Rooms

The decadent bedrooms are on the first floor, and in typical riad style all windows and doors face onto the central courtyard. Decor-wise, they are very similar: curved tadelakt walls, terracotta floors, old Moroccan Bejmat tiles, sumptuous velvet cushions and voile curtains, beaded hangers, silk-chiffon artwork. Colour schemes are autumnal (conker-brown, pumpkin, sienna, amber), beds are handcrafted by the King's official bedmaker and the Egyptian cotton sheets are magnificent. Ensuite bathrooms are proper wet rooms with vast walk-in showers and deep baths, and are generously stocked with local organic toiletries and quirky rubber ducks.

Suite 1 (the Master Suite) is the largest, with a high ceiling and silk-wrapped chandelier, polished plaster fireplace surrounded by velvet banquette, and an enormous bed.

The other rooms feel cosier: Rooms 5 and 6 are located at the end of the walkway and both have queensize beds; Room 3 can hold an additional single bed; Room 5 is the only twin; Room 6 has a shower not a bath, but this is compensated by its kingsized bed. All have A/C, minibars, safes and hairdryers. Lighting is ambiant: at turndown, the beds are lit from below and sprinkled with rose petals. Gadget junkies will love the mobile phone loaded with useful numbers and €5 credit, the pre-loaded iPod (music and videos of local restaurants), and the chill-out music that plays throughout the riad. The controls for the music system are near the door.
