From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome here. Ayoub sorted out a WhatsApp chat between us and the Riad, over a mint tea, telling us if ever we were out and either got lost or needed something to send him a message. He made reservations for us at a number of restaurants, which was very kind. Ayoub recommended the most interesting monuments. The breakfasts were perfect up on the roof terrace: tasty with a variety of foods, the coffee was excellent. Bottles of water were given whenever we needed it.

Read moreAbbiamo soggiornato in questo Riad per 6 notti,e ci siamo trovati benissimo.Passi dal caos e dai rumori del mercato ad una atmosfera magica.appena chiudi la porta scura sembra di stare in un altra realta’,la struttura e’ stata ristrutturata da poco,con arredi antichi di ottimo gusto che bene si adattano alla realta’ marocchina,una bellissima vasca al centro e le camere che affacciano sul chiostro con vegetazione ed uccellini che ti accolgono al mattino durante la colazione.Abbiamo anche cenato nel Riad e devo dire che abbiamo mangiato meglio qui che in altri ristoranti rinomati del centro.Anche l’apparecchiatura della tavola elegante e di gusto con porcellane inglesi d’epoca e tovaglioli in tessuto,il camino acceso ed una atmosfera davvero invitante.La camera grande,elegante,bene arredata con un letto comodissimo ed un bagno con doccia molto grande.Colazione servita in terrazza ottima ed abbondante.Tutto perfetto come a casa meglio che a casa.Ma la cosa che davvero mi ha stupito e’ l’accoglienza ricevuta.I ragazzi del Riad sono di una gentilezza,cordialita’,disponibilita’ rare a questo mondo.Ti accolgono ti coccolano e cercano di trovare una soluzione a tutte le tue richieste.Io viaggio spesso ma difficilmente ho incontrato persone così gentili ed ospitali in vita mia.Mi sono rimasti nel cuore.Per questo ed altri motivi mi sento di consigliare vivamente questo Riad.Se dovessi tornare a Marrakesh di sicuro tornero’ qui...
