Riad Le Cheval Blanc

Safi


A multistorey dar (traditional house) hidden inside the medina near Bab Lamassa, this B&B is stronger on character than on comfort, but comes with reasonable prices, helpful management, panoramic roof terrace, handicraft-adorned interior and squeaky-clean bathrooms. Its major drawback is the short, lumpy beds.
