Dar Arsama

The Full Fes Experience at Dar ArsamaWe stayed three wonderful nights immersed deep in the Fes Medina. As an experience it was similar to the best we have had when we stay in a small bed & breakfast.Three features of our stay made it especially pleasant and rewarding:1. This is a 400-year-old building that the owners have personally beautifully restored. The updating maintained the ambiance of a comfortable Moroccan house.2. Our hosts and the location made the Medina work for us.a. The host met us on arrival at the main "blue" gate and escorted us to Dar Arsama. While it is deep in the Medina, it is located just off a main "street" and we had no trouble leaving and returning to it on our own.b. The Dar offers home made evening meals that are excellent and reasonably priced. We did this two nights and wished we had done that on the third night.c. Our host recommended an excellent guide who showed us the Medina and Fes.3. As is true with most B&Bs we have enjoyed, the opportunity to get to know the owners adds much to the experience. We definitely enjoyed talking with the owners (Violeta and her husband) and the other guests.Cleanliness was impeccable. Breakfasts were very good and served in the roof-top garden. WiFi bandwidth was also very good. An excellent value for the money!
