Guests can also unwind in the sauna, with a massage or spa treatment. The chef and his team use fresh produces and vegetables from the market. The house specialties include the lamb tagine with prunes or the leg of lamb tagine, both a true delight.

Lunch, a light meal with Mediterranean notes, is served on the panoramic terraces or poolside. The evening meal can be enjoyed in an intimate and refined atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a dinner full of flavours in the hall, on the patios or again on the terraces.

The lounge bar offers a wide choice of cocktails, tapas, malt whiskeys, cognac and a selection of cigars. The restaurant is reserved for residents of the riad.

Nul

suite junior réservée avec terrasse et vue piscine, mais n’en fait aucune suite junior ne dispose de terrasse ni de vie piscine! La direction de l’hôtel - quand nous les avons-nous informés - nous a remercié de les avoir prévenus de cette “erreur” .. aucun geste commercial. Par ailleurs sur les 2 piscines une n’est pas entretenue, l’hôtel semble spécialisé dans les groupes , c’est bruyant et sans aucun charme.
