Best places to stay:
This lovely riad set in lush gardens in the southern part of the Medina is a tasteful mix of Moroccan style and modern comfort.
The bright, light-filled rooms are spacious and stylish with all mod cons, including satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Gusts can relax around a lovely pool and in the superb spa (including a hammam).
The excellent cuisine here is Moroccan and international, with French and Moroccan wines.
It’s convenient for several top sights, but a fair stroll to the main square and souks.
Stepping out from the riad’s verdant gardens into the gritty alley outside can come as a shock if you’ve arrived in the quiet of the night.
On the southern edge of the Medina, inside the kasbah walls, the riad is located in a dusty residential neighbourhood of dilapidated houses and high walls that hide some of the city’s most luxurious riads.
