Without any doubt, my recommendation is to stay in a riad in the Medina of Marrakech, since you are within walking distance of all the places you will visit in... read more the city.

Staying at the Riad Botanica, gave me the possibility to meet first hand the Moroccan people, talk to them, discover their culture and all in an almost family atmosphere.

Riad Botanica is an experience for all five senses that makes staying at Riad Botanica a unique stay:

- Smell: From the moment you enter you are overcome by the citrus scent of the orange tree in the middle of the courtyard.
- Sight: Its impeccable decoration makes you want to discover every corner of the Riad: its patio, its swimming pool, its rooftop...
- Touch: The comfort of its beds and cushions, the softness of its sheets and towels, makes you feel at home (or better hehe).
- Taste: The delicious traditional food they prepare makes you discover Morocco in the quietness of your accommodation.
- Hearing: The only sound you hear in the Riad, are the birds fluttering around the courtyard and the chill out music that plays discreetly in the background.

Thanks to the location of the Riad Botanica, you can reach all the sites with a pleasant walk. It is less than 10 minutes walk from Le Jardin Secret, 15 minutes from the Koutoubia Mosque or the Jemaa el-Fna Square and about 20 minutes from the most modern area of Marrakech.

  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!
