Full of character as an authentic Riad, we were met and taken to the Riad to be greeted by Gilles, with a welcome drink and loads of information about the area: where to eat, where the main attractions were, safety aspects; and general tips. Breakfast was generous as part of the accommodation costs.
Thank you Gilles Ghizlane, Saïda, Soumia for looking after us so well. We will always have fond memories of our stay at your Riad and without a doubt we would recommend your Riad to future travellers.

We had a lovely stay in January. Giles and the other members of staff were so helpful. They made us vegan options every morning for breakfast, including a delicious cake. I'd definitely recommend staying here as it was fantastic value for money.

Perfect stay
We had an amazing stay at this Riad, Gilles and his team was always making sure we had everything we needed, and, traveling with a toddler means you sometime have different needs. The Riad Is so peaceful, the rooms are very spacious and the breakfast was delicious! We ate also dinner there one evening and it was very good as well. We will definitely come back to Marrakech and stay here again.

Pre Christmas in Marrakech
Had the riad pretty much all to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Ideally locally in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk to the souks and 10 minutes walk to the main square.
