Un séjour extraordinaire !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille. La prestation est dans son ensemble très qualitative. L’emplacement du riad est parfait , au calme et a quelques minutes à pied des souks. Un accueil fantastique de Bouchra qui était là pour répondre à toutes nos questions de logistiques et avec qui nous avons eu de très beaux échanges sur la culture marocaine . Bouchra est aussi une excellente cuisinière qui nous a fait découvrir les délices de la cuisine locale .

un beau séjour dans ce Riad de Marrakech

Une semaine fantastique pour un séjour en famille dans ce riad autentique, calme, chaleureux, aux coeur des souks. Avant notre départ nous avons apprécié le contact facile avec le propriétaire, sa disponibilité, sa gentillesse et ses bons conseils. Sur place, Bouchra, l'intendante nous a reçus avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Disponible, attentive à notre bien être, toujours souriante, attentionnée envers les petits et les grands et ...excellente cuisinière. Tajines couscous et spécialités locales commandés pour les repas du soir ...étaient un régal ! Marrakeck, Essaouira, le désert d'Agafay (camps du bedouin) la Valléé de l'Ourika, Anima "jardin magique", nous ont comblés. Une semaine dépaysante et ressourçante appréciée par toute notre famille ! Une très bonne adresse.

Notre meilleur séjour a Marrakech depuis des années ! Our best stay in Marrakech in years !

Tout était parfait : la location dans un quartier calme et raffiné en plein coeur de la médina. Un Ryad authentique, élégant, extrêmement confortable et entretenu. Mais surtout Bouchra qui est l âme de cette maison, toujours aux.petits soins pour les invités, et une cuisinière hors pair. N'hésitez pas une seconde ! Everything was perfect. The location in a quiet and élégant area within the medina. The Ryad is authentic, refined, comfortable and spotless. But above all Bouchra is the soul of this house, will do anything to make your stay a success and is probably the best cook in town. Do not hesitate for a second.

The photos did not do this property justice; it was exceptional.

A real oasis in the hectic and frenetic Medina. We did not want to leave and wished we could have spent more time in this beautifully restored Riad then explore Marrakesh! Arrival was seamless, our host so friendly and accommodating, and made us fantastic breakfasts and a spectacular dinner. We highly recommend this Riad.

A dream in the heart of Marrakesh’s historic center

I am in the airport, en route to Paris and amready dreaming about when I can return to this beautiful private family home in Marrakech. Roomy, exquisitely restored, and incredibly convenient to all of the sights in the medina, yet beautifully silent at night. The warm and attentive house manager (who also prepares fantastic Moroccan home cooking on request), daily maid service, and complimentary breakfast are all additional treasures of the house. With plenty of room to relax and enjoy life, this riadh has it all, and then some. I give it my highest recommendation, and look forward to my next visit.

Beautiful traditional home and amazingly hospitality

Overall - highly recommended!! This is a beautiful traditional home at a perfect spot in the medina (old town). It truly is an oasis of calm with a trickling fountain and perfect orange tree in the courtyard. The roof terrace is great, all the rooms and bathrooms are very clean and up to par even though some parts have original decoration from the 1700s. Boushraa was incredibly hospitable, anticipating needs and responding to things immediately...not to mention she is an incredible chef! Do yourself a favour and reserve at least a couple times to have her cook dinner for you. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, it was perfect.

Incredible friendly atmosphere

Our party of 6, with people from France and the US, couldn't have wished for a better stay in beautiful Marrakech over the holidays. We had an authentic experience of the highest quality thanks to the excellent care of Bouchraa and Khadijah. A big thank you to the owner, Jean Baptiste, for sharing his Riad. Highly recommended. - Samy, Taylor, Diana, Martine, Emmanuel, Océane
