Ideally placed in the old city. Large accomodation on three floors with a nice terrace. AC and heating in every room.A large sitting room and nice size eating room. Beautiful view of Fez from the terrace. A recluse part of the Medina that doesn't always see the greatest attention to street cleaning, something one should accept in general for the benefits of sleeping in a historic and impeccably preserved old town. The excursion offered was nice and reasonable. Extremely courteous and attentive driver. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed Dar Sghira, its rooftop views, spacious rooms and the comfort of the house. We're also pleased to hear that you appreciated the excursion and the kindness of our driver. As you mentioned, the Medina is a living, centuries-old city, and that's exactly what makes the experience so unique and authentic. We hope you'll keep wonderful memories of Fez and that we'll have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Dar Sghira one day.

Great Riad in Medina

We enjoyed our few nights in this Riad. Ousted was very helpful with our stay. He organized porters, a tour and breakfasts and was very responsive to our questions. We were comfortable during our stay. The 3rd bedroom is creative.The laundry and the rooftop patio were a bonus. Wifi is limited to main floor but still good. Would stay again!

We loved the house and the location in the heart of the medina. The weather was a little cooler than we expected, and we all caught colds, but having Fatima, the wonderful chef, bring us warm dinners and breakfasts when asked was so nice. Heat in the individual rooms was fine, but we weren't quite prepared to spend a lot of time in the central area. Overall, the house was beautiful and clean, Oustad helped us get in and out of Fez whenever asked, Fatima was great, being in the medina rather than a tourist area was perfect, and we'd come back in a minute

We had a lovely 2-week stay in Dar Sghira as a family of four. The house was well-equipped with sufficient linens, towels, and kitchen supplies, plus lots of guide books and maps to review. Our young sons especially enjoyed the experience of staying in such a unique, historic house. The mini-splits in the bedrooms kept us all comfortable during the chilly January nights. The weather was a bit too cool and rainy to take full advantage of the private rooftop terrace, but it seems like a great, bonus living space during in other seasons. Laurent was a great communicator and made sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. The home's location is convenient for exploring the Medina, though be prepared to wander and get lost as it’s part of the fun!

Great spot!

A great spot in an amazing city. The apartment is apparently at least 300 years old, and has a huge amount of character. And an amazing view from a terrace. It's an incredible spot. As with anything in Fez, there are stairs. Also the Medina does not allow cars, and the apartment is near the heart of Medina, so it does involve considerable walking to get there. But the host Oustad will meet you at the parking lot outside the Medina gates with a cart for your luggage, and show you all the ropes. Fatima also made some amazing local meals for us, she was a great cook. All in all a 5 star experience!

Adventure in Fes

Our stay in Fes was brief, too brief, but it was the highlight of our trip across southern Spain to Morocco and then France. The Dar Sghira house proved to be the perfect place for us to unwind from the excitement and fatigue of travel and of exploring the medina. We were very comfortable there. I especially enjoyed the view from the rooftop patio. Our guide Mohamed shepherded us around the city and to several artisanal cooperatives to see artists at work with textiles, leather, fragrances, ceramics, etc. He was an excellent companion and gave us a wealth of information, matching the level of our interest in history. We got a keen sense of the medina as a living community, not just a museum, even though it has such a storied past. We chose to have multiple meals prepared by Fatima to eat in the home, and we took a cooking class with her, which was enjoyable (and rewarding!). She also helped us with the arrangements for the hammam. We were grateful for all she did.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans ce logement plein de charme en plein coeur de la Médina où nous avons pu nous perdre pour notre plus grand plaisir. Le logement était authentique . Nous étions 5 mais il nous parait plus adapté à 4 personnes car la 3ème chambre est un salon par lequel il faut passer pour communiquer avec les autres pièces avec un lit qui se déplie de confort moyenNous avons été entouré par des personnes attentives à nos demandes. Laurent et Kawtar ont su répondre avec beaucoup de réactivités à nos sollicitations de taxis et taxis avec chauffeur. Le petit déjeuner , tagine et coucous de Fatima étaient délicieux et accompagné de beaucoup de gentillesse .Nous recommandons ce logement à condition d'être en bonne condition physique car il y a beaucoup d'escaliers et les marches sont hautes.

