Reps Opinion
Riads are the total Morrocan experience and always situated within the walled medina with its souks and markets. The streets are winding and cobbled therefore the transfer vehicles will get as close as possible and some walking may be necessary. Riads are small properties and family run, the staff are there to offer assistance and advice along with our free resort representatives. The bonus of Riads is the ability to request specific Morrocan meals (in advance) which will be home cooked to order and taken either in a traditional salon or possibly on the rooftop terraces. Riads are peaceful havens and very contrasting to the hustle and bustle of the Medina areas and are suited to couples, single travellers and families with older children, they may contain steps or narrow stairwells and the medina pathways are normally uneven and may not suit customers with walking difficulties or mobility problems. It must be noted that Riads are not hotels ? they are private residences and more intimate and traditional in their concept than a chain hotel. The Riad Amsaffah is a well maintained yet older property and suitable for customers looking for a great base from which to explore the medina at pocket friendly prices. If guests want to glimpse a taste of Morroco then these properties are a must!
