Mitten im marokkanischen Leben

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche mitten in der Medina! Einziges Manko: wegen des Ramadan haben wir kein Frühstück bekommen und mussten unser Essen selbst organisieren. Die Menschen waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder!

Great house in an ideal location

This was a great VRBO. The house is very comfortable and is literally in the middle of things in the Fez medina, but only a short walk out to the taxi stand or the main gate. Quiet at night and the rooftop deck is a cool and comfortable place to spend the evenings. Support and response from Si Mohamed and from Suzanna were exceptional. We were picked up from the train station and relayed to the house, where Si Mohamed showed us how things worked and where everything was, and arranged for breakfast each day. There was plenty of room for our family of five and the house is very well equipped and wonderfully furnished. This was one of our family's best experiences in renting a house.

Wunderbar mitten in der Altstadt

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt, wunderbares Haus mitten in der Altstadt, Absprachen mit Suzanna , wie Abholung etc. wurden 100% eingehalten und der Hausmanager Si Mohammend war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit... Das Abendessen im Haus war ein Traum. Das Vierte Schlafzimmer ist nicht oben im Haus zum Patio, sondern etwas abgelegen neben der Hauseingangtür

Great location in the Medina!

Thanks a lot to Suzanna and her staff at Dar Malika - we (family with 3 kids) had a really good week in Fès! Everything was organized very well: the pick-up at the airport that we had asked for worked smoothly, we were very well received by the house manager Mohammed, and the dinner we had booked in the house already for the first evening was just marvelous! The house itself is really nice, spacious and comfortable, our personal highlight being the rooftop terrace, where we relaxed in the afternoons. Another highlight was of course the wonderful breakfast, prepared by Mohammed every morning, and the dinners we booked in the house at three occasions! Suzanna was very helpful and responsive at all times, thanks a lot! We can only recommend Dar Malika for a stay in Fès.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanna Clarke

Originally from New Zealand and Australia, I lived in the Fez Medina with my family for more than a decade.

In 2005, I bought and renovated a riad which become the subject of my book, 'A House in Fez'. In early 2018 I purchased my second house, Dar Malika. Since I have owned Dar Malika, I have refreshed the decor and added some extra touches of luxury.

I also manage several other riads in the Fez Medina, so if Dar Malika is not available, please ask and I may be able to find you an another special place to stay.

Our staff and I will do everything possible to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one. We offer breakfast and dinner on request. We can also arrange transfers from the airport or train station, tours of the Medina, experiences such as a cooking, craft or Moroccan dance class, and a car and driver for trips further afield.

Why they chose this property

The Cherablyene area of the Fez Medina has centres on a small square, where you will find shops and restaurants. Dar Malika is only a few metres from there. It is away from the busy main street, yet handy to everything you may need.

What makes this property unique

Dar Malika is more than 300 years old, and originally belonged to the local Iman. It has been operating as a guesthouse since 2006, and has an excellent reputation as being a welcoming and comfortable place to stay.
