This Marrakech riad, once a residence of the former Pasha of Marrakech, has been refurbished to an extremely high standard with painstaking respect for the Andalusian style and enormous attention to comfort details. The main courtyard has an Andalusian-style swimming pool, thirteen metres long, cutting through it, a huge bougainvillea and two cypress trees soaring to the sky, all distracting you from the fact that you're actually in the heart of the medina.
There are six double rooms, all with en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, satellite television and telephone, wireless connection to broad band Internet. Each room is individually and beautifully decorated. Downstairs, there is a large music-reception room with an art deco Pleyel grand piano and a hi-fi system, a fireplace and comfortable chairs and sofas, for cosy evenings of reading and relaxing, a typical Moroccan saloon and the dining room.
The Turkish bath or hammam in white marble with a relax room where, on request, a professional masseur can take care of the guests, completes the ground floor.
On the first floor are located the bedrooms, all with a bath/shower in suite; special care has been taken to select all the materials employed, mattresses are made to measure using only material in naturals fibres, (pure wool, cotton, jute), and with very comfortable orthopaedic springs, the pillows and duvets are in white goose-breast feathers, the covers in pure lambs wool in winter and pure cotton in summer, the sheets in pure satin Egyptian cotton and the towels and the bath cape in ticker cotton sponge.
The different loggias with iroko wood pergolas are equipped with armchairs and tea tables and a large library room with books, the majority of which are on Moroccan art and history at the disposal of the guests, complete the first floor.
There is a unique view of the medina and the Atlas Mountains from the two terraces that are sheltered partially with wooden pergolas and surrounded by large terracotta flower vases. Tables, comfortable armchairs with cushions and teak chaises-long allow guests to request breakfast and candle lit dinner, as well as to sunbathe during the day. On one of the terraces there is a pavilion with Moroccan sofas, cushions and lamps should some of the guests prefer a more intimate space.
