  • The people

    The reason most guests give. Warm, funny, always around — they carry your bags up the narrow stairs and tell you where to eat. Many come back.

  • The lane

    Inside the medina, yet on a quiet dead-end just off the main avenue: easy to find again at night, and a walk from the station.

  • Breakfast

    Generous, fresh, and flexible — bread instead of sweets if you ask, an early breakfast when you need one.

  • The terrace

    The roof is where guests end up: sun, geraniums, the medina around you.

“Lovely riad on a quiet street in the medina just off the main street, which makes it convenient (and safe).”
