“Jenny and Martin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

What a wonderful Riad, beautifully restored and luxurious. The staff are all very helpful, nothing is too much trouble.
Laurence, the owner will willingly chat about where to go, what to see and how to get there.
We had a fantastic Hamman in the Riad, followed by hot mint tea. Went into the Atlas Mountains with a lovely taxi driver (arranged by Laurence) . We soaked up the atmosphere in the Medina and souks, visited the palaces of old...
If you want perfect hospitality and a wonderful holiday, visit Laurence and Olivier in their Riad

Room Tip: All the rooms are good

“sublime serenity”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

Laurence and her beautiful staff made our stay here a dream. It was idyllic from the moment you step through the door from the cobbled narrow street. You just want to stay forever. Make sure you order the pastille for lunch or dinner on at least one occasion - it will be the best food you eat in Morocco... and the breakfasts - coffee is fab and the orange syrup cake is divine. Laurence you made Monsieur Guy's special birthday very special. Merci

Room Tip: Although I didn't get the room I had booked (Loti) my room (Majorelle) was very comfortable.

“A Hidden Gem!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

Wow!!!!!! From the second you step foot on the soil of this country, you will not be disappointed!!! From the second you step outside the airport in Marrakech, your adventure begins!!! You will be met by an immaculately dressed gentleman in traditional Moroccan attire who will whisk you away to the depths of the medina!!!!
And here is where your magical adventure will start!!! When you arrive to your destination,Riad Laurence Olivier, you will be surrounded by the culture of Marrakech; its dusty narrow cobbled streets, locals sitting chatting on their doorsteps, the smells of different traditional dishes wafting from people's windows.... But then after a few steps up a dark cobbled street impassable for cars, behind a huge hand carved oval brass door is an oasis of light, tranquility and Moroccan luxury!!!
Having been lovingly restored to an exceptionally high standard by Laurence and her husband, you will be welcomed by Laurence and her staff and instantly made to feel at home!!!
Every detail of this beautiful house has been carefully chosen, handmade or hand carved!! Even the details on the bannister surrounding the upstairs gallery is not to be missed...they are passionate about this country, which is made so apparent by their enthusiasm of the place and its culture!!
If I tell you anymore it will spoil the surprise!!!!
I truly had a wonderfully exciting and magical time , which was most definitely down to the kind hospitality of this amazing lady, her amazing home, her incredible knowledge and attentive staff!! I would recommend this riad a million times over and then some, and just can't wait to go back again hopefully towards the end of this year!!!
Thankyou Laurence!!! See you soon.

“November 2012 visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Wonderful place! This characterful old Riad was refurbished over 2 years as a home and the owners passion comes through into building. It feels as if you are staying with friends rather than in a hotel. The rooms are all unique and the garden and heated swimming pool are just brilliant.

The team that Laurence has there is welcoming, happy and always willing to help with great discretion.

It is a 10 - 15 walk to the Souks and you get to stroll in the old medina which is all part of the holiday!

Laurence was great at recommendations and we were able to travel over the Atlas mountains and find wonderful restaurants on her word.

We would recommend this Riad unreservedly before it gets fully booked!

“Friendly welcoming luxury Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

My partner took me to Marrakech as it was always my dream to visit the place. I had no idea where we were going to stay in medina as he kept everything Surprise regarding the trip. We went to the desert for a few days and lived with nomads and we were riding camels on the desert so after a few days of adventures we returned to Marrakech to relax and to my great surprise we arrived at Riad Laurence Olivier to a warm and friendly welcome fom the owners and staff. Lauren the host was such a beautiful and very elegant lady with so much kindness. I was Absolutly fascinated by the interior deco and all the small details that made the Riad so enchanting and it was in the medina so not far if you want to explore the neighbourhood. My self and my partner truly recommend the Riad, it will always be in our wonderful memories of magical marrakech.
