Riad Laurence Olivier

Spectacular beautiful Riad. The Riad was a museum of items of art and culture. We were fortunate to have booked a suite which was an absolute delight. The ambience and calm of the Riad is created by the place, the people working who made us feel more like family and the birds and tortoise's created the background. All was as described on the description, with a traditional breakfast being served in the beautiful jasmine and bougainvillea lined walls. Room cleaned every day. Hot and cold soft drinks available on request. Towls available poolside. WiFi throughout including terraces. Special mention to the host staff Mohammad and Simone who with notice arrange your hearts desire which for us was a tajine cooking lesson which was an absolute delight. The Riad roof terraces were a favourite haunt especially for the sunrise and sunset with 360 views across the roofs to the mountains that seem to surround the Medina. Truly magical. The location was near enough to the main soukes and squares but far enough to enjoy the peace within the riad. The greatest thing by far was the happiness and laughter from the staff as they went along there day's work which was for Mohammed who seemed to be available 24/7 and always with a smile. Youseff who was so gracious and polite. Would highly recommend asking for the hotel to arrange airport transfer, once at riad a city map is provided with direct routes marked and other tips for your stay. Peaceful and well located allowing you to gain a real insight to Marrakech life as you wander around this amazing Medina.
