Loved by Riad Zahra guests
"It was a beautiful place - very clean and comfortable, the pool and surrounding area included."
"This beautiful riad is situated one block away from the beach and 15 minutes walk from the medina making it a beautiful, quiet and peaceful oasis of calm."
"Tranquil, spacious Riad with nice looking pool sheltered from the wind."
"This is a lovely typically Moroccan Riad although I believe it is owned and run by a Spanish family."
"The riad was conveniently close to the beach front, and not too far from the medina."
