Myself and my husband stayed in Dar Charkia, a lovely riad tucked away in the back streets of the centre of the busy old town of Medina, Marrakech. It's the perfect peaceful antidote to the hot bustling streets of the city. The plunge pool in the courtyard surrounded by an eclectically decorated orange tree and relaxing seating area helps!

From the moment we arrived we were treated with a warm and friendly greeting. We were made thoroughly welcome and relaxed. Our needs were soon recognised and advice was flowing on an individual basis, so our stay in Marrakech was all we wanted it to be. The accommodation was very tasteful and classy without losing its charm and intimacy. The... more

We chose Marrakech for the weather, culture, chic riads and fine dining, we were not disappointed. Lisa sorted a great itinerary for a 50th B'day trip, with shopping, golf and restaurants. The riad felt like home from home, cool and spacious, fully equiped for every eventuality with great staff on hand to top up the beer/vino etc. The rooms were... more

Some of our pals stayed in Dar Charkia earlier in the year so we knew we would like it, and Wow it was great!

From the time we arrived till the time we left we could not have been treated better, this was our first experience of a riad and nothing was too much trouble, we would return Mick & Irene Taplin more

This was our first trip to Marrakech and it certainly won't be the last! The Dar Charkia was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay just a few minutes walk from the bustling Souks and some fabulous bars and restaurants. We were lucky enough to be upgraded, our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and had the best decor of any... more

Before our stay i had been avidly reading the reviews on trip advisor, and was getting slightly worried that Dar Charkia would not live up to all the fantastic reviews. However the Riad, owners and staff were every bit as wonderful as the reviews suggested. The evening meal we had on the first night was fantastic and the breakfasts were... more

Hidden away in the bustling medina, we arrived to the magnificent sanctuary of Dar Charkia to a warm welcome from the English speaking owners. An excellent dinner was enjoyed in the riad the first night and we also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts served on the roof terrace in luxouriuos Moroccan style. We had the benefit of filling the whole riad... more

Myself and my partner stayed at Dar Charkia for four nights mid-September. The riad is beautiful, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable - the various seating areas made it a lovely place to relax after a day sightseeing. Lisa and Michael were very welcoming; Lisa in particular was very helpful, always willing to take time to give recommendations and... more
