Accommodation

The riad consists of five bedrooms and one suite. All have air conditioning, heating and full ensuite facilities. The suite even has its own fireplace and lounge together with a traditional Hammam style bath.

  • Melchior (Ground floor) - an ornate metal-framed bed rests on a raised platform hidden behind traditional archways, the small lounge area has a hand-crafted Berber wardrobe and luxurious Kilim carpet. The bathroom has a traditional Hammam- style tadelekt shower and a combination of tadelekt and Zelige tiling. This room opens onto the central courtyard with its cloistered sitting rooms and grand piano.
  • Gaspard (Ground floor) - also located off the central courtyard this room has twin beds, recessed alcoves and is decorated with hand-crafted Berber Kilims. Situated next to Melchior this twin room is popular with parents travelling with children.
  • Balthazar (1st floor) - this large room is dominated by a canopied four-poster bed. The blend of ornate furnishings designed by local artisans, vibrant fabrics and Berber carpets create a room where the colours and textures of the souks come to life. A traditional Hammam shower, recessed toilet and vanity unit with copper basin complete the true Moroccan feel of this room.
  • Jade (1st floor) - the large four-poster bed gives a regal feel to this room. Sumptuous fabrics, locally hand-crafted furnishings and romantic lighting blend effortlessly to create a relaxing haven. The traditional hammam style shower and tiled vanity unit impart an overtly Moroccan influence to your bathing experience.
  • Arabesque (1st floor) - furnished to a high standard with locally crafted iron work the ornate bedstead is inlaid with walnut and matching bedside cabinets. A minimalist style dominates the room where subtle lighting and traditional alcoves create an intimate atmosphere. The bathroom is decorated in tadelekt with ochre hues and a large hammam style bath.
  • Bahia Suite (1st floor) - for a special occasion or just because you feel like treating yourself the Bahia suite is sure to please. A large sunken bed on a raised platform dominates the suite. Step down into the lounge area where you can relax in the privacy of the open fire. Traditional wooden shutters can be opened to reveal a view of the courtyard below, and impart the early morning scent of jasmine throughout the suite. The bathroom has a large Hammam style bath and shower.
