    The riad is located near one of the gates of the medina, about a 15-minute walk from the main square. The riad itself is fascinating, with a cozy terrace where you can enjoy breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious, and they prepare something...

    Beautiful retreat from the busy streets of Marrakech, stunning place, just what we were needing after a busy few days in the desert, so tranquil and relaxing, we loved it!

    Good location near a main gate and bus station, 10 mins from train station (though taxis don’t use meters and will haggle). Fair breakfast, which you can supplement from small shops nearby and a fruit market at the gate. Helpful staff.
