Restored in 2011
The house
A traditional medina house, restored in 2011 with Salé stone, cedar and thuya wood, traditional tiles and wrought iron, and run by a Franco-Moroccan family.

The patio and its fountain
The house opens around a three-storey courtyard: carved sandstone columns, cedar balustrades, a stone fountain you can hear from the galleries. Cedar moucharabieh screens let you make a corner of your own for tea.

The blue lounge « Essaouira »
The library lounge: coffee-table books, French TV channels including Canal+, Wi-Fi — and a printer you can use from your USB stick.
Fig. 3
The red lounge « Marrakech »
Quieter, for finishing a piece of work or resting before — or after — a day in the medina’s thousand shops.

The roof terrace
Up on the roof: red walls, parasols and loungers, a tiled wall fountain among pots of geraniums, and the medina’s rooftops around you. The sunny place to be, depending on the season.
