Alex and Yasmin provided a beautiful experience. We stayed in the Rubis suite for five nights. The property itself is stunning and has many unique antiques throughout. The staff is excellent and catered to our every need. Alex arranged a guided tour of the Medina, as well as escorts to help us find restaurants in the evening. My wife enjoyed the cooking class with Fatima. We ate at the Riadh for breakfast and several dinners and all of the food was excellent. they are beautiful views of the Medina from the rooftop terrace and the restaurant especially at sunset. They have a relationship with the luxury hotel Palais Faraj we enjoyed Hamam annd massage experience at that hotel arranged by Yasmin as well.

Room was very clean, well appointed, comfortable. Food was excellent. House is converted private home, but the furnishings are all very appropriate to what would have been there - very well done. The owners (French/Moroccon) were wonderful - spoke English extremely well, were available every day, and bent over backwards to write down recommendations, show us the locations on a amp, etc., etc. Like any accommodations in the medinas, you need to arrange to have someone from the hotel/riad meet you to help with luggage.

Our stay at Riad Le Calife was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The service was truly exceptional — every member of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. They were incredibly helpful, friendly, and always ready with a warm smile or great advice about exploring Fez.

The food was outstanding — beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and served with care in a stunning setting. Breakfasts were a real highlight each morning!

The property itself is breathtaking — a beautifully restored riad that perfectly blends traditional Moroccan charm with modern comfort. Every corner feels elegant and peaceful, from the rooftop terrace to the courtyard and the rooms themselves.

The employees are lovely, and the owner Alex was incredibly kind. We had a great conversation with him about the Riads history, and Morocco itself, and appreciated the extra effort that we could tell he puts in for his guests.

The location itself is great as well. You owe it to yourself to have the welcome dinner; Chef Fatima is incredible. In our 12 days in Morocco, the two dinners that we had at the restaurant were our favorite meals. Not only is the food great, but the views of Fes from the restaurant are incredible as well.

Beautiful riad, tucked away in a side street. Slightly steep walk but fairly short from Cinema Amal (5 minutes).

Very tastefully done, great attention to detail. Friendly staff, helpful with recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. Fabulous views from rooftop, enjoyed evening sitting out.

Only feedback would be re breakfast. More choice needed eg with fruits and types of omelette and also bakery selection. A selection to self-serve would work well in the lovely rooftop restaurant.

It seems all the Riad‘s in Morocco are difficult to find and you cannot get dropped off at the door. So for the first time you need someone to show you the way. After that, it’s a piece of cake. This place was no exception in that I needed help finding it But for two dollars they helped me and also carried the luggage.

My husband and are still raving about our time at Riad Le Calife. We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful our experience was. The guest house is beautifully decorated with little vignettes set up everywhere you look. The styling is beautiful. I kept taking pictures to show my interior designer as I knew she would love everything about it and it would just make her happy to see. The location was also perfect. We loved being in the old medina, but loved that we were tucked away from fray.

Then there is the unbelievable hospitality of Alex and Yasmine. They take you in and take care of everything. Their joy of life, hosting, and sharing the love of their city is infectious. We found ourselves just wanting to be in their presence. We had them plan our various tours, and were thrilled with the results. They took care of everything.

They have trained their staff to take care of every detail and anticipate your every need. The food is also amazing. We ate so well. When the end of our time in Fes came we weren't ready to leave.

the perfect oasis in Fes

What a little gem in the middle of Fes!

It's my first time traveling to North Africa and to a Muslim predominant country, it was definitely an eye opening experience.

location - right in the heart of media and easily accessible by taxi from taxi aiport. The riad arranged airport transport at a very reasonable price, and the staff was waiting for us to help with the luggage when we arrive.

room - the room is very spacious and well appointed. It was better than the pictures on line, beautifully decorated with all the intricate Moroccan details. The bathroom is large, with separate shower and toilet, and a large bathtub. Super clean and comfortable, and well stock with all the amenities (slippers, bathrobe) that one need during vacation.

The riad itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated with all the antiquities the owner collected over the years.

Service - the service is impeccable. The riad owners Yasmin and Alex take such excellent care of the guests and make sure you have the best time in Fes. They help you with the itinerary and restaurant recommendations, walk through the map, and paid great attention to every detail of the stay.

There are only 7 rooms in the riad, so you really feel that the service is very personal. From the welcome mint tea on arrival, to the cookies in the room baked by the riad's chef, I felt very pampered by all the staff.

