Refurbished Riad in the medina of this nice medieval town. Although they owners had done their best to bring it up to standard, they had forgotten certain elements. For instance our bathroom was very damp, smelly, torn down. Please bring these up to standard and you will have a wonderful riad!

Four of us enjoyed our stay at the riad. Our hosts, Clemente and his girlfriend, were helpful in providing us local dining and hamam recommendations. Overall the riad is a good value for its price.

The breakfast is really large comprising of lots of toast, croissants, flatcake and pancakes. The rooms are charming but two small points for improvement. The owner did not... More

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming riad. On our arrival we were first introduced to the city. It helped us to get started with shopping, finding good restaurants etc. As we wanted to go horse riding they arranged the reservation.
