Perfect week in Marrakech

We spent 1 week in Marrakech as a group of 8 friends. Ali and Jannat, the hosts, are extremely lovely people, very hospitable. They were only in the house in the morning to prepare our breakfast, the rest of the day was completely private. We were able to use the riad, which is actually designed for 10 people, for eight people without any other guests after prior enquiry. We would book there again at any time.

Un séjour absolument merveilleux dans ce riad magnifique, d’une propreté irréprochable.La décoration est soignée dans les moindres détails et chaque pièce reflète avec beaucoup de goût l’authenticité et le charme de la culture marocaine. On s’y sent immédiatement bien.Ali et Jeannette sont des hôtes exceptionnels, d’une grande gentillesse, toujours attentifs, discret et sincèrement heureux de recevoir. Leur sens de l’accueil fait toute la différence.Nous avons également eu le plaisir de goûter leur petit-déjeuner ainsi que leur dîner, un vrai moment de convivialité et un véritable régal.Une expérience rare, chaleureuse et inoubliable. Nous recommandons ce riad sans la moindre hésitation.

Profiter de la Medina en groupe

Un très agréable séjour au Riad d’Ali et son épouse, privatisé pour notre famille. Conseils pour visiter Marrakech, aide pour les réservations, petits-déjeuners copieux et excellents… nos hôtes ont été disponibles, gentils et à l’écoute de nos demandes. Situé à proximité des souks, au cœur d’un quartier populaire typique, le Riad est très agréable, bien rénové et équipé. C’est une belle rencontre. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Excellent séjour et accueil dans un Riyad magnifique

Un superbe accueil de Ali, sa femme et sa famille. Le sourire en plus :-) Toujours disponible et de bon conseil. Le Ryiad est très bien situé dans le souk de Bad Doukkala. Il y a tout a porté de main, dépaysement garanti dès qu'on ouvre la porte du Riyad. Le Riyad est juste magnifique et la décoration nous emmène au pays des milles et une nuit. Nous étions 7 et chaque enfant avait sa chambre et sa salle de bain décorée avec gout. Déjeuner sur la terrasse est un vrai plaisir pour les yeux et la fraicheur. Le petit déjeuner peut être préparé sur demande, a ne pas louper ! Tout est fait maison le matin même par Radia la sœur d'Ali. Le tout avec le sourire. La même chose pour les repas du soir (Tajine, couscous ...) Le souk et les principaux points d'intérêts sont accessibles à pied. Nous retournerons dans ce petit havre de paix au cœur de la vieille ville. Merci à Ali et sa famille pour nous avoir accueilli !

Un super séjour dans un magnifique Riad marocain

Superbement situé le Riad a de belles prestations et est décoré avec beaucoup de goût! Les chambres spacieuses et des salles de bains dans chaque chambre permettent d’apprécier tous les espaces! Un accueil et une organisation parfaite pour nous récupérer à l’aéroport et nous y re-déposer et à la fin du séjour. Radia une excellente cuisinière qui nous a fait des couvrir les spécialités marocaines quand nous avions envie de rester au calme pour le dîner. Il y a des restaurants à toute proximité du Riad de très bonne qualité ! Un séjour parfait dans une ville attractive et une adresse que je recommande fortement !

Une première à Marrakech bien réussie!

Un super accueil d'Ali et de Jannat pour notre première expérience en riad à Marrakech! De l'accueil guidé lors de notre arrivée, des petits déjeuners copieux aux produits locaux, aux magnifiques chambres (déco, salle de bain superbe, etc...), tout était parfait! Petits et grands, nous recommandons tous ce riad très calme, pause idéale après des journées trépidantes dans les souks :)