Value - great value, breakfast included, and much more comfortable than hotels.

If you are trapped in Fez might as well be here

(Disclaimer - anyone using Maps app be warned Riad shows up in two locations which are right next to each other so you run the risk of making infinite circles looking for it. Best to call Yasmine and wait for someone to come get you)
The Riad really is lovely. Yasmine is very polite & helpful; the cookies on arrival are what pastry dreams are made of and I would not even know where to begin to rave about the service. We had quite an unpleasant stay in Fez (sadly ... through NO fault of this Riad) but Yasmine was very thoughtful to follow up via email to make sure we got to the next destination along our route safely and were back to loving Morocco and having the time of our lives.
Our luggage was not just brought to our room - it was organized and carefully put away - the bag of cherries we picked up on the drive along the highway were waiting for us washed in a beautiful bowl on a table by the time we made it to the room - hats and scarves hanging in the closet ... every time we left the room we came back to it perfectly arranged back to an almost OCD level of neatness - something of which I could sing praises for days.
The rooftop is stunning. The restaurant was most charming.
Though not without it's faults - I could not get past the odd smell in the bathroom which I quickly figured out was mold growing in the shower. Being sensitive to smells it was quite bothersome for me personally. My advice - stay away from the blue room but definitely stay @ Riad Le Calife.

Yasmine and Alex our hosts could not have been nicer or more helpful. The dinner they had prepared for us our first evening there was to die for. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. I would definitely go back there next time we visit Fes

Classy, Caring Riad in the Heart of the Medina

Our stay at the Riad Le Calife was a lovely, special experience. Alexandre and Yasmine are wonderful hosts. They have really put their hearts into this place and it shows. It is beautifully decorated throughout, making a peaceful retreat from the craziness of the medina. They are also very good ambassadors and have a lot of knowledge and pride for their city and had endless recommendations for walks, sightseeing, eating, shopping. The entire staff was endlessly helpful and courteous. We had wanted to experience different restaurants in the 3 nights we were in Fes, and Alex had many great recommendations, but we had a hard time going outside of the Riad since meals at the Riad were so excellent. Kudos to everyone, especially Mohamed and Fatima. The room itself (we stayed in the Emerald Room) was fantastic. Large and comfortable. Lots of other places to hang out around the Riad as well, including terrace, bar, courtyard. The Riad is a little hard to find, so be sure to contact Alex prior to arrival and they will make sure everything is taken care of. In summary, I'm sure there are many nice Riad's to stay at in Fes, but it's hard to believe that you'll find one as peaceful and comfortable as Le Calife. My advice is to stay here and I promise you will feel lucky, as we do, that you have had such a wonderful experience during your travels.

Where to start. This is an exceptional place. It is so beautifully designed with every last detail in mind - from the little bar off the delightful courtyard to unwind after the day and play board games to the terrific music playlist to the rooftop breakfast room to the thoughtfully curated art pieces everywhere. Our room was lovely, charming, clean with very comfortable bed and pillows. But as beautiful as our surroundings were, the wondering hosts Alex and Yasmine and Riad team made our stay exceptional. They met us at the taxi, gave us a local phone to stay in contact, set us up with a terrific Medina tour guide, arranged a car to Casablanca for us. They called a restaurant and asked them to meet us so we wouldn't get lost and sent someone to walk us back from the square when we got back quite late. Alex greeted us with tea and cookies in the lobby when we first arrived and spent time orienting us to the layout of Fez and provided guidance on how to make the most of our stay. His love of his adopted city was infectious. We only wished we could have stayed longer. Truly best Riad in Morocco. And best couscous meal we had on our entire trip.

We had a great vacation in Fes, a big part due to our experience at Riad Le Calife. Not only is the facility impeccably restored and decorated, but the same level of attention was also paid to the quality of the experience by the staff. The rooftop lounge and restaurant have a amazing view of the Médina and hills surrounding the city and the dinner and breakfast up there are great. Last but not least, Alex and Yasmine went out of the way to make sure all of our excursions in the Médina and the neighboring towns were the best quality, including a great hammam and spa visit. They also provided an escort from the Riad to the nearby taxi stand even though it is not far or hard to find like many of the other Riads or Dars.

