Enjoyed my stay at Riad De Vinci. The staff are great and willing to wait on you hand and foot. The accommodations are clean, bright and spacious making this place a great home away from home. Many amenities offered like multiple lounging areas, a relaxing TV room, WIFI and quaint pool in the courtyard to use should the heat of Marrakech get to you. The location is excellent as it is max 10 min walk to Jemma El Fna. The riad is also close to a medina entry point making hailing a taxi to visit the Atlas mountains, Berber villages or finding your way back to the train/airport a breeze. In the morning they serve breakfast consisting of coffee, traditional mint tea combined with Moroccan inspired pastries and bread. The style of the riad itself is quite different as the owner (an artisitic kind of guy) put a modern twist on the place. From the stucco interior, (I think its stucco) to the smooth rounded lines of the walls/floors and beach faded distressed doors coupled with modern furnishings/decorations gives a feel of what a modern riad would be like near the ocean. I liked it for its originality as well as its comfort. Never imposing, this place made spending time in the common areas with other guests pleasurable . I believe one would be hard pressed to find a place of this quality for a better price. I can't reiterate how friendly and genuine the staff and owners are. Staying in a riad, preferably a moroccan owned riad is a far better choice then staying at a generic hotel chain. In a riad you are living in the medina, experiencing the people and culture firsthand as well as spending time in a cozy, personal setting. Thanks Taoufik, We greatly appreciated your kindness and hospitality.
