17th Century Heritage House, Marrakech, Marrakech & High Atlas, Morocco
Situated in Quartier Riad Laarous, just twelve minutes walk from Djemaa el Fna, in the very heart of the ancient medina of Marrakesh, Riad Dar Afrique is a 17th century heritage house. Available exclusively for private holiday rental this beautifully restored Moroccan home retains many of its original features.
Oozing with authenticity and atmosphere, the riad is a haven of peace and quiet for guests seeking a truly private retreat in the melee of bustling souks. Tastefully enhanced with several stylish new features including a plunge pool, hammam and roof terrace, the riad has three luxurious en-suite bedrooms and a large salon, comfortably accommodating up to 6 guests.
For those keen to cook Moroccan-style, a small but well-equipped kitchen is stocked with a range of spices from the nearby souq, and a selection of Moroccan recipes. Otherwise, a variety of restaurants and cafés are only a few steps away.
Overlooking the trees and public gardens of Sidi Bouamer to the north and, in winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas to the south, the views from the sunny roof-garden are simply superb. From the quiet snug, keeping in touch with the world couldn’t be easier with a resident riad laptop and wireless internet access with webcam and ‘Skype’. Equipped with flat-screen TV’s, a DVD player, stereo system and ‘Play Station’, there’s also a wide choice of ‘in-house’ entertainment available.
