We've just returned from a short break in Marrekech in Riad Al-Bushra and can't thank the owners enough. Having arranged our transfers from the airport, we were transported to a beautifully restored riad - a real oasis of calm - and the grey English winter rapidly became but a distant memory. We were treated to lavish breakfasts, which we chose to have have on the roof terrace - an excellent place to recover from the joys of coffee, croissants and a fresh fruit salad to die for. The roof terrace also served as an excellent place to see the sunset, hear the muazzin and review the day - all over a glass of wine. Nothing was too much trouble for our host, whether it was providing directions, breakfast / lunch requests to arranging excursions; we thoroughly recommend the balloon trip which was well worth the early start.
In summary, we had a great time and are now looking at the diary for when we can go back to Riad Al-Bushra.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Riad Al-Bushra. The Riad is beautiful; tastefully decorated with thoughtful use of the space providing different areas within which to relax. We experienced fantastic hospitality from Gary and Steve, the owners, who were incredibly helpful in making our stay a very special one. The highlight of every day was the amazing breakfast feast that was served on the roof terrace; local fruit, pastries and Gary's wonderful cooking provided the perfect start to every day.

The Riad was perfectly located, just a short stroll from the main square and yet in a very quiet area of the medina. Once inside the Riad, the hustle and bustle of the city felt a million miles away and it was very easy to relax and enjoy the facilities along with the complimentary hot drinks.

During our stay we wanted to visit Essaouira and Gary very helpfully gave us the transport options with the various costs and comfort. With their local knowledge and experience, Gary and Steve were able to provide us with information so that we could get the most from our stay and we are already planning a return visit.

We stayed in Riad Al-Bushra during a romantic getaway to Marrakesh and Essaouira. We can absolutely recommend this gorgeous riad, run with passion and enthousiasm by the English owners. The riad is ideally located, in a nice part of the Medina, near Jemaa El Fna square, yet wonderfully quiet. The rooms are tastefully decorated, spacious, and very comfortable (quality mattresses, a real luxury!). Every morning a lovely fresh, abundant breakfast was served (on the roof terrace, in the middle of winter!). One evening we had dinner in the riad, which proved to be one of the best meals we had in Morocco: a lamb tajine with caramelised tomatoes that still makes our mouth water nostalgically...
For those who have a few days in Marrakesh, an excursion to Essaouira is well worthwile, the owners were very helpful and arranged transport for us.

This Riad has been beautifully restored and offers a tranquil base from which to explore the amazing Unesco World Heritage Site of Marrakech old town, and a retreat to return to after a days exploration. When the senses need a rest, the roof terrace of Riad Al Bushra is the ideal location to watch the sun set. The Riad offers amazing cooked breakfasts and a traditional Morrocan Feast can be arranged by appointment, which I thoroughly recommend: the most amazing food. Our hosts were available to meet any need and to offer guidance and arranged a trip to the coastal town of Essouira for us, which offered further insight into Morrocan life.
Small private pockets are available throughout the Riad, where you can read, catch up with e-mails or just relax, without feeling you have to limit yourself to your room. However should you choose to relax in your room these are the height of comfort too. We will certainly return to Riad Al Bushra again and recommend anyone heading to Marrakech check it out too.
