delicious breakfasthospitable hostsrooftop terrace

the riad offer a delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace, it had something different each day. the hosts are very hospitable, they always served us tea when we asked about places. they checked on us during breakfast and upon our return from tours, so i liked that.

the inner garden could get noisy sometimes, with loud music and many people.

Location

the riad is tucked away in a quiet corner of the medina, it had a really good placement. its location close to the heart of the medina makes it easy to reach things. the proximity to main attractions is convenient, i will say.
