Clients' comments
The villas was wonderful, the pictures really do not do it justice.....The villa was spotless, exceptionally well equipped and luxuriously furnished. Even it it was to be fully occupied there is plenty of room to get away from one another and you certainly would not feel that it was crowded, in fact there is so much room that if five couples stayed you could easily not see each other if that was what you wanted, even on the terraces you could have privacy. I believe that it is exceptional value for money, located in a very nice area which is convenient for the european quarter.
Mrs Gilmour, November 2007
We had a great time in Marrakesh, the riad was superb and weather great. Many thanks for all your help, will highly recommend to anyone in the future.

Main attractions
South of the Place Jemaa el-Fna, there are palaces, gardens, and museums, such as Dar Si Said, dedicated to the arts and folk crafts of Morocco.
On twisting alleyways nearby is Dar Tiskiwin, an elegant townhouse, open to the public as a museum and full of Moroccan and sub-Saharan wonders collected by Bert Flint, a Dutch expatriate.
The Place Jemaa el-Fna - Marrakech is always a little bit of everything: djellabas and babouches, bright colours, energy, heat. Once you've wandered around the stalls, gorged on all the mouthwatering food and watched everything on the square, it's time to retreat to one of the many cafes and watch the goings-on from a distance. In terms of views, though not of food, the best are the rooftop cafes. From here you can see the entire square of Djemaa el Fna: the smoky and brightly lit food stalls are the centre, but circles of locals form all around the square watching storytellers and actors, and around the edges are the juice stalls selling fresh orange juice. On the northern side are the souks - full of anything you could possibly want to buy, and lots of things you definitely don't! There are tourists aplenty in Djemaa el-Fna and it's tempting to dismiss it all as a commercial show, but the stories are all in Arabic and Berber and plenty of locals come here. The monkeys, snake charmers and fortune tellers seem purely for the benefit of tourists though and you might find one evening here is enough - although most vistors come back night after night.
WHERE TO EAT
Dar Moha, 81 Dar el Bacha, 38-64-00, set in a garden around a pool, and Dar Zellij, 1 Kaasour Sidi Ben Slimane, 38-26-27, in a fastidiously renovated 17th century mansion with carved cedar ceilings and hand-cut zellij tile, specialise in fine, traditional Moroccan fare. Multi-course dinners run €25-€30, and both restaurants have wine lists.
Casa Lalla, Rue Riad Zitoune Lakdime, 16 Derb Jamaa, 42-97-57, offers a set-price menu created by Michelin-starred British chef Richard Neat. There is one sitting at 8 p.m., and only 14 people are served each night, so the required reservations are hard to come by. The price per person is about €25, and diners may bring in their own wine.
Le Pavillon, 47 Derb Zaouia, 38-70-40, and Le Foundouk, 55 El Moukef Souk Hal Fassi Kat Bennahid, 37-81-90, serve French food and wine. Both are in the heart of the medina. Dinner about €25.

Conveniently, in the street there is a small grocer, a cafe, and a pharmacy.
A few minutes walk away, there are delights like the smart 'Cafe de la Poste', delicious continental breakfasts are served in designer surroundings. One can just sit on the terrace watching the world go by, sipping freshly squeezed orange juice or drinking mint tea. Very good restaurant for lunch.
The Marrakech Plaza is also just a few minutes away with western designer labels like Armani contrasting with the artisinal traditional wares in the Medina souks.
Large, French style supermarkets are only 10 minutes drive, if wanting to stock up on provisions.
There are 3 excellent Golf courses in Marrakech. Excursions are possible and easy to arrange to the waterfalls at the foothills of the Atlas, trips to the dessert or the beautiful Essaouira port.
