Dar Rehla

Tetouan


You'll feel like one of the family at this six-room riad in a quiet alley off busy Niyarine above the Ensanche. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with keyhole doorways, and there's a lovely terrace to enjoy in summer. Tip: pick up some sweets on the street and enjoy them with a pot of mint tea in your room.
