Conveniently located in the medina, easy access to main sightseeing spots (koutoubia, palaces, place el jemaa and souk). It was our first time in an african country and we were pleased to find such pleasant people at the riad. GPaulo and his sidekick Mohammed always give you some practical and useful advises. They are friendly, helpful and even though outside the peaceful riad, life is quite noisy and chaotic you feel that if something goes wrong during your stay you would call the riad and they would help straight away. I would recommend to take the taxi option as the first time it is bit tricky to locate it as no street name. Overall fantastic people, nice riad and well located, just enjoy! J&K

A very beautiful and quite place to stay in the center of the old town.
GianPaolo made a true jewel out of this authentic Riad.
All the staff was very helpful and did all to make our stay very enjoyable.
Thank you.

I cannot recommend this riad highly enough! The riad itself is beautiful and well-maintained. The location is very convenient and a welcome haven of peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The owner and staff are the kindest and friendliest people you could hope to welcome you in Marrakech. I am certain that without Gpaulo and his amazing staff, our short visit (3 days) to Marrakech would have been nowhere near as wonderful. They were full of welcome tips and suggestions, as well as making sure that we (as 3 ladies travelling alone) always felt safe and comfortable. The breakfasts were delightful as well. You'd be missing out if you didn't stay at this fantastic riad! And please do contact Gpaulo directly for reservations via his email/ website listed on this page-best way to go! Best wishes and a heartfelt thank you for making our stay unforgettable to everyone at Maison Arabo Andalouse from Jolie, Sara & Roxy!

Quite simply, this is an excellent riad, in a central location, with wonderfully attentive and accommodating staff. We used the taxi service provided by Maison Arabo Andalouse and this dropped us about 2 mins walk from the riad. Mohammed was on hand to help us with our cases and guide us through the alleys to the riad. On arrival, Gian-Paolo met us and both he and Mohammed chatted to us about the local area, places to visit, etc., while we were served some excellent mint tea and local pastries. The riad is situated within the Medina and about 10 mins walk from the 'big square' Jemaa el-Fnaa, Koutoubia Mosque, Saadian Tombs and numerous other sites of interest, so you're well placed for sight-seeing on foot. Even though the riad is located centrally in such a busy and noisy city as Marrakech, when you close the door, you're in an oasis of calm. Palm trees and banana trees stretch up from the peaceful courtyard, and here Fatima provided us with a great breakfast each morning. Mohammed is very attentive and always available to arrange taxis, trips and to provide helpful advice and guidance. The riad is tastefully decorated throughout, with Berber influences, magnificent wooden doors and wonderful lamps. We stayed in Room 7 and it was clean, comfortable and perfectly fulfilled our needs. There's an airy roof terrace, so if you can't face another adventure through the labyrinths of the souks, you could easily spend your day lazing quietly on a lounger, under a shady canopy. All in all, a great place to stay.
