Riad Sougtani

We stayed at this riad for one night and wished we could have stayed longer! It’s the perfect escape from hectic Marrakech. The garden is spacious and full of life, with all kinds of fruit trees, plants, and animals (including turtles, a dog, and cats). The staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming. I highly recommend having dinner here, everything is fresh and locally sourced. The breakfast was also good, though I did miss having eggs. A small downside was that the beds weren’t very comfortable. All in all, a wonderful stay, and I would gladly come again!

Beautiful Riad, amazing food, friendly and welcoming staff all around. One of my favorite elements was being able to stay in an historic Riad with a rich history and having an authentic Moroccan experience.

Amazing stay, thank you all so much. You made us feel instantly welcome and explained all about your family history here at the riad. The gardens were pristine and helped us to instantly relax with the sound of the fountain just adding to the ambience. You went out of your way to show us where you grew the vegetables for the dinner that we all ate, which was so fresh and tasty. the service was exceptional. Even having a fire lit after dinner, so we could relax in comfort. Thank you, it was just what we wanted after the hectic days of Marrakesh. If you want some peace, quiet, amazing food and fabulous service you’ll find it here.

This place is a wonderfully restored Riad that has been in the owner's family for generations. The gardens are large and there are several roof terraces which allow you to look out over the surrounding desert land and into the distance, the Atlas Mountains. There are spectacular fortress-type constructions on either side of it which adds to the sense of history. We had one night there and used it as a springboard to visit the mountains the next day, but it was a memorable afternoon and evening, relaxing in the beautiful gardens which are full of citrus tress, and having a really good dinner in the small restaurant with log-fires at either end of the room.

We stayed 2 nights in this peaceful magical place! The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and quiet. A perfect break from Marrakech, less than an hour’s drive away. We fell for their sweet orange cat, there were maybe 4 cats we saw, 2 domesticated and one a bit wild. The meals were plentiful, in a lovely dining room with a fireplace. The history of the place is fascinating and as I understand it, the Riad is still in the family. Read about it, it’s why my husband chose it. But the true magic for me was meeting Karin (German pronunciation ka-RIN) who lives there (I believe she is one of the co-owners). I decided to treat myself to a massage, and called ahead of our initial arrival. and was told in rapid French that Karin offered shiatsu, I think I might have heard the word ‘energy work’ in there (my college French classes are long ago). Well, as soon as I walked in her studio I felt it. I have received, performed and taught various Massage and other alternative healing disciplines and probably had at least 50 people work on me over the years of various talents and temperaments and I have had the good fortune to work with 4 truly ‘shiny’ healers. Karin is one of them.

Fantastic family run Riad, beautiful, calm and the staff were outstanding, so friendly and hospitable, amazing food, they catered very well with 3 out of 4 of us being vegetarians. Such a welcome relaxing break from Marrakech and we definitely recharged our batteries, highly recommended and worth the short trip (30 mins) out of town and into the middle of the real Marrakech. We also got a tour round and saw the vegetable garden and met the donkeys, horses, dogs and cats. Such an oasis of calm in the middle of the desert with a lovely garden and pool, we will return.

e stayed just a single night before flying off the next morning. ||We arrive quite late in the evening and regardless are greeted by a group of men who await us with pot of delicious tee right in the Riads stunning garden area. ||After unpacking, one of the owners, Ahmed Soughani shows us around the property and invites us for a glass of wine. He tells us the family tail of the property and we are simply blown away. You literally feel like a an ancient Berber tribe leader being invited to an important political debate on the estate in 1890.||The next morning we wake up fairly early. It is still dark. Breakfast is already served in the stunning dining area with fresh juice and fragrantly fresh bread variations, served with Argan oil, home made jams and more - the staff is already up, chatting to me in fluent German (my mother tongue) as well as in French, helping me to get back into it again.||Shortly after, we are being assisted back to the front gate where a taxi is already awaiting us. Short but sweet! ||What a place- must visit when in the area!

This Riad is a real piece of heaven on earth. I could never imagine the presence of such a quiet, overwhelming and peacefull place like this one in Marrakech.||Seen from the outside, nothing look so special but once inside the real charm operates with their sympathetic and smiling personnel, tasty food and the chirping of the birds all over the place.|The rooms are big and well furnished, the King sized bed was comfortable, we've appreciated the welcome plate of cookies, fruits and typical Moroccan tea waiting for us in the room.|I recommend this Riad to everyone and I'm planning to visit it again during my next journey in Marrakech.||
