At the end of a tiny dead end lane in the very heart of the Medina, and looking distinctly unpromising with its collapsing and propped up buildings, is this painstakingly restored small and fabulous riad. With just three rooms available, the owners have lovingly brought every historic piece of timber, plaster and zelij tiling back to its original best. The house is intimate and beautifully furnished with an eclectic and stylish mix of period and contemporary pieces, bird cages, and fabrics including objects from Vietnam, Europe and elsewhere. the terrace looks out over the Medina and hills and is ideal to relax. The home made breakfast preserves, pancakes, juices and range of teas are the passion of the owners, as is the cooking if you have dinner in. The staff and Stephen and Bruno are helpful in the extreme, and will give you lots of honest advice on surviving and enjoying Fes. Rooms E100 to E200 with taxis to airport and that fantastic breakfast.

I am sure the owners are great hearted people. However, this riad is not registered with the Moroccan government and not considered legal. They are purposefully choosing not to register which a majority of the other riads have done. I have no idea who markostravel is but as owner of riad numero 9 I can certainly vouch for my establishment being registered with all governmental authorities. How ridiculous of anyone to write silly mis-information and to presuppose what owners of establishments choose to do!Stephen di Renza
