Riad Ta'Achchaqa

( 5 stars , Marrakech , Morocco )

An authentic riad located in a peaceful historic district, from which the entire rose-red city is accessible by foot.From the heart of Marrakech, the Djemma al Fna, you follow a lane that escapes from the colourful souqs (bazaars) through a labyrinth of alleyways full of enticing entrances to hidden hideaways. The hustle and bustle of the square ceases as you wind your way to the riad’s entrance at the end of the lane. There, in the quiet, historic residential district, you will find an enchanting house lovingly restored with respect to the traditional Moroccan style, yet with all the modern conveniences.Inside the riad there are five beautifully decorated ensuite guestrooms spread over two levels, surrounding a courtyard with a central calming water feature, dining tables and chairs, and an open study/sitting room with a huge fireplace for cooler evenings. On the first floor there is a summer sitting room with settees adorned with colourful Moroccan cushions. Above that is the open-air roof terrace where a continental breakfast is served daily; there is also a hammam (steamroom) and hot and cold tub.
