Dar Sghira: Private fully Renovated Small Riad, Rooftop, Heart of Medina, Fiber

We had a lovely 2-week stay in Dar Sghira as a family of four. The house was well-equipped with sufficient linens, towels, and kitchen supplies, plus lots of guide books and maps to review. Our young sons especially enjoyed the experience of staying in such a unique, historic house. The mini-splits in the bedrooms kept us all comfortable during the chilly January nights. The weather was a bit too cool and rainy to take full advantage of the private rooftop terrace, but it seems like a great, bonus living space during in other seasons. Laurent was a great communicator and made sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. The home's location is convenient for exploring the Medina, though be prepared to wander and get lost as it’s part of the fun!

We loved the house and the location in the heart of the medina. The weather was a little cooler than we expected, and we all caught colds, but having Fatima, the wonderful chef, bring us warm dinners and breakfasts when asked was so nice. Heat in the individual rooms was fine, but we weren't quite prepared to spend a lot of time in the central area. Overall, the house was beautiful and clean, Oustad helped us get in and out of Fez whenever asked, Fatima was great, being in the medina rather than a tourist area was perfect, and we'd come back in a minute

We enjoyed our few nights in this Riad. Ousted was very helpful with our stay. He organized porters, a tour and breakfasts and was very responsive to our questions. We were comfortable during our stay. The 3rd bedroom is creative.The laundry and the rooftop patio were a bonus. Wifi is limited to main floor but still good. Would stay again!

The best place in Fes, we can imagine: the historic riad, finest ornaments with high competition renovated in extraordinanry charming rooms, a beautiful roof terrace with a magnificent view creates a perfect place to be - and to be for some days part of this beautiful city! The introduction and warmest welcome of Oustad guaranted a perfect stay - best place in Fes, we can imagine! Thomas Kohl

Our stay in Fes was brief, too brief, but it was the highlight of our trip across southern Spain to Morocco and then France. The Dar Sghira house proved to be the perfect place for us to unwind from the excitement and fatigue of travel and of exploring the medina. We were very comfortable there. I especially enjoyed the view from the rooftop patio. Our guide Mohamed shepherded us around the city and to several artisanal cooperatives to see artists at work with textiles, leather, fragrances, ceramics, etc. He was an excellent companion and gave us a wealth of information, matching the level of our interest in history. We got a keen sense of the medina as a living community, not just a museum, even though it has such a storied past. We chose to have multiple meals prepared by Fatima to eat in the home, and we took a cooking class with her, which was enjoyable (and rewarding!). She also helped us with the arrangements for the hammam. We were grateful for all she did.

My sister and really enjoyed our staying at the house , everything was fine . Oustad our host was very helpful and available all the time . The house is beautifully decorated and the terrace has an amazing view . The situation is right in the heart of the Medina. Thank you

A great spot in an amazing city. The apartment is apparently at least 300 years old, and has a huge amount of character. And an amazing view from a terrace. It's an incredible spot. As with anything in Fez, there are stairs. Also the Medina does not allow cars, and the apartment is near the heart of Medina, so it does involve considerable walking to get there. But the host Oustad will meet you at the parking lot outside the Medina gates with a cart for your luggage, and show you all the ropes. Fatima also made some amazing local meals for us, she was a great cook. All in all a 5 star experience!

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!

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.

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.
