"Les Jardins de la Medina was an exquisite riad--elegant, relaxing, friendly, and comfortable. The rooms were fabulous, with truly beautiful Moroccan decor, and the large pool in the garden provided a perfect way to cool down after a day in the medina. Next time I would love to take one of the Moroccan cooking classes they offer. We were traveling with our teenage son and daughter and we all loved it. Would definitely stay there next time we are in Marrakech--highly recommended."

This is the time to treat yourself ! The largest private garden with a swimming pool heated to 26C ° in the heart of one of the most beautiful riads in Marrakech

"Had a wonderful 4 days here. An Oasis of calm in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. You can walk everywhere within the Medina from here but taxi's are cheap and plentiful when required. The Staff and facilities were excellent. Beautiful rooms, pool immaculate, restaurant food consistently very good. Lovely place to stay and worth the extra cost."

Al Maqam : The Artist’s village

In the small village of Tahanaout ,which nestles in a green valley planted with olive groves, on the road to Taroudant, the painter Mohamed Mourabiti has built his house and installed a lovely artist’s residence. Well known Moroccan painters, such as Mahia Binebine and Yamou come to paint at his workshops in studios open to nature, but the residence is also open to lesser-known artists from Morocco and around the world, for whom some rooms have been built around a pretty swimming pool. The place certainly seems to be conducive to inspiration; it exudes a special charm, is designed with taste and simplicity and in the image of the person who conceived it. Visitors come from Marrakech for lunch and to enjoy this unique place, tucked away in the countryside, far from the tourist trails. Al Maqam, is also a literary café where cultural events and exhibitions are organised, but also a library/bookshop full of books on Moroccan painting. If you are interested in contemporary Morocccan art, this is the place is for you!  Another interesting feature of this Al Maqam: its tasty traditional Moroccan cuisine which is reasonably priced and served in the garden or in one of the salons……

Aïcha reigns over the Square !

You can’t miss Stand no.1 on the Place Jemaâ el Fna. Firstly because it’s the biggest, secondly because it’s run by a woman ! Coming from a Moroccan family from Derb Dabachi, Aïcha boldly opened a little mobile stall there almost 30 years ago… Offering just omelettes, potatoes and mint tea…..at that time, the Square was a place of relaxation for  Moroccans of the neighbourhood and from the countryside, for those who came to negotiate in the souks and sleep in the foundouks ( inns)…. The stall grew bigger, the Jemaâ el Fna became a ‘must see’ and ‘Chez Aïcha’ a must eat’ ! This self-taught cook very quickly managed to expand her business and to become one of the most reputed of those listed in the Rough Guide, the Lonely Planet, Tripadvisor…..Although omlettes are still on the menu, these days we visit Aïcha mainly for her couscous,  her grilled meats and her Tangia ! As for the waiters, what can you say, they’re fast and smiling ; somewhat boastful and even multilingual, working under the sharp eye of Aïcha who watches over her fifteen employees (up to 20 in high season) from her control tower….. Her biggest dream ? ‘To one day manage a very large restaurant,  here or abroad,  why not !’ A cuisine to taste, a character to meet….. Wow ! Why not, Aïcha, as Chef at Les Jardins de la Medina for an evening ?
