OJ, various breads,
yogurt and quality coffee. She clears and cleans
up, makes the beds, and then leaves until
the next day. She is adorable and very sweet.
The photos don't convey the spaciousness of
the three levels. Ground floor has a double bedroom and full
bathroom with air conditioning, kitchen, comfortable sitting
room and cooling pool for soaking tired feet after a full
day of exploring. The second level has two master suites,
one is slightly larger than the other but both are spacious and
both have full baths (sink area, shower and toilet). Both
bedrooms also have their own high quality LG air conditioning
units that work well.
The second level has a large corner table and sitting area where we spent
most of our time talking, reading and of course checking
our e-mail (sadly). The internet is very good.
Like all Riads, the "roof" is open and allows in plenty
of light and air, so you don't feel at all shut-in
or claustrophobic.
The third level is the terrace and most impressive.
Again, like the other levels, the spaciousness is
notable. We have stayed in other Riads that purport
to have nice terraces, but are cramped and
uncomfortable. This terrace has two distinct
areas, both covered. One is a large sitting
area which can accommodate probably
8 people and the other area is dining
table with the same space. Between the
two areas and the connecting open
terrace, the rooftop could easily host
a small cocktail party of 30 people,
but of course that would be against house
rules. :) Highly recommend.
