RECENT REVIEWS
My daughter and I spent 3 very happy days at Riad Rafaele. The building and rooms are beautiful, a haven of peace in the heart of the Medina. The staff and owners are very kind and thoughtful and take a lot of trouble to make you feel welcome and relaxed. We didn’t have dinner but the breakfast was always good with plenty of choice (with different options each day) and presented beautifully. The Riad is very old and atmospheric, with stunning craftsmanship everywhere you look. We loved it.
Janet Crompton
Really beautiful and traditional place, like a large family home with a courtyard in the centre – complete with orange trees and a a small pool. Wife and I booked in for a few days to explore Marrakesh – what a crazy place, where you walk down narrow roads dodging people, bikes, motorbikes, handcarts and donkeys! Very friendly staff who arranged dinner for us at very short notice when we arrived the first evening. All in all, a really lovely and comfortable place to spend a short break.
