We were lucky enough to also have the owner (Valerie Barkowski) staying at the same time at the riyad. She has been extremely helpful to us, giving us tips, showing us around where to eat, what to buy and more importantly... More

Dar Kawa, a traditional "dar" built in the 17th century, is located in the heart of the old city (medina), a few steps away from the Medersa Ben Youssef (coranic school) and the famous spice market.Working with belgian architect Quentin Wilbaux, the owner looked for a way to combine the saadian seventeenth-century architecture of the house with modern comforts and style, bringing the house firmly into the twenty-first century. Only traditional materials were used for the restoration and the basic structure of the house was left intact. ... more   less
