Indoors and outdoors
The elegant, refined decor makes it a place of peace, and leaves you reeling from the contrasts between the hustle and bustle of life in the medina and the absolute serenity of the riad. The design of the spaces, the choice of materials and colours invite you to experience the authentic.
The 17th-century riad boasts a number of beautiful living rooms, including our large lounge with its magnificent ceiling decorated with zouaqs (paintings) and its mezzanine library. You will also appreciate the lounge area in the gallery on the main patio, and the roof top with its stunning view of the Atlas and the medina.
Meals in the large patio in front of the fireplace, the dining room in the small patio or the Salon des Miroirs where dinners take on a different flavour...
A massage area in the riad invites you to relax body and mind and make your stay a truly relaxing experience.

Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits dans ce riad dans la médina de Marrakech au mois d'août. Nous avons eu, en plus, le luxe d'être les seuls clients à cette période.
Ce riad est juste magique tant par son architecture, que par sa décoration mais aussi sa conception. Il a l'avantage d'avoir une piscine qui, contrairement à beaucoup d'autres riads, se trouve dans un patio excentré. Vous pouvez donc vous rendre à la piscine sans avoir peur de déranger les autres.
Tout était parfait : superficie des chambres, propreté, qualité des repas sur place.
De plus le riad est ombragé et donc les chambres sont fraîches ; nous n'avons même pas utilisé la clim alors que nous étions en plein mois d'août.
Merci encore à Isabelle et Pascal pour leur accueil aux petits soins.
Et nous recommandons chaleureusement ce riad ; vous ne serez pas décus.
