“In the heart of the medina, this riad emphasizes attentive hospitality and thorough cleanliness, even moving furniture to clean beneath. I found that breakfast shines, notably the organic honey and real butter, with sunlit rooms displaying the owner's artistic eye. The rooftop provides a calm spot for evening coffee, completing the home-like atmosphere.”
