Settle in at this ancient Moroccan riad, manned by attentive staff and boasting a plunge pool in the private courtyard. With daily housekeeping, breakfast, and even a night guard, you can focus on relaxing and making memories. The courtyard has space for alfresco dining, and you'll have gorgeous views of the medina and the Altas mountain range from the two terraces. You'll need to climb stairs here, and the home is set in a pedestrian area so parking directly outside will be tricky, but there are paid parking options nearby. If you don't drive though, you'll find restaurants and spas within walking distance, as well as public transport for getting around.