Wonderful stay

We stayed here for three days while touring Fez and the surrounding area. It was a wonderful stay, it greatly added to our enjoyment of our visit to Morocco and Fez. First, Yasmine and Alex were great hosts, they were very friendly and helpful, very attentive to our needs. The staff was also great. Second, the riad is beautifully decorated, breakfast and dinners on the roof were great, an awesome view of old Fez. Because each day was a long day of touring, it was very nice to end the day with dinner in the riad, the food was excellent, it was a nice calm and relaxing separation from the hectic old city.

Beautiful Riad and great people.

The decor in this Riad is beautiful. It is in a very convenient location just inside the Riad. We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with the lovely Fatima - thanks for the recipes to bring back home! Really can’t fault anything but a special mention to Yasmine and Alex who go out of their way to ensure your stay is a happy one. Outstanding hospitality!

The best of the best

The Riad Le Calife is not a five star hotel but rather, if possible, I would classify it as a six star accommodation. From the very start of your arrival, the riad, provides customer service which is beyond expectations. The difference between checking into our riad in Marrakech and Le Calife were like day and night. First, our driver contacted the riad as we approached Fes. When we arrived, the riad sent someone to meet us outside the medina wall to help us with our luggage and direct us to the riad. Upon entering the riad, you are immediately met with a level of detail that surpasses anything I have ever experienced. The riad is decorated with well appointed antiques arranged meticulously. The court yard is spotless with a beautiful fountain surrounded by shady trees and multiple tables and chairs for the riad’s clients.

The rooms, like the common areas are well decorated. A fresh fruit basket ( apple, orange and bananas ) as well as bottled water are provided daily. The bathroom is well equipped with hair dryer, toiletries, big fluffy towels, Q-tips, makeup-mirror,etc. There is a flat panel TV attached to the wall to allow for background music or a quick update on news. A mini bar and refrigerator are available. The bed is very comfortable ( which was such a treat having come from the desert ). Beautiful stained glass windows open up into the courtyard. The attention to detail is what makes this a riad beyond 5 stars.

Amazing Experience

My favorite phrase from Fes \"The best things are hidden\" Riad Le Calife exemplifies this. The high, plain stone Medina walls hide a true gem that exceeded all expectations. A blend of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with Old Europe chic, every space invites you to linger and appreciate.
But the heart and life is Yasmine, Alex and the wonderful staff that make you feel like valued family.
Upon booking they reached out with information and offers of assistance. They arranged for our initial pickup, a driver for Meknes, Volubilis, & Moulay Idriss. and a guide through Fes, all at great value. Then you arrive and receive a genuine greeting, a phone if needed, excellent recommendations. offers of assistance, with cookies and tea. Want to return ASAP
A highlight was the cooking lass with Fatima. Our only regret was not enjoying more of her meals.

Lovely riad, outstanding hospitality

This riad is made very special by the outstanding commitment to guest service and sheer enthusiasm of Alex, along with charming Yasmine and the excellent staff. Being on the edge of the old medina, just a short walk down a passage leads to a square and main street, from which access to the top end of the medina is possible, and also to the other end at Bab Boujeloud if you have a decent map plus GPS.

Awesome Riad!

My daughter and I stayed at Riad Le Calife in March. This is without a doubt the best place to be in Fez. The location is perfect...right in the Medina but tucked away just enough from the hustle and bustle so that you can enjoy some quiet time. Our room was beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff was polite and friendly. The food, which is prepared by their wonderful cook Fatima was delicious. We took advantage of the cooking class that they offer...so worth it! The owners (Alexandre and Yasmine) bent over backwards to make our stay perfect. I definitely recommend the Riad Le Calife, it was the best place in all of Morocco!

An excellent choice

The riad is truly stunning. Beautifully decorated and maintained. We used the riad's kitchen for each breakfast and one dinner and it was excellent. The riad arranged for us to be picked up at the airport, made reservations for dinner and arranged a half day tour of the medina. Couldn't have been happier with the experience.

LOVED OUR STAY

We loved our stay at Riad Le Calife!!! Really wonderful owners, Yasmine and Alex were super helpful and kind, the chef Fatima's food at dining room is one of a kind! All the staff there go above and beyond and they are all friendly and helpful. We totally recommend to eat dinner at their dining room rather than restaurant outside of the riad- Fatima's food is the most memorable and delicious during our trip of Morocco (We traveled from Marrakech to Fez so we had enough food to compare, trust me!) We ended up eating at this Riad the entire stay while we were in Fes. The location is great and easy to navigate. Only regret is we did not take Fatima's cooking class and spa! But always next time!!! We will definitely recommend Riad Le Calife for everyone and we will come back to stay again!
