Beau Riad for Rent (in whole)

I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone wishing to have a unique experience in Fez. From booking to checkout, communication was excellent. But the heart of the experience was Mrs Loubna, the housekeeper. She arranged for our tours and a wonderful supper one night during our stay. Her breakfasts every morning were amazing. And her warm and generous personality made everyone in our family feel comfortable and welcome. The accommodations were very nice and the patio inviting. If I’m ever back in Fez, I would definitely come back to Far Eva.

This is a wonderful riad to stay in while visiting Fes. So well appointed/decorated and a place of calm after the busyness of Fez. Location makes a very easy stroll to put you in the action of the markets and restaurants. Mrs. Loubna is a treasure, so accommodating and helpful. We had a dinner at the riad which was so good! Suggestions of how to make this place better, absolutely none!

This is an absolutely beautiful house, perfectly maintained. The pictures of the house do not prepare you for how nice the house really is. And as difficult as it seems to find the house the first time you are led here, it really is easy to find once you know where it is (and part of the fun is that the last block is on a street barely wider than your shoulders). Before you leave on your own the first time, Mrs. Loubna walks you out to the main street to make sure you know the landmarks and how to get back, and gives you a map and her phone number just in case you have any problems. The owner, Pascal, responds almost immediately to any question you have before arrival, and the housekeeper/manager, Mrs. Loubna, is as helpful as can be once you get there. Mrs. Loubna's breakfasts are as good as any we had in Morocco-- her crepes are hot and delicious and her coffee is good, hot, and plentiful--, and are served on the terrace on beautiful blue and white Fassi china. Mrs. Loubna arranged a three-hour tour of Fes for us with an excellent guide,and also arranged our absurdly early morning ride to the airport, all with no effort on our part except to ask. We have only one caveat: stairs in Fes seem to be steeper than anywhere we have ever been, so if you have any knee or other mobility issues, staying in a three story house in Fes is probably not the best choice. Otherwise, you'll love it here.

Communicating with the owner Pascal was really easy. He has this great housekeeper Mrs. Loubna who is fantastic. Driving in Fes through rush hour traffic was chaotic and then you meet Mrs. Loubna and an air of calm comes over you. She directed us to an underground parking spot and walked us to the house. We were convinced we would never find our way again, but that was not the case. It is really easy once you get some primary markers which she pointed out for us.

The house itself is lovely and really well located. It is on 3 floors therefore note that there are a number of stairs to climb. We were there February 2019, a little chilly in the evening/early morning but there are heaters that you can turn on. Mrs. Loubna organized a 1/2 day guide for us, I would not normally use a guide but found it very helpful to understand the Fes medina history and culture. She also came back to the house and prepared breakfast every morning. If you are coming through Fes I would recommend Pascal’s Dar Eva. We were a family of four with 2 children aged 9 & 11. We all miss Mrs. Loubna!

Dar Eva is quiet, comfortable, and centrally located--and was just about perfect place for our four-person family to explore Fez for three nights and four days. The house manager Ms. Loubna was very friendly and helpful, getting our car squared away in a car park, then leading us to the riad. She has good recommendations--and would have set us up with a guide if we had wanted. She took care of our laundry and cooked breakfast. The rooftop had stunning views of the royal palace and old city walls. We had a terrific time and would go back in a minute!
