Riad Assakina is a beautiful, light and spacious riad, ideally situated in the historic 'Mellah', the ancient Jewish quarter of the Medina.

It directly overlooks the famous Bahia Palace; and is within an easy stroll of the city's other famous attractions. It is also well placed for enjoying some of Marrakech's finest restaurants and bars.

The Riad subtly blends the best of local tradition, materials and craftsmanship with all the refinements of a bespoke private residence.

Purest quality cotton linen and fresh flowers are provided in every room, together with many other little luxuries. All suites also have their own sitting area, complete with satellite TV.

"With so many riads to choose from, we were delighted that we picked Assakina. Stylish, yet authentic decor gave us the 'wow' factor, offering tranquility amongst the mayhem of the medina."

Marc & Jodie, London

"A little bit of Heaven!!! Thank you."

Theresa, Essex

"After only 3 days away, we feel like we've been gone two weeks! We had such a lovely relaxing stay at the Riad and hope to be back sooner rather than later. Thanks for all your advice on where to shop, where to eat and how to spend our time. Thanks also for the little things that made us feel so pampered and well taken care of - fruit every day, tea on the roof, tours of the souk...Thanks for everything!"

Rivanna & Nadine, London

"We feel so lucky to have trawled through numerous riads on the internet and to have picked what we're sure must be one of the very best! We love everything about the place- the decor is absolutely stunning with such exquisite attention to detail, the terrace is so romantic and the team are all such lovely people. You have made us feel that nothing is too much trouble and that you genuinely care about us."

Alistair & Marielle, Buckinghamshire

"A friend and I stayed here for four nights and had a totally fabulous time - we really couldn't fault it...The inclusive breakfast was sumptuous - a huge selection, including freshly squeezed melon and peach juices, cooked breakfast, local pastries and more."

Carole, Herts
