Riad Reviews

This traditional first category riad, is located in the northern part of the medina, near the gate called Bab Taghzout and near the shrine of Sidi Bel Abbes (1 of the 7 saints of Marrakech). The large inner patio of this riad follows the traditional riad styles by having a central fountain surrounded by 4 gardens. Around this central inner patio, you will find access to the lounges, 5 bedrooms, 3 mini-suites and 2 other suites.
The house is decorated in an authentic way with doors and furniture of carved cedar wood or painted by artisans, stucco ceilings, and white and blue zellij (traditional tile) without forgetting modern comforts. Each room has a private bathroom, satellite TV, air conditioning, mini bar, safe, and telephone. WiFi access is free of charge.

The 4 spacious terraces offer a splendid view over the medina, the shrine of Sidi Bel-Abbes and the High Atlas. Add to that the pleasure of the marble-domed hammam, the heated swimming pool (5m x 3m), and the workout corner. The riad offers both Moroccan and international cuisine on request. The owners live in the riad and are always available to their customers. There is easy access: parking and taxis are within 20 meters from the house.

We also speak Dutch. 

This house was purchased in 2000 and converted into a guest house after 2 years of restoration work. The origin of the riad is located in the 17th century. The owners are a Moroccan-Belgian couple, Saâd is a hotel professional and Sibylle Sofia is orientalist who has lived in Marrakech since 1992. They have been pleased to participate in a number of Belgian television documentaries about the Moroccan riad and this riad has formed the backdrop for a number of short films and fashion photography shoots and has been featured in travel and cooking magazine articles and in various newspapers including "20 Best Places to Stay in Marrakech" (The Guardian / The Observer (October 2006).
