Exceptional! Historic Riad with Pool and Gardens

A jewel of Arab Andalusian architecture,

with seven arcades, this riad combines the refinement of the past with modern comfort. It is built in the 13th century ramparts of the medina with a striking tower adjoining its terraces.

Ideally located, between the Bab Boujloud gate and the Ain Azliten car park, the riad faces directly opposite the Borj Nord and its terraces, with a view of the tombs of the Merinids and Mount Zalagh.

The current owners, a French-English Parisian couple, fell in love with this riad twenty years ago. They lovingly restored it to welcome family and friends with a touch of typically Moroccan good manners.

Its numerous aligned rooms all overlook the garden with lush vegetation, sheltering orange and lemon trees, bougainvillea and night jasmine that cascade down. It is a true haven of peace.

Pass through the elegant entrance to find a central fountain and shaded paths leading to the lounges and a large swimming pool nestled within the walls. Thanks to its elevated position and the freshness of its garden, the riad is extremely pleasant in all seasons, including summer.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, between the ramparts and the Talaa Kebira, there were only gardens which suggest that the Riad was once a country house.

All living rooms and 6 bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning and heating.

Discover the rich history of the riad by climbing onto the 4 furnished terraces, including one with a defensive tower of the old ramparts.

The riad is titled. Furniture is included in the purchase price.
