Visiting the Spice market, haggling with stall sellers through the souks and watching the sunset from a roof top cafe in Jemma El Fnaa is what the medina is about. The Palaces, traditions and friendly people just add to the experience. Finally relax with a seasonal smoothie on the roof terrace of Riad Capaldi looking over the medina on to the Atlas mountains.

Riad Capaldi has seven beautiful bedrooms on the first floor; You enter Riad Capaldi through a vaulted corridor which in turn leads on to the tradtional courtyard shaded by a banana tree. There is a small plunge pool, library with fireplace together with a salon and dinning room both with fireplaces for the chillier nights. The large roof terrace also has a firplace and plenty of sitting and lying out areas which is perfect for day and night. A perfect setting for a candle lit dinner or just lounging during the day looking at tha Atlas moutains.

Riad Capaldi is a stones throw from Ben Youseff Madrasa, an islamic school first established in the 14th century and the Maison de Photographie, Museum of Moroccan photography housing a permanent collection & offering rotating exhibitions. Riad Capaldi is North of Jemma El Fnaa, the main square in the medina but thankfully 100 meters from the souks so that it is more peaceful when you first step out of the Riad
