					  My second visit in as many months…and already planning on returning! - I have just returned from my second trip to Riad Botanica in as many months, and had a simply wonderful time.

I will never get over just how beautiful... read more the Riad is. And how good it smells! The Riad is absolute luxury throughout, from the swimming pool, the rooftop, all the communal areas to the 5* bedrooms.

Speaking of the bedrooms, they are wonderfully appointed - with the most comfortable beds and softest sheets I have ever experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms are lovely, with powerful showers with seemingly endless hot water. And the toiletries are not your run-of-the-mill hotel toiletries; they are luxury through and through.

The breakfasts are delicious and generous, with the freshly pressed orange juice always being a highlight. You will leave breakfast well-fuelled for the day ahead!

The neighbourhood is super safe and full of friendly locals. A ten minute walk will take you to the heart of the Médina, with restaurants and shops galore.

Special thanks to Mo and Angela for all the care and support, from arranging a car service to collect us from the airport, always spot-on restaurant recommendations, and for making my husband’s birthday extra special.

We will see you again soon, Riad Botanica!
