					  The most magical Riad in all of Marrakesh! Visit here, you won’t be disappointed! - Riad Botanica is a real oasis, nestled amongst an authentic, super safe and super gorgeous Marrakesh neighbourhood.

The Riad is absolutely stunning: as you enter you are met by... read more the most gorgeous citrus scent and the mesmerising tones of the gentle music playing in the Riad during the day. The interior design of the Riad is second to none: prepare to be blown away!

I ate dinner on the rooftop on one night of my stay, and aside from the beautiful sunset and the beautiful sounds of the call to prayer, the food was exceptional. Authentic home-cooked Tagines and delicious side dishes and breads made for a meal so wonderful my husband is still talking about it! Special thanks to Chef Fatima for the love and talent she pours into every dish. Also, breakfast deserves a special mention too. 

The location is perfect, a ten minute walk to Le Jardin Secret, rooftop restaurants and cafes, incredible shops and boutiques selling good quality items and also an abundance of traditional Moroccan Hammams. The area is so safe, with locals stopping to help you if you look lost!

The owners Angela and Mo were so kind and helpful to my husband and me, providing recommendations of places to eat and visit, local info on what we should be paying for taxis to our excursions, and generally just checking in on us and making sure we were having a good time. Which we certainly were!

Thank you to the entire Riad Botanica team. We have never been somewhere quite like Riad Botanica - and are already planning our next trip to stay with you!
