The riad

A riad where you are expected, not a hotel.

Behind a cedar door in the Sidi Bel Abbès quarter, the riad opens onto a courtyard planted with banana trees, a green zellige pool and galleries of carved wood. We welcome you with mint tea, trace your route on the map of the medina, and take care of the rest.

The neighbourhood

Sidi Bel Abbès, the medina without the crowds.

In the north of the medina, a quarter that still moves to the rhythm of the people who live here. The souks are a short walk away; the bustle stays at the door.

Tout était parfait, du début à la fin. Le cadre est magnifique, les chambres sont superbes, spacieuses et décorées avec beaucoup de goût. On s’y sent immédiatement bien !

Mention spéciale au petit-déjeuner, sans aucun doute le meilleur que nous ayons dégusté dans un riad à Marrakech ! Tout était délicieux, généreux et préparé avec soin. Un grand merci aux cuisinières, qui sont adorables et dont on ressent toute la passion à travers leurs préparations.

Et surtout, un immense merci à Adnane, qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus exceptionnel ! Toujours souriant, attentionné, disponible et aux petits soins depuis notre arrivée. Sa gentillesse et son sens de l’accueil ont vraiment fait toute la différence.

Nous repartons avec de merveilleux souvenirs et une seule envie : revenir !

Une adresse que nous recommandons les yeux fermés pour un séjour à Marrakech.

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. Il Riad è molto tipico, curato e accogliente, con un ottimo livello di pulizia. Tutto il personale è stato gentile e disponibile, soprattutto Adnane, che ci ha coccolato durante tutto il soggiorno, facendoci sentire davvero a casa.

La colazione è stata speciale: ogni mattina diversa, ricca di deliziosi piatti tipici marocchini, preparati con cura.

Posizione comoda fuori dalla frenesia del centro, che rimane comunque a 10 min in taxi e 20 a piedi.

Un’esperienza autentica e indimenticabile. Consigliatissimo!

 Trustindex vérifie que la source originale de l'avis est Google. J’ai passé un séjour exceptionnel au Riad Aguaviva à Marrakech.

Dès mon arrivée, j’ai été accueilli avec une grande gentillesse et un professionnalisme irréprochable. Le riad est magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût, parfaitement entretenu et offre une atmosphère paisible en plein cœur de la médina.

Les chambres sont confortables, propres et bien équipées. Chaque espace du riad invite à la détente, que ce soit le patio, le salon ou la terrasse.

Un grand merci à Adnane pour son attention constante, ses précieux conseils et sa disponibilité tout au long du séjour. On se sent immédiatement comme à la maison, avec en plus la magie et le dépaysement de Marrakech !

Je recommande ce riad les yeux fermés à toutes les personnes souhaitant découvrir Marrakech dans les meilleures conditions. Une adresse d’exception où je reviendrai avec grand plaisir !

Merci encore pour cette magnifique expérience.

Our host Adnane was very welcoming and made us feel at home. We really enjoyed the home made breakfast served on the rooftop terrace.

Adnane was an incredible help, welcome and general advisor, with honest recommendations and hearty breakfast game!
Just made our stay 100 % more magical than I could have imagined, and I had high expectations.
This Riad is in an honest neighbourhood and we never felt anything but secure walking around at any time of day and night.
