Lovely two bedroom courtyard house located within walking distance to the souks and all the main attractions of Marrakech.

Dar Sana is the perfect retreat to relax away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, yet still being in the heart of the Medina. It is only available exclusively so makes a more peaceful and individual option than a shared riad but still good value, although you will be sharing with Ali and Nino (the two much-loved resident tortoises).

Dar Sana has been rebuilt and restored with great care. The interior designer has thoughtfully given each room a different tone, yet all reflecting the charm and serenity of the Dar.

Located in an excellent position near to the Bab Doukkala mosque, only ten minutes from the souks and the main square, ten minutes from the modern city of Gueliz and within minutes of some of the best restaurants in Marrakech.

Situated in a quiet derb (passageway) in the medina (or old city) with good road access for taxis or parking.

The house is pretty and stylish, built around a central courtyard with a fountain. It is built over two floors and has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning.

On the ground floor there is a sitting room and a dining room – both having fireplaces for colder winter evenings. There is also a kitchen, guest bathroom and utility room and a large patio area.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with en-suite (showers). There is also a large summer seating area overlooking the patio and with its own fireplace.

The Dar Sana riad was just lovely. I'd like to stay there again at some point. It was nice to have the place to ourselvs and to be honest I could've stayed there for the whole week. Claire

The riad was all you told us it would be and more. It was perfectly suited for two couples and the maid, Hakima, is a little treasure always with a beautiful smile on her face. She prepared a wonderful dinner for us on our arrival and also on another occasion when we had been out for the day into the mountains. The four of us visited a varied selection of eating places whilst there ranging from stalls in the square to the magnificent Yacout. We also went to the La Trattoria and like the Yacout it had the most fantastic decor not to mention amazing food. Sarah had recommended to us on arrival that we should try the Morrocan wine and we found these to be excellent. Rod
"I had a fantastic stay in Marrakesh what a fantastic place, had a truly wonderful time. The Riad was super what a gorgeous relaxing peaceful place to say and the house keeper Hikema is such a wonderful lady and makes the Riad so extra special. I will definitely stay there again in January 2011." Stella, January 2010
