Exceptional! 10/10! Our first Riad experience could not have been better! The property is absolutely stunning, with every detail thoughtfully considered. Yasmine and Alex are the most wonderful hosts—warm, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond at every turn.The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, and we loved spending our evenings playing cards on the rooftop. They also arranged fantastic excursions for us, making our stay truly effortless. This Riad is a magical place, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention we received. Highly recommend!

Location is perfect in the Medina, and yet still away from the majority of noise and hustle and bustle. The staff are absolutely amazing, kind hearted and no request is too small. Laundry was given and returned in 3 hours as we were leaving the next day. The Riad itself is picturesque and we spent a day just relaxing on the rooftop and the wonderful courtyard. We met the owner Yasmine, who was so helpful and knowledgeable on restaurants, spas, guiding us through the Medina. We actually had our favourite meal on day one of our trip to Fes, from a restaurant suggested by her. She made our experience here one of the best, my husband declared it the best Riad in Morocco! She has thought of it all, even a full length mirror in the rooms which we haven't noticed at any other location. We stayed in the Opulence room which had a view of the courtyard and one flight of stairs away from the rooftop! Thank you team for our enjoyable and relaxing stay!

Our stay at Riad Le Calife in Fes was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with Moroccan hospitality and mint tea. The owner and staff team were exceptionally kind, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. The riad itself is a beautifully restored gem, with stunning traditional architecture, peaceful courtyards, and a rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views of the medina. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was fresh and delicious each morning. The location is perfect for exploring the heart of Fes. We felt completely at home and highly recommend this riad to everyone.

A Jewel in the Heart of Fes – So Much More Than Just a Riad. We recently spent a delightful few days at Riad Le Calife, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is not simply accommodation – it is an experience in itself, curated with warmth, care and genuine passion by Alex and Yasmine, the charming proprietors. Their attention to detail is evident in every corner of the riad – not only in its beautifully restored interiors but also in their thoughtful approach to hospitality. Alex and Yasmine are true ambassadors for their city. Their enthusiasm for Fes is infectious, and they take great pride in ensuring that each guest experiences the very best the city has to offer. From useful maps and insider tips to restaurant recommendations and personalised itineraries, we felt gently guided rather than ‘touristed’, which made all the difference. A word of advice – do take up their offer of arranging an airport transfer. The riad is nestled deep within the medina’s winding alleys, and arriving without assistance would have been quite the ordeal. Instead, we were met punctually and brought smoothly to the doorstep, stress-free. We stayed in the Azure Room, which was beautifully appointed – tasteful, serene and impeccably clean. The bed was firm and very comfortable, with shutters that allowed for a proper lie-in, blocking out the early morning light. The bathroom was a real treat, with a spacious, powerful shower and elegant fittings. The courtyard offers a peaceful haven from the city’s bustle – leafy, and cool. The restaurant, overlooking the city is a perfect place to enjoy the generous inclusive breakfast. Fatima, the resident cook, also prepared a traditional Moroccan supper for us – wonderfully flavoured and home-cooked with evident love. We must also mention Saed, who helped guide us through our visit with a calm and reassuring presence – ever helpful, always smiling. Mohamed looked after us with kindness and quiet efficiency, and it was clear that the entire team shares the owners’ ethos of authentic, attentive hospitality. Upstairs, the rooftop terrace offers panoramic views over Fes, while the cosy bar area provides a relaxed space to unwind with a pre-dinner drink or nightcap. Riad Le Calife is far more than a conventional riad – it is a place that understands the value of travel and travellers. There is a sense of being genuinely welcomed, not just accommodated. This is a riad with heart, run by people who truly care. We wouldn’t hesitate to return – and wholeheartedly recommend it to those seeking an authentic, enriching stay in Fes.

從沙漠離開到菲斯古城整整開了10個小時個路程,從早上9點出發到晚上8點到達酒店屁股已經開花。 Riad的老闆是個里昂的摩洛哥女婿,十足中國文化迷,整個房子很有品位也感覺他玩得很開心。誠意十足的酒店,每個員工跟老闆都很盡心讓人感覺像是另個在摩洛哥的家。 It took us a full 10 hours to drive from the desert to the ancient city of Fez. We were exhausted from the time we set out at 9 am to the time we arrived at the hotel at 8 pm. The owner of the Riad is a Moroccan son-in-law from Lyon, who is a complete fan of Chinese culture. The whole house is very tasteful. A very sincere hotel. Every employee and boss is very dedicated and makes people feel like we are at home in Morocco.