Nous avons passé une agréable semaine dans le Riad Dar Sghira, idéalement situé en plein cœur de la médina. Ce lieu allie à merveille l’animation de son environnement à une atmosphère calme et reposante à l’intérieur même du riad. L’accueil y est tout simplement parfait, et la décoration invite immédiatement à un dépaysement total. Fidèles aux nombreux avis élogieux, nous avons également apprécié les délicieux repas et petits déjeuners préparés avec soin par Fatima, dont la gentillesse et la passion pour le service et l'accueil rendent chaque instant encore plus agréable grand merci à elle et a toute l’équipe qui gère le riad. Le seul point perfectible concerne les literies de l’étage, qui devraient être améliorées en dimensions et renouvelées pour un confort optimal. En dehors de cette amélioration, nous recommandons cette excellente adresse qui mérite véritablement d’être découverte.

Immersion dans la médina

Je cherchais quelque chose d 'authentique et nous avons été servis. Le riad est restauré avec gout, on s'y sent bien. Il est calme et frais. La vue sur la terrasse est superbe. On y sent le coeur de la ville. Oustad a repondu à nos demandes : taxis, porteurs. Tout le monde était la à l heure dite, avec le sourire, au tarif prévu et sans "embrouilles". Fatima cuisine super bien. Couscous et tajine copieux : un des meilleurs souvenir pour mes enfants. Petits déjeuners complets à la marocaine qui vous nourrissent jusqu'au soir! Personne discrète et très agréable. Bref, que de bons souvenirs.

Sehr authentisches, etwas märchenhaftes Riad inmitten der Medina von Fes

Das Riad ist etwas verwinkelt mit engen Treppen und kleinen Räumen, die dem Haus einen einzigartigen Charakter verleihen. Die zwei Bäder sind sehr klein (Waschbecken und Toilette sind, wie teilweise auf Schiffen, in die Duschkabine integriert). Es hat eine Dachterrasse mit Blick über Fes. Aufgrund der Lage mitten in der Medina braucht man einen guten Orientierungsinn, um das Haus (wieder-) zu finden. Die Souks schliessen in Fes recht früh und die Medina ist abends recht ausgestorben außer mit äußerst penetranten Jungs, die einen den (falschen) Weg weisen möchten.

Fes la merveilleuse

Nous tenons à remercier Mohammed pour son accueil sympathique et instructif ainsi que sa disponibilité durant notre séjour. Nous remercions également Fatima qui nous a si bien nourri matin et soir. Elle est non seulement une excellente cuisinière mais aussi une personne très attachante. Quant à la Dar Sghira, c'est une maison très agréable où tout est prévu pour les hôtes (même la balance pour peser les valises bien chargées d'artisanat fassi lorsqu'on repart). Ce logement est vraiment parfait pour déambuler dans tous les quartiers de Fes et en visiter toutes les splendeurs. La terrasse sur toit et la vue sont très jolies.

Típica casa en la Medina

Casa cómoda, con todos los servicios disponibles: internet, TV satelite, cocina completa, camas muy confortables etc. Mohamend muy amable y servicial y Fátima una gran cocinera, especialmente recomendables sus desayunos. El único problema, por lo que no le damos un cinco, es porque la única ventilación grande de la casa entra por la claraboya del techo y no se podía abrir por algún problema, supongo que temporal, lo que hacía que la casa tuviese poca ventilación.

2/10 Terrible

Karakteristiek maar oncomfortabel

Koud, smerig en donker huis. Harde bedden, een klein dakterras waar de vele zwerfkatten hun behoefte doen, lichtknoppen zwart van de viezigheid, plakkerige deurklinken, dikke lagen stof overal, kapotte pannen, stinkende toiletten. Onze contactpersonen aldaar waren Fatima en Mohamed. De maaltijden van Fatima werden ons warm aanbevolen door verhuurster. Maar voor hetzelfde geld aten wij vele malen beter in een nabij gelegen Riad (Dar Bensouda: voortreffelijk!) Mohamed bleek een gesjeesde zakenman. Rekent hoge tarieven voor de transfer en rondleidingen. Autoritair naar zijn medewerkers, zoals de chauffeur die ons van het vliegveld op kwam halen. Een vriendelijke jongen van rond de 20 jaar die flink op zijn nummer werd gezet door Mohamed toen hij op ons verzoek uitgebreid over zijn studie vertelde. Ongemakkelijke situatie. Slechte service, slechte woning, wat een afknapper. Beslist geen aanrader!

Nous venons de passer une très belle semaine dans le Dar Sghira. L'accueil de Mohamed est très chaleureux et il est toujours disponible et efficace quand on a besoin de lui.
