リヤド アル ファシア パレス

The artistry & quality of craftsmanship of this recently rebuilt Ryad are outstanding. It is breathtaking; a special experience. The owners, sons, & niece work as a great team to delight their guests at the Riad & at their nearby restaurant (food and service are excellent). Tip: Get precise instructions as to where your taxi driver should drop you off (closest gate into the Medina because there is a short walk to it; cars can’t enter). Get the Riad team to meet you at your taxi. We arrived on a Friday, day where the Medina is closed & several gates in the Medina were looked. We had no prior information on that. No WIFI. Our taxi driver showed us on his phone that it’s only an 8 mn walk and gave us wrong directions (he had dropped us off at the wrong gate although we had given him the correct address, mislead us, overcharged us-this is common). There are no street signs. A teenager offered his help but took us to the wrong Riad; he called a friend who got us to our Riad after an hour of walking through dirty streets rolling our luggage. They were genuinely kind, wanting to help tourists as it is tradition in the culture & honest; we are well travelled & usually avoid such situations. They got a big tip; the owner of the Riad warmly greeted us with amazing tea & cookies. Had booked 2 days before because another Riad cancelled on us due to double booking. The owner said he responded to my request for pick up & tel; to this day i didn’t get this message; was it lost by Expedia?

A splendid riad in the heart of Medina, and run by the most wonderful family. You feel at home away from your home. Parents, children, nieces and nephews pamper you the whole time. The family also has a Michelin level restaurant with authentic cuisine of Fes. I can’t wait to come back and stay there.

Where to begin with this hidden historical gem, preserved by the love of generational care. This stay is one of my most memorable international stays. It's concept of emersion in the culture and food ways creates an unforgettable experience. In old Medina Fes history enshrouds it's guest. There's an element of surprise that only the true traveler will experience.
