Medina

Built at the end of the 18th century, it is the historic heart of the city and the main center of activity with the port. Surrounded by a Vauban-style wall, the Medina is protected by fortifications where the European style blends harmoniously with the Arab-Muslim style. The Sqala de la Kasbah is an example accessible and open to the public of these fortifications where the walls are still under attack from the ocean. Inside, the maze of alleys divides the districts and the various souks. Fairly organized despite everything, the souk offers all types of products. Clothing rubs shoulders with spices, necklaces, bracelets and other items follow olives and other fruits and vegetables. There are many restaurants where the fresh fish caught in the morning is cooked for lunch or dinner. Many other typical dishes are also offered and it is good to stop on a terrace, in the refreshing shade of the trees. The Medina was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

our opinion

Leaning against the ramparts and in a cul-de-sac, this traditional riad of 83 m² is built on three levels and has openings on two facades.

On the ground floor, the space is structured around a central fountain under a glass dome which bathes the room in light.

A guest toilet, an open and equipped kitchen, a dining area and a living room with fireplace make up this first level.

The riad has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, spread over the three upper floors.

On the third and last floor a double terrace is dedicated to relaxation and meals.

In terms of atmosphere and decoration, it is in respect of the traditional Moroccan spirit that thuja wood, bejmat, facing stones and even tadelakt were used.

In the passageways, the railings and pillars are made of chiseled wood, just like the bedroom doors, giving off a warm atmosphere.
