Relaxation in Riads
Many people choose to stay in riads, old Moroccan houses converted into boutique hotels. These often offer an oasis of tranquility in the middle of the city, with interior courtyards, scenic terraces and personalized service.
Speaking of riads, I chose one that stands out for its pleasant ambience and service. In fact, we could call it the epitome of Moroccan style. I'm talking about Riad Yamina 52, an elegant and cozy house with 10 spacious rooms, located in the heart of Marrakech's Medina. A place of total relaxation, where only the chirping of birds can be heard, just a five-minute walk from the lively and magical Jemaa El Fna Square.
Guests are immediately captivated by the scents, colors, and luxury of the spaces, from the blue tadelakt main entrance with its lantern-studded ceiling, to the small courtyard with fountain of the Essalam property, to the main Yamina courtyard with swimming pool and orange trees, a perfect place to relax while sipping a glass of mint tea.
Nothing is out of place; everything is studied down to the smallest detail to take guests inside a story from 'The Arabian Nights.' In fact, details are one of the things guests appreciate most about Riad Yamina: each room is different from the other and has something that characterizes it, making it unique. But the real exclusivity of this place lies in the service; the warmth and helpfulness of the staff is truly impressive.
Breakfast is served around the central courtyard, as are lunch and dinner upon request. The cuisine at Riad Yamina 52 stands out both in terms of quality and the atmosphere in the evening, when soft lights illuminate only a few corners of the house.
Hospitality, comfort, beauty, cleanliness, and good food combine perfectly at Riad Yamina 52, and at the end of your stay you will feel like you are leaving home.
