A Riad is an old mansion in the medina. A door of an alleyway leads to two storeys built around two courtyards. It is where rich and important men lived with their various wives whose rooms are upstairs. Beautiful tiling, painted patterns on all the woodwork and ceiling, moroccan lanterns. It is cool and peaceful and you would not know it was only five minutes from the busy square. Their is a restaurant with an Italian chef and the food has been just lovely. Of course I finally succumbed to some bug and felt ill and needed the toilet but thankfully it was here!
