About this property

COZY BUT TRENDY RETREAT IN MEDINA DAR BABEL

In the heart of the biggest Medina of Maghreb, you will find our 500 years old house,.. old but completely renovated in 2017 with a special care dedicated to respect of the moroccan art but also with a hinch of european design and trendy comfort... Its main charm rests in a passage way on the upper level which leads to 3 of the 4 rooms; this balcony is very lovely with the flying veils ...
The house is for your private use; it can sleep from 2 to 8 persons, with 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms.
On the lower level, you will find a patio with a design dining room.
Next to it, 2 sitting rooms, one opened for talking and chatting, the other one, closed with a fireplace and a satellite TV.
Apart, a brand new kitchen, fully equipped.
Inbetween the patio and the upper level, you will find a big room decorated in the moroccan style; Double bed and bathroom in zellige. Delicate rays of lights and wrought iron make the charm of it...
On the upper level, 3 rooms are located along the romantic balcony: the master bedroom with a king size bed and a grey tadelakt bathroom with a modern design. The 2 other rooms, one with a queen size bed and one with 2 twin beds share a beige tadelakt bathroom.
On the terrace level, you will find a room dedicated to leisure and farniente; we tore down the wall and set a huge window with a view on the medina... We also set a fireplace for confort... A summer kitchen has been added next to it.
The terrace in itself is a must.. As the house is much taller than the surrounding ones, the view on the Medina and the Merenide Graves, is stunning. Due to the height, you are protected from being seen by the neighbours.. Privacy, a luxury in the medina.
The dar is located in a quiet dead end little street , 15 min from Bab Boujloud and 5 minutes from the RCIF place.

Moroccan breakfast and linens are included in the price.
A cook is available if you wish for lunch and dinner for a modest supplement; she can even teach you moroccan cooking.
Transfert to and from airport can be organized; a concierge will welcome you and guide in your first steps in the house and the medina.
Aircon in the rooms, wifi and satellite TV.

Besides the tour of the Medina and numerous wanderings in the souks, you could also have a walk to the jewish cemetery and the adjacent neighbourhood, the Mellah. You could also wander in the new town of Fes.

Rates are 115 eur for 2 persons per night, 155 for 4 , 195 eur for 6 and 225 for 8 persons

Fabulous stay
We stayed at Dar Babel for few days in September 2015. It was our first time in Fes and what a great experience it was!! We visited several Moroccan cities in the past and really didn’t know what to expect of Fes. Thanks to the hospitality of Nathalie and Didier, the hosts of Dar Babel, we discovered real gem of a city in Morocco. Not only is the riad a great place to stay, the hosts also gave us excellent advice on what to do and where to go (or not to go). Dar Babel it’s clearly the best riad experience we had thus far in Morocco. The place must’ve been renovated recently; it’s spotlessly clean, very well decorated in Moroccan style but with personal touches. The whole place is very local, very romantic yet practical. We loved the thick white towels in the bathroom and halogen lights near the mirrors and beds – a practical touch that’s rare in Moroccan style hotels and riads. The open rooftop makes the riad bright and airy during the day and romantic and airy during the evenings. And as if that was not enough, you can enjoy your time on the roof’s terrace and patio: imagine eating your dinner under the stars regardless if your table is inside or outside!!! That’s exactly what we did almost every night enjoying the fabulous cooking of Kharissa and Abdelzargh. 5 stars experience which I definitely recommend to anyone.

Impeccable!
Nous avons séjourné 4 jours dans cette riad de la medina de Fès et avons adoré notre séjour. Nous étions 4 adultes et 4 enfants, et il y avait amplement d'espace pour tous. La riad était un havre de paix au cours de la médina - nous nous sommes sentis privilégiés d'avoir un accès aussi intime avec la vie du quartier et des locaux. Notre hôte Abdel a été exceptionnel durant notre séjour. Son accueil chaleureux et ses conseils pour visiter la medina ont fait la différence. Fès étant notre premier pied à terre au Maroc, Abdel a su nous aiguiller dans la bonne direction pour obtenir un bon guide, ainsi que pour trouver du vin en période de ramadan! Nous recommanderons cette riad sans hésiter!

Formidable!
Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Abdel avec un fabuleux thé marocain! Abdel a été très présent et aidant tout au long de notre séjour à Fès que nous avons adoré. Aussi, Fatima cuisine à merveilles! La riad est très bien localisée et tout y est pour notre confort mis à part qu'il n'y a pas d'air climatisé dans la chambre située au premier étage, un peu trop chaud la nuit en été...Sinon, c'est la perfection!

Un havre de paix et charme au milieu de la Médina
Nous sommes 3 couples et avons séjourné à Fez une semaine fin mai. La maison est magnifique. Elle a été renovée avec beaucoup de goût et de soin. Tous les matériaux et équipements (céramiques, boiserie, stuc, objets de décration...) sont de grande qualité . Chaque chambre possède sa touche personnelle. La terrasse offre une belle vue et est très agréable. Abdelrazach et Fatima la cuisinière ont été très sympathiques et attentifs. La maison est très bien sirtuée dans la médina, à quelques minutes à pied de la mosquée Karaouyine et de la porte Bab Rcif. Nous étions à Fez au moment du festival de musiques sacrées du monde. Nous avons pu assister à des concerts de qualité dans des lieux exceptionnels. En définitive, nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Fez. Le confort et la beauté de la maison y ont été pour beaucoup.
