The air-conditioned rooms at Riad Dar Maya are decorated in an elegant style and include a fireplace. Some also feature a balcony. Free Wi-Fi access is provided. From.the moment I arrived at this hidden little gem everything was wonderful. I was travelling alone for a horse riding holiday and staying outwith before the trek and after here. I was welcomed from the start and absolutely lived my stay. My room was absolutely gorgeous, full of character and added to my Morroccon experience. The Riad is hidden away like most of them but was very easy to find when I found my bearings. The breakfast is were delicious and there was lots of places to sit and chill. The terrace was lovely to watch the sunset. I will 💯 stay here again.

At the heart of the Old Medina, La Maison des Artistes is within walking distance to the souks, fishing port and beach. It features a panoramic rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Skala de la Kasbah monument. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Each is uniquely decorated and some have panoramic windows with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful accommodation. The view at the roof terrace is otherworldly. Very clean - the place is thoroughly cleaned everyday - and the breakfast is very good. Isabelle has a sense of hospitality that is "hors catégorie". I am a solo traveler, and Isabelle and Abdelkader really took care of me; it felt like a sanctuary. Isabelle gives great recommendations on where to eat. One day Isabelle took me to the market to buy some fish, chose a restaurant for me where they grilled the fish and even showed me how to eat sardines the Moroccan way. Do visit the hammam, Isabelle makes reservations. My only regret is that I did it the last day of my stay, otherwise I would have definitely done it again.
