Riad Farnatchi

An amazing welcome, a beautiful room and great service. Le Farnatchi exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. The superior suite was huge, with a supremely comfortable bed and great bathroom.

Really charming original old Riad in a very quiet off street and only minutes walk to spice markets etc. Huge room/suite, beautiful pool in the centre open to the sky. A beautiful second courtyard is silent and serene with a little dinning room off it and walkway through to the Spa . The roof top for breakfast is a must! I was a solo traveller and felt very comfortable and well catered for by all the staff who also walked with me everywhere.

Would of been good to have fresh Gluten free toast for breakfast.

Arriving in Marrakesh for the first time with the heat, drama, noise and commotion of the Medina can be overwhelming. But with a complimentary car from he airport and one of the porters from Le Farnatchi to meet you in the square on arrival, all of the stress disappears. We received a lovely welcome from James, the owner, on arrival at the riad and as soon as we stepped through the front door it was like being transported into an oasis with the only sound being the soft trickling of water from the pool in the main courtyard. The location is incredible - a short walk from popular locations such as Le Jardin Secret and its neighbour Le Jardin (a great spot for lunch), stacks of great museums and right amongst the souks. The team at Farnatchi led by Waleed and Murat were absolutely amazing. They were full of excellent suggestions and eager to assist in any way possible arranging guides, dinners, spa treatments and (most importantly) reliable and fixed-price transport for when leaving the Medina. Our room was stunning and included a sitting room with fireplace (not that it was needed), private roof terrace (where we had breakfast each morning) and a fantastic bathroom with large bronze tub and mosaic tiled walk-in shower. The pool was the perfect temperature for cooling off in the post-lunch heat and the staff were quick to provide you towels, robes and endless amounts of mint tea. We would recommend having a drink on the main rooftop in the evening to catch the sun setting over the riads and mosques of the city. This was a perfect introduction to a new country and we loved our three nights at Le Farnatchi. We would recommend this riad to any one looking to visit Marrakesh.

Le Farnatchi was exceptional! The staff were extremely caring, friendly always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a magical experience in Marrakesh I would recommend Le Farnatchi

Breakfast is unbelievable , French Press coffee , eggs, everything hit, fresh !

We had a large suite , but no luggage racks??? Nowhere to put your suitcase other than the floor!
