This is, hands down, one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed…period. The attention to detail in both the presentation and decoration of Riad Le Calife is beyond 5 star reviews. What Yasmine & Alex have created is an incredible oasis of comfort and serenity. It oozes tons of charm and sophistication at every turn. The rooftop views are incredible. The courtyard is beautiful. The bar was so cinematic that it felt like The Continental in a John Wick movie. The dining room views overlooking the Medina are stunning. The staff is amazing: Mohammed. Saida. Fatima. Said. They went above and beyond in order to create an incredibly welcoming environment from the moment we stepped out of our taxi and walked into the courtyard. They made us feel at home immediately. I can’t say enough about how absolutely wonderful our experience was staying here. It was hard to leave. Big thanks again to Yasmine and Alex!

Amazing! This was a truly outstanding experience. We have travelled a lot in Morocco and around the world and this boutique Riad was definitely up there with the very best! A special ‘Thank you!!’ to Yasmine for being so helpful with offering to help sort out our car hire problem, removing the stress and taking the weight off our shoulders and thus enabling us to relax and really appreciate our wonderful stay at Le Calife. Apart from being an exquisite Riad, the staff were delightful and the attention to detail was exceptional. To top it all, a beautifully presented breakfast in sumptuous surroundings was arranged for us for a very early departure at 5am on our last morning. We simply cannot fault it!

Excellent riad!
An incredible riad - don’t hesitate in booking your stay here. Alex and jasmine are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond. It’s made my future stays in Marrakesh difficult - the standard is now so high! From the room to the rooftop terrace, everything is wonderful. Breakfast is excellent and I’d encourage anyone to have dinner there one night. Do take into consideration the riad is around 20 min walk to the main dining options. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

My husband and are still raving about our time at Riad Le Calife. We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful our experience was. The guest house is beautifully decorated with little vignettes set up everywhere you look. The styling is beautiful. I kept taking pictures to show my interior designer as I knew she would love everything about it and it would just make her happy to see. The location was also perfect. We loved being in the old medina, but loved that we were tucked away from fray. Then there is the unbelievable hospitality of Alex and Yasmine. They take you in and take care of everything. Their joy of life, hosting, and sharing the love of their city is infectious. We found ourselves just wanting to be in their presence. We had them plan our various tours, and were thrilled with the results. They took care of everything. They have trained their staff to take care of every detail and anticipate your every need. The food is also amazing. We ate so well. When the end of our time in Fes came we weren't ready to leave. We will definitely be back and can't recommend it highly enough

When you enter Riad Le Calife in Fes, Morocco, you enter the tales of 'One Thousand and One Nights'. The beauty, and mystery of the place are overwhelming. Each room is taken from a fairy tale, the hosting couple who created the place are generous in their welcoming and help, the staff are warm and helpful, the restaurant to remember. We recommend it whole heartedly and cannot wait to return!!

Such A Wonderful Riad!
We decided to make a quick stop in Fez during our visit to Morocco. After staying at this Riad - I wish we’d spent our entire trip here!! The Riad is simply incredible. It’s chic and meticulously maintained. The attention to detail is next to none. It was an oasis we never wanted to leave! We had a super early morning flight which required us to leave by 3:30a - the staff was so wonderful and so accommodating. Thank you to Alex, Yasmine, Meryeme and the entire team for making our stay perfect. We will be back!!

Our favourite spot in Morocco!
Riad Le Calife was incredible! We spent two weeks in Morocco- 5 riads, one desert tent and a hotel - and Riad Le Calife was by far our favourite! Everything was spot on - the ambiance is great, Yasmine and Meryeme are fabulous and soooooo helpful, the food is great and the decor is beautiful! Couldn’t recommend it more highly! I’d go back to Fes just to spend time there! A haven in the hectic city!

the perfect oasis in Fes
What a little gem in the middle of Fes! It's my first time traveling to North Africa and to a Muslim predominant country, it was definitely an eye opening experience. location - right in the heart of media and easily accessible by taxi from taxi aiport. The riad arranged airport transport at a very reasonable price, and the staff was waiting for us to help with the luggage when we arrive. room - the room is very spacious and well appointed. It was better than the pictures on line, beautifully decorated with all the intricate Moroccan details. The bathroom is large, with separate shower and toilet, and a large bathtub. Super clean and comfortable, and well stock with all the amenities (slippers, bathrobe) that one need during vacation. The riad itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated with all the antiquities the owner collected over the years. Service - the service is impeccable. The riad owners Yasmin and Alex take such excellent care of the guests and make sure you have the best time in Fes. They help you with the itinerary and restaurant recommendations, walk through the map, and paid great attention to every detail of the stay. There are only 7 rooms in the riad, so you really feel that the service is very personal. From the welcome mint tea on arrival, to the cookies in the room baked by the riad's chef, I felt very pampered by all the staff. Value - great value, breakfast included, and much more comfortable than hotels.
