Overview

This is a riad you don't share. Dar la Clé de la Medina, also known as Riad La Clé de la Medina, is let as an exclusive, whole-property rental, so a family or a group of friends gets every room, the courtyard and the roof to themselves.

The house is built round a courtyard with a plunge pool and planted garden areas, which keeps the centre of the building cool on hot days. Up on the roof, a terrace with lounge seating has panoramic views over the Medina. For cooler evenings there's a traditional Moroccan salon with a fireplace.

The rooms and suites are decorated with classic zellij tilework, and Wi-Fi and hospitality services are included in the stay.

Highlights

  • Exclusive rental of the entire riad
  • Courtyard plunge pool and garden
  • Rooftop terrace with lounge seating and panoramic views
  • Moroccan salon with a fireplace
  • Rooms and suites with zellij tilework
  • Wi-Fi and hospitality services included

Location

The property places the riad just moments from Jemaa El Fna, in the central Medina. That means the square, the souks and the Koutoubia are all on foot, which matters for a group that wants to split up during the day and meet back at the house.

No street address is published, so check the map on this page and arrange a meeting point with the hosts; with a group and luggage, it's worth asking about help from the nearest taxi drop-off.

Good to know

  • Because you book the whole riad, check the number of bedrooms and the maximum occupancy on the booking partner's page before you commit.
  • A plunge pool is for cooling off rather than swimming lengths.
  • Ask what the included 'hospitality services' cover, such as cleaning, breakfast or a cook, as the listing doesn't say.
