Amazing, Authentic, Warm, & Welcoming
We’ve stayed in many 5-star places, but Dar Amanza outperformed them all. From the moment we were greeted by the warm and wonderful Abdou, we felt cared for like family. The riad is tucked away in the heart of the medina, and stepping inside feels like entering another world—peaceful, beautiful, and serene. I'm so glad I read up on the location beforehand, because that short walk through the bustling medina only heightened the contrast that makes this riad so enchanting.
Our kids loved the garden (especially the resident turtles!) and bonded instantly with Abdou, who made every day feel special. One of our favorite moments was returning late one evening after a long excursion—our youngest son, half-asleep, instantly perked up and leapt into Abdou's arms for the walk back to the riad. That kind of trust and warmth says everything.
The riad itself is spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We had space to relax, play, swim, and read together—everything we needed for a restful stay.
We highly recommend Miriam’s delicious home-cooked dinner—perfect after a day of travel. Abdou also helped us choose and book excursions, and every detail was perfectly handled.
This is more than just a place to sleep—it’s the rare kind of lodging that leaves an imprint on your heart. We can’t recommend it highly enough, and we’re already dreaming about when we can return.
