Inbetween the patio and the upper level, you will find a big room decorated in the moroccan style; Double bed and bathroom in zellige. Delicate rays of lights and wrought iron make the charm of it... On the upper level, 3 rooms are located along the romantic balcony: the master bedroom with a king size bed and a grey tadelakt bathroom with a modern design. The 2 other rooms, one with a queen size bed and one with 2 twin beds share a beige tadelakt bathroom. On the terrace level, you will find a room dedicated to leisure and farniente; we tore down the wall and set a huge window with a view on the medina... We also set a fireplace for confort... A summer kitchen has been added next to it. The terrace in itself is a must.. As the house is much taller than the surrounding ones, the view on the Medina and the Merenide Graves, is stunning. Due to the height, you are protected from being seen by the neighbours.. Privacy, a luxury in the medina. The dar is located in a quiet dead end little street , 15 min from Bab Boujloud and 5 minutes from the RCIF place. Moroccan breakfast and linens are included in the price. A cook is available if you wish for lunch and dinner for a modest supplement; she can even teach you moroccan cooking. Transfert to and from airport can be organized; a concierge will welcome you and guide in your first steps in the house and the medina. Aircon in the rooms, wifi and satellite TV. Besides the tour of the Medina and numerous wanderings in the souks, you could also have a walk to the jewish cemetery and the adjacent neighbourhood, the Mellah. You could also wander in the new town of Fes.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Wish I could stayed longer
Love this place! This is one of the most memorable places I have ever stayed! We definitely felt cozy and like home. Not to mention this place is in the center of "Old Town" and as we would like to spend most of our time there, this was a perfect location. The breakfast (includes) and dinner were wonderful, it was a blessed to enjoy the local meal in this nicely designed house.

Merci Christian pour votre gentil commentaire à propos de notre maison et du personnel qui en prend soin (ainsi que de vous) ; il est vrai que la maison est toute en hauteur mais il en est ainsi dans toutes les maisons de la Medina... Vous avez bien raison, vous êtes réellement au coeur de la Medina, dans l'authenticité même de Fes. Ravie en tous cas d'avoir pu communiquer avec vous et d'avoir pu vous permettre de passer une bonne semaine de repos Au plaisir !

Plush oasis at the center of Fez Old City
We love this comfortable 3-story riad with A/C, King and Queen size beds, and all the gorgeous decor, colors and textures of exotic Morocco. Best are the talented cook and efficient house manager that come with the house. Beware: low on closet space But other than that, every luxury you could ask for!

Voyage dans l'histoire
Passez quelques jours à Fez, c'est se plonger dans un autre monde, un monde inimaginable !!! Alors que la Médina vous ensorcelle et vous déconnecte complètement avec le 21iem siècle, le Dar vous émerveille, vous gâte et est aux petits soins pour leurs hôtes. La maison est décorée avec beaucoup de goût, dans le style du pays. Les chambres et salles de bain sont très confortables, le personnel est adorable et très efficace, et la cuisine délicieuse.

Merci Marie pour votre gentil commentaire.. en effet, passer quelques jours à Fes vous déconnecte complètement; ce fût un réel plaisir de vous accueillir vous et votre famille dans notre Dar.. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de votre visite !

Felt like at home in a middle age neighbourhood !
We had a wonderful stay in this house.. We were welcomed by the concierge and the cook, which is precious as getting around the medina is quite an experience for those who don't know it.. The house is so nice with all kind of small details that make the place lovely and comfortable. We loved the cook with typical moroccan food (tajines, couscous, pastilla and all kinds of salads) She cooked for us the whole day and when we were back from our touring, dinner was ready .. Neighbourhood is quite quiet although you can't miss the Muslims'calls to prayer...

About the neighbourhood
The house is in the hearth of the medina; to get to it with your luggage, you will need a carrossa ; which is a kind of cart that a man fills in with your luggage; he will lead you to the house.. Already quite an experience... The house is very special compared to other traditionnal houses (Dar) because it holds a lot of small windows, which a special atmosphere to it; indeed, 2 of our 4 exterior walls are not stuck between other houses.. Another thing that gives a lot of charm to the house, is the gallery that serves the rooms, it gives a colonial type of look.. The house is located next to several souks... So, easy shopping...
