Property info

Our Riad or more exactly Dar, which means house in Arabic, is a haven of peace that only the rumour of the surrounding life sometimes penetrates. The living rooms, arranged on two levels, open around a large patio, a real skylight decorated with plants and a magnificent pool dedicated to well-being. On the terrace there is a relaxing atmosphere. The sunbathing, the Moroccan benches sheltered under their protective veils, are a real invitation to a delicious laziness. Why not a night under the stars? The first floor is dedicated to the rooms since there are five of the six rooms in our house. The sixth is on the ground floor and can accommodate people with reduced mobility. Without being a specific room, its modular layout and wide passages allow our disabled guests to fully enjoy the premises. The accesses from the car park to the interior of our house are equipped with inclined planes allowing a wheelchair to pass without great difficulty.

Neighborhood info

Just a few steps from Riad Dar Alif, the famous Place des Ferblantiers invites you to discover an authentic side of Marrakech. Beautifully renovated in 2016, this charming square offers a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by palm trees, pergolas, and traditional artisan shops. Beneath the shade of a majestic eucalyptus tree, local craftsmen continue their ancestral art, creating lanterns, trays, and unique handmade objects. The square is perfect for strolling, browsing, and enjoying the relaxed rhythm of the neighborhood. A few cafés nearby offer the ideal spot for a break while admiring the storks flying above the walls of Palais El Badi. Just around the corner, the historic Mellah welcomes visitors with its jewelers’ market and colorful spice souk. Staying at Riad Dar Alif means experiencing Marrakech through its culture, craftsmanship, and authentic local life.
