Location & Transport
Riad Ben Tachfine is located in Medina, near landmarks like Koutoubia Mosque (2 km) and Medersa Ben Youssef (1 km). Marrakech-Menara Airport is accessible via a short walk, and Bab Laarissa bus stop is 2 minutes away. The property is ideal for travelers interested in markets and historic sights.
“The meticulous Moroccan design, right down to the handmade furniture, impressed me. I think its boutique size, with only six rooms, allows for personalized service rarely found. Its location strikes a fine balance, too - close to the Medina, yet quiet.”
