We have wanted to visit Marrakech for a long time but wanted a Riad to ourselves. This 2 bedroom riad is the perfect solution in every way. The property is sensitively renovated and very authentic. The location is perfect, with Jemma el-Fna Square literally 3 minutes walk from the front door. There is also a bureau de change round the corner (all Banks and BdC offered the same rates within 0.3dhm so no point shopping around). There is a wide selection of restaurants throughout the Medina all within a 15-20 minute walk. My tip would be to avoid the restaurants on square.
Breakfast was plentiful and fresh each day, lunch was fabulous and we had dinner in the Riad on 2 occasions. Fatima’s cooking is at least as good as, if not better than, most of the local restaurants. We ate at Naranj and Les Cantine de Gazelle, 2 top rated restaurants in Trip Adviser and they were no better than Fatima’s cooking.
Finally, communication with Pierre, the property owner, was very efficient and informative. He responded promptly every time we contacted him during the booking process and in the lead up to our stay. The week before we travelled he sent emails with loads of information and recommendations on what to do and where to go. He made all the arrangements we needed for airport transfers and drivers for any excursions we had booked ourselves. He was happy to help with everything to ensure our stay was stress free.
If you want to visit Marrakech but have any apprehensions then this is the place to stay. This was one of the best experiences of my life and I would recommend Pierre, his Riad and his team very highly.
