Riad Derb Sraghna

Located in the heart of the old medina, close to the famed Jemaa el Fna square, the souk and the Dar el Bacha palace, this traditional riad was carefully renovated in 2007 and converted into a spectacular private guesthouse.

The courtyard house combines elegance and tranquility while respecting the simplicity of old colonial Riads. Admire its traditional Arab-Andalusian architecture, built around a central courtyard dotted with orange trees and a small fountain complementing the romantic atmosphere.
