Photos and Description of this Marrakech holiday house Exclusive rental of this delightful riad with staff and pool. Ideal family house

The location and interior of this Riad really sets it apart. Dar Soulahfa nestles in the streets and alleyways that form the very heart of the old Medina of Marrakech. Ideally located in the most desirable area of the Medina, this wonderful position makes it so easy to explore all this exotic city has to offer. The house has an abundance of traditional charm along with 21st century benefits such as air conditioning and heating. The private plunge pool is instantly refreshing and the large roof garden/terrace offers generous and private outside space. The staff provide a warm welcome, are delighted to have children staying and will do their very best to accommodate any request. Intimate enough for a romantic break for two, yet with more than enough space for a small group of friends and ideal for a family. Further images and details can be found at on our website, please ask for link.

Notes: The house does not easily fit into the categories used to describe what westerners think of as a house. Dar Soulahfa is built in the traditional way around an open courtyard where you will find the plunge pool. The main living areas are found on the first floor with the salon as well as areas for sitting and dining that open through arches to a balcony overlooking the pool below. The large roof terrace provides an additional dining area, a covered space with hand painted ceiling and sunbeds for private sunbathing. The terrace becomes the centre of the house during the day where time drifts by as you absorb the sounds of the Medina.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Marrakech, Morocco

Staff: The staff at Dar Soulahfa run the house as though it is a typical Marakchi family home. The welcome they extend is the same as that you would receive staying in their own house, here nothing is too much trouble.Though a full housekeeping service is provided the staff do not live in the house allowing you privacy and the chance to enjoy the unique atmosphere of this Raid. This is a combination of a Villa holiday and a hotel stay, perfect for a relaxed family holiday or for a group of friends where the staff will take care of you while you enjoy the benefits of exclusive rental.The houseman will meet you at the airport, arrange your transfers and any excursions you may wish to take. He serves breakfast and any other meals taken in the house. The staff are here to ease you into a culture that is quite different, though friendly and very welcoming.

Meals: Breakfast is included and usually consists of bread, preserves, pastries, eggs, fresh orange juice and coffee.Atika, our housekeeper, is an exceptional cook and her traditional Moroccan food surpasses any restaurant, this is your chance to enjoy the seasonal food eaten by a Moroccan family. At 150Dirhams (£9) per head for dinner it also offers very good value.Any dietary needs can be accommodated and should be highlighted on booking. We do not hold an alcohol licence and do not sell alcohol on the premises. However, the houseman is able to purchase wine or beer on your behalf, this should be discussed directly with him.

Children: Children are most welcome at dar Soulahfa, the staff love to have them around. It is unusual to find smaller Riads for exclusive rental in Marrakech, this arrangement allows guests to really relax and feel at home without the concerns of disturbing others or being disturbed themselves. There is a child gate to the stairs at first floor level but apart from that the pool, in the centre of the house, is unattended and guests must take responsibility for their children's safety.

Magical Family Holiday

Rob and Mo Montreal, Canada
Review Submitted: April 6, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Our family ( my wife and I, and our 3 children ) just returned from a wonderful holiday in early March in Marrakech. Our stay at Dar Soulahfa was a great highlight of our trip. The owner was extremely helpful in aiding us in setting up our itinerary, and the local staff were great with our whole family.
Before we arrived, we didn't know whether we would eat all our meals at our riad, but after dinner on our first night, we never even thought of going out to a restaurant. The food, personal attention, and warm hospitality made for a magical experience. We couldn't have been happier with our choice!

Holidays don't come better than this

Benllech Cormorant Rochdale, Greater Manchester, UK
Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Four 50+ and two thirty year olds stayed in Dar Soulahfa for a week for what was a truly magical holiday experience.The riad was beautiful and well maintained, hidden away so that even a walk to the square was memorable. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.
The food was so good that it put to shame the two upmarket restaurants we ate in. Then we had a joint 50th and 60th birthday party, organised and catererd for by the staff which was one of the most memorable nights any of us can remember. The riad was lit by candlelight,local musicians played into the night. We danced, the musicians danced, the staff danced and it all ended with shared birthday cake and a truly moving 'friendship' ceremony.
Genuinely, it doesn't get better than this.

'The food prepared by the staff exceeded the standard of any restaurant, and we tried some of the best in town.'

'The house is lovely, a totally different experience from staying in a hotel. We had a marvellous time.'
