Riad Camilia

This is a truly exquisite Riad , don’t hesitate to stay here. We stayed in the Menara room, it was utterly beautiful. Very roomy on the first floor with a fabulous private terrace which was welcome in the heat. Our praise goes to Sara and Quentin and the whole team. They were so lovely and nothing was ever too much trouble. It truly is an amazing calm, quiet oasis in the middle of the chaos of the medina. You truly cannot hear anything from the outside. The Riad itself was stunningly beautiful with amazing architecture and Moroccan detail , every room was beautiful and the garden roof terrace was very pretty. The plunge pools were lovely too. We had great breakfasts and the most amazing lunch, with the most flavourful vegetables I’ve ever tasted followed by a really tasty tagine and strawberries and cream ! I was in awe of the Riad all of the time we were there. We stayed for 5 nights. I’m still dreaming about it. One tip is to book the airport transfer, it’s brilliant as you are taken to the door. The Riad is down a very dark passageway, it is completely safe but you would never find it alone .

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and booked the Riad Camila after reading the reviews; I can honestly say our hosts were excellent; nothing was too much trouble, The home-cooked meal we had was superb and served on the roof terrace; we booked a guide for half a day so as not to miss the essential parts of the city. The rooms were spotless and, from a design point, spot on and very tasteful. The staff were all very attentive and with good English. We will definitely return to their Camila

Riad Camilia is set down a tiny dark alley - you would never imagine what lies behind that door! It is a cool, calm, peaceful oasis with a fantastic location in the heart of the Medina. One of the most beautiful and unique places I have stayed in. The building itself is intriguing - a classic Riad with internal courtyards - but the decoration makes it even more special. All the rooms are individually designed with an eye for detail. There are lots of original features and antiques from Morocco as well as further afield. Ours was spacious with a comfy bed and a great shower. The overall effect is relaxed and homely - so it feels like you are staying with friends or family, but with none of the considerations that usually go with it! The rooftop area is charming too - plenty of quiet corners among the cactuses and plants, a great place to have dinner (which we did - and it was delicious) or to just watch the sun go down with a gin and tonic (which we also did!). The service was exceptional - discreet, but personal - and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was plentiful - eggs of your choice, juice, yoghurt, fruit, freshly made pancakes and local breads. There was a lifesaver of a map provided too - and that, together with our initial orientation and recommendations from Quentin - was all we needed to navigate our way around for a fantastic 3 days. Smooth and efficient transfer back to the airport too. We loved Marrakech - and Riad Camilia was a big part of that. We have every intention of returning to both! Thank you Helene, Quentin and Sarah for an exceptional stay.
