The Most Amazing Riad
I chose this place after a great amount of research and it didn’t disappoint. its a short walk through the gate into the historic medina. This is a riad with a large atrium and a separate external garden with small pool which is unusual for the dense urban location. It only has 8 rooms on two floors but they are very high and the light filled atrium is large and immaculately ornate giving the whole place a palatial feel. It was lovingly restored from a family house in recent years to what it is now. The artistry and craftsmanship is amazing and there is a photo book in the lobby showing the restoration process. There is a roof terrace with amazing views high over the historic medina and hills beyond. The meals are in the garden during the nicer times of the year. There is a chef the comes to cook dinners to order that guests can arrange earlier in the day. That means the ingredients are fresh and cuisine is amazing served in a beautiful atmosphere. The breakfasts are awesome as well. You can have drinks and snacks served anytime in the garden, lounge or terrace. Although I didn’t use it, there is a spa where hammams can be arranged. There were people staying there as well as from surrounding locations that partook and everyone said it was great. The staff is great, constantly running around making sure you feel at home.
