charming riad stay

attentive staffrooftop viewscomfortable bedexcellent sleep

I found the staff attentive and helpful. They promptly addressed any requests i had. the rooftop terrace offered fine views and a plunge pool to relax in, it was just too chilly for a full swim. the bed was very comfortable, the blackout in the room ensured we had excellent sleep.

i found the bathroom smelled a little in the evenings, likely because the water wasn't run regularly! once i showered, the smell seemed to go away, it wasn't a big problem.

stayed at this riad it has been updated and improved now. service is great, a very warm welcome is provided. they prepared special gluten free breads and pastries for our celiac daughter, it was real extra mile stuff.

the riad location requires walking through pedestrian streets. it can be difficult to reach by car. this location may not suit guests with accessibility needs. the riad should provide clearer directions about this.

the staff offered airport pickup, i appreciated that as finding the riad was tricky. stefania greeted me warmly and showed me a personalized map. my suite included a private rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi, so that was very nice.
