Le Farnatchi

Pure class! What a beautiful place this is. From the moment we arrived, we were treated impeccably. Every single member of staff, from Walid and Morad in management, along with Saeeda, go the extra mile. Aradwan, Moffad and Karima in staff, are the most welcoming and gentle beings. The breakfast is beautifully prepared and presented, wherever you wish to take it. Our favourite spot is on the Riad's rooftop after coffee with the sunrise. The spa is exceptional, with a couples Hamam and massages extraordinaire. Quiet, authentic, with the very highest, yet not overbearing, standards. Thoroughly recommended by me. The Riad has a restaurant 3 steps from the door, with a great selection for lunch and supper. 10/10, La Farnatchi, thank you. MN

This Riad beats any hotel stay. You have Saida who is a most gracious host, we felt like family. The room was exquisite, attention to every detail during the stay and turn down service. A must for anyone wanting a relaxing stay. Have a Hamam with Fatia and a massage Yazmine you will not regret it.

They have got it so right at Riad Le Farnatchi - it is an oasis of calm and luxury in the craziness of the Marrakesh Medina. From meeting us from our taxi (can't drive right up to the riad - it's maybe a 5 mins walk but they deal with your bags) to the welcome with mint tea and sweet nibbles ( no pesky check in - the manager took our passports to do that boring stuff), the beautiful, well thought out rooms and the smiles and friendliness of everyone working there, this place is a real treasure. There are 10 suites and ours was over 2 floors with a lounge area downstairs and a bedroom (huge, comfy bed) and bathroom (with a selection of shower gels and shampoo/conditioner and the best towels I've ever had in a hotel) upstairs, leading onto a terrace with table, sun loungers and view. There is also a sun terrace where you can sit. Room service was seamless and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is included - yogurt and fruit, breads and eggs, with coffee or tea) I can't recommend Le Farnatchi enough. Apparently many of the staff have been there for years and it shows in the best way. They are all fluent in English (and other languages) so can help easily with any problems. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This beautiful boutique hotel was a true gem! It had a gorgeous aesthetic and the most kind and helpful staff. They literally anticipated all of our needs. The attention to detail was so impressive. The location was perfect. It was close to all the exciting city things, but still quite peaceful.

All I can say is WOW!! If you are browsing riads in Marrakech, then browse no more. This one will not disappoint. We arrived back home yesterday after 3 nights at this beautiful riad. The riad is a little bit of luxury nestled on the outskirts of the souks. It's a great location and me and my partner walked 20 miles over 2 days, taking in the sights of the medina. It's so accessible to many attractions the city has to offer. We landed late in the evening around 9.30pm, me and my partner were apprehensive about travelling into a place we knew nothing about. The hosts at the riad took care of transfers before we arrived, and I must say we were greeted by the most informative driver who gave us so much information on arrival. Arriving at the medina, we were met by staff who guided us directly to the riad. I can't emphasise how safe we felt. We were led to a large wooden door and greeted by the hosts to what can only be described as a place of tranquil and luxury. We were served mint tea and biscuits on arrival and welcomed into the riad. We stayed in room number 7, which was absolutely gorgeous and so big, we literally couldn't believe the while suite and terrace was ours for the next 3 nights. The room was extremely clean and well equipped with beautiful soaps, body washes and refreshments (bottled water & a fruit basket). We were advised that we could have our breakfast anywhere in the riad we liked. The towels were fluffy, the large bed was extremely comfortable, and included a hairdryer and bathrobes. We chose two have breakfast for two days downstairs in a lovely room equipped with beautiful drapes, artwork and an open fire. Breakfast was served by the most wonderful accommodating staff. The breakfast consisted of a choice of varying teas and coffee, fruit and yogurt (which was so tasty) followed by eggs of your choice and multiple breads. Both me and my husband could not finish the food provided due to there being so much. My husband informed me that the selection of jams and honey were also very lovely. Me and my husband are both very well travelled and like to set off on foot ourselves to explore and this was facilities by information & maps provided by the hosts. I can't emphasise how helpful the staff are, they literally can not do enough for you. We were offered the opportunity to book excursions and also asked if we needed a guide but we politely declined as we are very happy to go off by ourselves with the use of Google maps (which worked perfectly). We visited several museums that Marrakech had to offer, aswell as made our way through the souks down to the square with ease. We had two evening meals during our stay, which were booked via very helpful hosts. A must do is Le trou au mur which is owned by the riad across the cobbled path from the riad. The food was divine and such a vast selection. I eat out a lot and I must say the food in this resteraunt is the most delicious I have ever eaten. They had such a great selection

Very relaxing, authentic hammam and massages. One of the more expensive in the medina area but still really good value. All the staff were really helpful. I had wanted to stay on longer as everything was amazing but it was full. Would definitely recommend. This can be tricky to find - you need to keep looking up for the small sign.

We absolutely loved Le Farnatchi. Our suite was immaculately stylish and comfortable. The food at Le Trou au Mur was the best we had in Marrakech and the highlight was lunch on the roof terrace. We felt that nothing was too much trouble. The guide organised for the souks was fantastic and kept us well away from overly touristic areas. The spa is also wonderful- the hamam is an experience not to miss!

The staff were amazing, breakfast was stunning. Will visit again
