Riad Jardin Lea.

A comfortable riad with friendly staff.

Riad Lea is a traditional mid priced riad only 10 minutes walk away from the main square.

There are 5 suites, and they are authentically Moroccan and comfortable with all the amenities available for a pleasant stay in the medina.

The courtyard is peaceful with the sound of birds singing as you sit having breakfast in the morning.

It’s a quiet, relaxing setting away from the busy touristy area, yet only a short walk away from all the action.

The rooftop is a great place for a spot of sunbathing, and there is also a jacuzzi, which is clean and well looked after.

The staff at Riad Lea are friendly and attentive.

They even offered me some of their food whilst they were breaking their fast during Ramadan.

It’s these little gestures that make a traditional riad such a charming place to stay.

There are more modern luxury riads than riad Lea, but it’s the personal touches that stand out for me.

The staff at Riad Lea made sure that their guests felt comfortable and happy.

There was a nice, calm atmosphere in the riad, and everyone seemed to be happy.

Reaching the riad was like heading down a hobbit hole through the narrow winding alleyway.

The doorway was not made for tall people, but once you got used to it, you soon remembered to duck.

This is typical of most riads in the medina and part of their charm.

The breakfast at Riad Lea was a typical Morroccan breakfast, a mixture of sweet and savoury food.

I loved their homemade yoghurt and msemen pancakes.

The walk to the main square is enjoyable, passing by lots of interesting little shops and restaurants along the way.

I enjoyed my stay at Riad Lea. It’s not a fancy 5 star accommodation, but it’s good value for money.

It was clean and comfortable, and the staff were a credit to the riad.
