Koud, smerig en donker huis. Harde bedden, een klein dakterras waar de vele zwerfkatten hun behoefte doen, lichtknoppen zwart van de viezigheid, plakkerige deurklinken, dikke lagen stof overal, kapotte pannen, stinkende toiletten. Onze contactpersonen aldaar waren Fatima en Mohamed. De maaltijden van Fatima werden ons warm aanbevolen door verhuurster. Maar voor hetzelfde geld aten wij vele malen beter in een nabij gelegen Riad (Dar Bensouda: voortreffelijk!) Mohamed bleek een gesjeesde zakenman. Rekent hoge tarieven voor de transfer en rondleidingen. Autoritair naar zijn medewerkers, zoals de chauffeur die ons van het vliegveld op kwam halen. Een vriendelijke jongen van rond de 20 jaar die flink op zijn nummer werd gezet door Mohamed toen hij op ons verzoek uitgebreid over zijn studie vertelde. Ongemakkelijke situatie. Slechte service, slechte woning, wat een afknapper. Beslist geen aanrader!

In nur 3,5 Flugstunden ist man in einer anderen Welt. Wir schließen uns den Vorrednern an - das Riad ist sehr schön und Fes ist eine spannende Stadt. Um sich in der Medina zurecht zu finden, fanden wir die App Maps.me sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit

Dar Sghira is a lovely house with lots of character and charm! It was comfortable and clean, and we loved all of the gorgeous decor. The rooftop terrace was lovely as well! We had Fátima prepare breakfast for us, and wow!!! It was enough to feed an army, and delicious! Everyone was kind and helpful, and we really enjoyed our stay!

Nous venons de passer une très belle semaine dans le Dar Sghira. L'accueil de Mohamed est très chaleureux et il est toujours disponible et efficace quand on a besoin de lui. C'est vraiment un "facilitateur" de voyage inégalable. Nous avons également eu le plaisir de goûter au tajine, au couscous et au petit déjeuner de Fatima (délicieux et copieux à la fois). Bref l'authenticité du Dar allié à la gentillesse et l'efficacité de Mohamed et Fatima ont fait de ce séjour une belle immersion dans la Médina de Fès.

We had a great stay in this Riad. Mohamed was very helpful. Fatima cooked us up a fabulous meal on our first night making us feel welcome and grateful as we were very hungry! The house is very exotic and charming. Would definitely stay there again.

Mooi huis op een goed bereikbare plek! Lekker veel kleine hoekjes en leuke details. Fatima heeft heerlijk eten bereid, dus dat is zeker een aanrader :-)

Maison située en plein centre de la médina. Accueil très professionnel et néanmoins chaleureux de Mohamed qui fait tout ce qu'il faut pour vous rendre la vie agréable. Merci encore à lui ! Le dar est confortable et "véridique", mais il n'est pas adapté aux personnes ayant des difficultés de déplacement, car les escaliers sont rudes et les marches très hautes. On se sent vraiment au Maroc dans le Dar Sghira.

This house was great. It felt cozy and lived in which made us comfortable. Isabelle arranged for someone to pick us up at the airport, and then Muhammad met us at the R'cif gate into the old city and guided us to our house. He was very helpful and happy to give any advice that we needed. The house itself is very unique, and it lets you really feel like you are staying in a part of the extensive history of Fez. I would highly recommend printing out all of the maps that Isabelle emails, they were very helpful to find our way back. The old city of Fez is an absolute maze, you will get lost. Getting lost is half of the fun. Don't worry though, there are plenty of people that will guide you back to the R'cif gate for a few coins. I loved taking advantage of the terrace; beautiful views overlooking the city. My only qualms have nothing to do with the the property, but more the city in general. When walking back to the house we were constantly being told that we were going the wrong way because there were only house in that direction, and that they could guide us to our riad. The neighborhood kids also found us to be quite the novelty and would knock on our door and try to come on to our terrace to talk. They were just curious though. Even not being able to speak their language, I was able to get them to leave off. Ultimately, we had a great time staying at this house, it certainly made us feel like we were not just tourists but travelers.

Unsere Unterkunft vermittelte einen authentischen Eindruck vom Leben in der Altstadt von Fes. Die Wohnung erstreckte ich über mehrere Etagen um einen zentralen Innenhof und war zweckmäßig ausgestattet. Fatima bereitete auf unseren Wunsch das Frühstück und kochte das Abendessen. Dadurch bekamen wir auch einen guten Einblick in die marokkanische Küche, mussten uns aber erst an die Mengen, die sie hervorzauberte, erst einmal gewöhnen. Die Lage ist sehr zentral, so dass man fußläufig alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichen kann. Wer wie wir, mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, findet am Rande der Medina einen kostengünstigen, bewachten Parkplatz.

riad fabuleuse , acceuil avec avec fatima chaleureuse et rayonnante , les petits déjeuners sont genereux et copieux; la maison est spacieuse calme et fonctionnelle adresse à retenir on reviendra

Voor wie een traditionele woning midden in de medina zoekt is dit sfeervolle huis zeer geschikt. Wel moet gezegd worden dat de trappen smal zijn en absoluut niet geschikt voor mensen die minder goed ter been zijn. Ook kan de ligging midden in de nauwe steegjes voor sommigen niet prettig zijn. Wij vonden dat overigens geen probleem. Wel behoeft het huis zichtbaar enig onderhoud en zou er beter schoongemaakt moeten worden. Al met al was ons verblijf zeer prettig.

Fantastic oasis in the heart of the medina, great private place to stay with roof terrace to enjoy the late evenings. Both Mehdi and Fatima were great, the food Fatima prepared was the best I tasted while there for the week and Mehdi was very helpful with information about the area and both were always on hand if we needed them. Really enjoyed our stay and if we come back would not hesitate staying here again.

The riad is very pretty, well located in the Fes medina. We enjoyed our breakfast on the roof terrasse, the space and "home feeling" of the place. We were worried to be cold in the house because it was february but not at all! We had a lovely week.

"We had a very nice stay in the house. It was very charming and beautifully decorated. It was clean and very quiet. The house was like an oasis of peace amidst the chaos of the medina!"
