Riad Laaroussa Fès: Traditional Charm and Hospitality in the Heart of the Medina
Riad Laaroussa is an ancient and majestic traditional house in Fès, meticulously restored to enhance its historical beauty, located in a quiet yet central area of the Medina. This riad is renowned for its warm hospitality and the ability to make guests feel like part of a Moroccan family, offering luxury expressed through simplicity and authenticity.
Refreshing Courtyards and Family Atmosphere
The riad is structured around two splendid internal courtyards, the larger one featuring a zellige wall fountain and the other a small pool, both adorned with orange trees that perfume the air. This design offers an oasis of coolness and calm, a pleasant contrast to the city's activity. The interiors feature original details in wood and wrought iron.
Charming Rooms and Suites with Unique Design
The rooms and suites are individually furnished, combining traditional aesthetics with modern comforts. Each room is a tribute to local craftsmanship, with embroidered fabrics, Berber carpets, and tadelakt walls. Many offer private seating areas where guests can relax after a day of exploring Fès's alleys.
Panoramic Terrace with Home-Style Cuisine
The rooftop terrace offers a spectacular view of the Medina, the Karaouiyine Mosque, and the surrounding hills. It is the perfect place for breakfast or intimate dinners. The riad's cuisine is celebrated for being authentic and home-style, with typical Moroccan dishes prepared daily by the riad's cook, using family recipes.
Hammam and Massages for a Wellness Ritual
Riad Laaroussa hosts a traditional hammam for a complete cleansing and relaxation experience, in addition to offering massages to relieve tension.
