Ryad Mabrouka is a haven from the flurry of life in the medina, run by husband and wife Pierre-Marie and Caroline. They and their team of multi-lingual staff (English is among the languages spoken) are your hosts at this eight-bedroom 14th-century mansion located in the historic medina of Fez. Riad Mabrouka, Fez He and his team of multi-lingual staff (English is among the languages spoken) are your hosts at this eight-bedroom 14th-century mansion located in the historic medina of Fez.

The accommodation is primarily composed of an assortment of suites and a couple of slightly smaller rooms, furnished and decorated with a carefully selected collection of French antiques and locally-crafted items. The decor is one of tasteful restraint mixed with typically exuberant Moroccan patterns.

From the rooftop terrace, there is a delightful panoramic view of the medina and the neighbouring countryside. The dining area also has magnificent views over the city. Indoors and out (and of course, in a Moroccan riad, that is a distinction that is sometimes somewhat blurred) there is a great sense of space, as this hotel seems to take up a little more than its share of the medina.

Restaurant:

Lunches and dinners are available on request for hotel guests, served either in the garden or on the verandah overlooking the city. The typical Moroccan food is highly regarded, and French or Mediterranean cuisine is available if preferred. At Christmas time when the culinary bias swings towards France, Michel has been known to venture into the kitchen himself!

A Word From the Owner:

"We will be happy to share our passion and experience of Fez and Morocco, help you feel at home and fully enjoy the medina and region of Fez."

What We Say:

It's so good to find a riad in the medina that has so much space outside: a garden and a swimming pool!

From the Guestbook:

"The only thing we regretted was that we couldn't stay longer. We found the staff professional, friendly, and helpful. Hassan and Fatima were pleasant and attentive and certainly didn't give us the impression that we were disturbing them when we asked for something. Quite the contrary. We had several very interesting conversations with Michel and Pierre who told us the history of the ryad and about living in Fes."

"Beautiful riad, great balance of location, comfort and price - clean, pretty, bathrooms with towels, etc; great breakfasts (a little too much to eat) and lovely dinner; refreshing plunge pool."

"There's little to say. This was as nearly perfect as anywhere I've ever stayed. Beautiful rooms. Fantastic staff. It was just gorgeous. Don't miss this if you are in Fes."
