My partner and I have recently returned from a 5-day stay in this absolutely stunning Riad. The location, food, service and rooms were certainly amongst the very best we have ever experienced!

The Basics: The Riad is owned and operated by Michael and Michel who are very warm and welcoming hosts. The Riad has 5 guest rooms, individually decorated with a warm Morrocan feel. Each room has en-suite facilities of a high standard, a safe for valuables (although the Riad is very secure) and bottled spring water which is replenished daily free of charge. There is a small plunge pool in the courtyard which is perfect for a quick dip. Off the courtyard there is a dining area (although you can also eat on the roof or outside your own room) and a small longe area packed with books on Morrocco. There are also various spa treatments available onsite at the Riad. I would recommend having a hamman (a traditional form of exfoliation) early on in your holiday. I don't think my partner has ever been so clean!! The massages are also wonderful and will ensure you feel completely relaxed.

The Location: The Riad is situated within the old City walls of the Medina about a 10 minute walk to both the main square in the Medina - where you can experience the hustle and bustle of the souks - and the New Town outside the City walls where the larger hotels and shops are situated.

The Food: Breakfast is included in the rate of the room and is served on the sun tearrace on the roof of the Riad. Breakfast inlcudes fresh fruits, breads and cakes with tea/coffee and orange juice and the most delicious creamy yoghurt (which is Michel's own recipe). You can also request dinner which we would highly recommend! We ended up eating at the Riad on 4 nights and were treated to 3 or 4 courses of the most delicious Moroccan inspired food cooked to our own tastes. I am vegetarian and the chef designed specially prepared tagines, cutlets and kebabs for me - all of which were very tasty. The desserts were particularly incredible - ask the chef to make you his hot stawberry spring roll, gorgeous! Mint tea, coffee and spring water are free. The Riad has a licence and is therefore able to serve alcoholic drinks including locally sourced wine. The cocktails were very good and the food and the drink is very reasonably priced.

The Service: All of the staff at the Riad were very attentive. The rooms are serviced regularly and you will find that your clothes will have been tidied away and the bed made by the time you return from breakfast! They also turn down the bed for you at night. Michael and Michel are always on hand to advise you on trips and excursions, places to visit and tips on haggling in the souks. They will also arrange taxis for you and wake up with you to see you off on early trips. You really feel like you have been well looked after and you won't want to leave them....

I simply cannot say enough about this place, it truly was a wonderful stay and comes very highly recommended.
