Company info

The two partners Ibrahim and Olivier joined their skills, the first in tourism and the second in the administrative to create a guest house. Their passion for history has helped them restore their prestige, their soul to the home. They are surrounded by Amal for the reception, H'nia for the kitchen and Latifa for the cleanliness.

Property info

The riad, former home of a famous "caïd" has been fully restored. It has all the modern comforts while keeping its old appearance. It is a real authentic riad. We welcome tourists and businessmen. Very nice panoramic view from the terrace. As it is a real riad, the openings all overlook the interior patio, there are no windows on the street, quiet guaranteed. Easy access, guarded parking at 100 meters.

Neighborhood info

The medina of Safi, a typical and authentic district, a district full of mysteries ... Walk safely the alleys, discover the dead ends, the multiple streets vaulted. Come and join this cheerful crowd, the squealing kids, a beggar, old pensives ... You will find everything in our neighborhood: around us the many shops where you can find everything: bazaars, grocery stores, clothes .. a little further the potters' quarter and on the other side of the banks, the post office etc ... As for the fishing port it is 5 minutes walk.
