We have just returned from a fantastic trip to Fez, Morocco where we stayed at the wonderful Riad Numero 9 owned by Stephen and Bruno. After being picked up by one of Stephen's team at the airport, we were taken straight to the Riad. When we arrived, we were completely blown away by Stephen and Bruno's exquisite taste and attention... More

Lovingly resorted by owner Stephen Direnza and his partner Bruno, Riad 9 is a magical place. With only three rooms around a courtyard, it is easy to feel as if you have a house in Fes, but with a wonderful staff, including a cook who can prepare excellent dinners in the courtyard. Perhaps not for everyone because of narrow steep... More

This was a great place to stay in the centre of Fes. Very calm, great food, and very helpful and friendly staff. This riad went that little bit further to make our stay pleasant, complementary drinks etc and free pick-up, which makes you feel as though you are more than just a guest. Hiighly recommended. Not a single flaw. More

One piece of advice for traveling in Morocco: Stay at Riad Numero 9! The building itself is breathtaking and the staff is absolutely lovely. The owners, Stephen and Bruno, have mastered the art of hospitality. Stephen, who was beyond accommodating while organizing our travel arrangements, was also great about recommending plenty of authentic restaurants, sights, and day-trips. Bruno cooked us... More

Six of us had been planning a week-long trip to Fez for five months and were 10 days from leaving the U.S. for Morocco when our travel agent disappeared with our money. We knew she had made reservations at Riad Numero 9, so we called the owner, Stephen, and asked for help in rescuing our adventure. He literally planned our... More

When I travel (and I travel a lot - have been to 53 countries), I look for the following in a hotel: great design, cleanliness, good food, and great service. All of the above are found at Riad Numero 9. My interactions with Stephen (the owner) prior to my trip were great. He gave me great advice on planning my... More

Look no further ! This is an exquisite place on all levels, from its ideal location in the midst of the medina, to the spectacular views overlooking the city from the cozy rooftop terrace, the home-cooked food, the immaculate taste of the decor, and the gracious hospitality of Stephen and Bruno and everyone working there that will make you feel...

Riad Numero 9 (or as everyone knows it: Stephen and Bruno's place) is an absolute gem in the midst of the Fez's lively medina. I highly recommend a stay at the riad for a truly memorable vacation in Morocco. The home and space are impeccably maintained and full of gorgeous Moroccan architectural details. I adored the rooftop space for sitting... More

and very special the owners - Stephen and Bruno. I felt extremely fortunate: An oasis of exquisit taste on many levels - and you get all the help imaginable to experience a culture of which many of us still know so little - and with which we share the same roots. I have passed a wonderful week end of January... More
