Riad Malaika

Tucked down a quiet medina street, this beautifully preserved 300-year-old riad is all ornate stucco, painted cedar wood and gleaming zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework), with 10 lofty-ceilinged rooms decorated with antique furniture. There are house-made breads and pastries every morning for breakfast on the terrace, and in the evening you can feast on market-fresh fare in an intimate salon.
