“What a gem in the heart of the medina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

My friends and I stayed in this Riad for 5 days. When arriving at Marrakesh we were totally lost but the riad manager was so nice to come greet us outside the maze of narrow roads, helped us with our luggages and we followed him to the riad. Entering the riad we were reliefed to see this beautiful decorated place. It made us forget all the craziness out there. The staff were lovely, polite and always ready to help us. Place was clean. We literally felt at home. When we decided to have bfast up on the terrace this was no problem for the staff. I suggest this riad to anyone and IF one day im back in Marakesh I know which riad i'm choosing.

“Great stay, totally recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

Location is great, close to everything and very easy to locate (a really good thing in the maze of Marrakech). Sergio is a great host and he understood our needs since the 1st minute of our arrival and our 2 day stay was perfect and we really felt the vibe of the city.

The place is really pretty, rooms are awesome with the air conditioner, comfortable beds and big bathroom. The terrace is great (specially at night, during the day is too hot ;D). Breakfast is really good.

Overall I would recommend the place to anyone.

“Very unexpected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 31, 2012

Took a quick trip to Marrakech for shopping and found this riad online. What a gem in the heart of the Medina. You are right next to the hospital and the Kings Palace and about 5 min walk to the Souks. The place was spotless and nicely appointed with VERY spacious updated bathrooms ( a must for me). The staff was very accomodating but speaks little English so brush up on your French. The terrace offers a lovely view of the Katoubia at night and breakfast in the morning was wonderful.
I must admit i was a little nervous when the driver dropped me off and Sergio met us and we had to walk 3-4 minutes through what seemed like a maze of alleys to get to the riad, but i was fine. It is very safe and the locals were very helpful ( for 20 dirham :) ).
All in all I was quite impressed and would absolutely stay there again.

“Lovely , would recommend...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2011

A few wet rainy days in Marrakech were made all the more bearable by returning to this delightful Riad. Andrea and his staff are lovley and I made good use of my O Level (1980!!) French..! The rooms are beautifully fitted out - although I could have done with a bath my feet were so wet! The Breakfast was huge and filling and beautifully presented, and the recomendations from Andrea for Restaurants and Bars (go to the Kosybar it was great fun ) were spot on. Not very keen on Marrakech but that was the continually rain and had nothing to do with this lovely Riad. Andrea is rather dishy too!
