Photos and Description of the Marrakech holiday house

Riad Merstane is an affordable & stylish riad in a traditional area of Marrakech-Medina, the old walled city. Behind the ancient door is a tranquil courtyard filled with a profusion of scented plants & flowers which echoes with birdsong. An orange tree provides shade & there is a rose-petal scattered fountain. The large roof terrace, with many exotic plants, has High Atlas Mountain views & is furnished with sun beds, tables & chairs & has a shady pergola for relaxing. There are 2 charming salons, one with a large fireplace, an extensive library, a CD player and a selection of board games. The riad is furnished with traditional fabrics & furniture and the bathrooms and main salon are finished in' tadelakt' There are 4 en-suite bedrooms & a pretty dining room.

Riad Merstane, at the end of a narrow 'derb' or cul de sac, is in a traditional area in the northern medina. It is a few minutes from the bustling local square of Bab Taghzoute where cars can be parked & there is a convenient taxi rank and many local shops. It is an easy 10 minutes walk to the 'souks' & sights such as the Ben Yousef Medersa & Museum of Marrakech & through them to the legendary Jma' El Fna' square, the heart of the great urban theatre of Marrakech. In contrast, the European 'New town' has pavement cafes, bars & stylish shops & the 'Palmerie' is pleasant for a stroll with golf courses, camel rides & other sporting opportunities. Further afield are the High Atlas Mountains-the Ourika Valley, Ouigane gorges, waterfalls at Ouzoud & Djbel Toubkal for trekking- or over the mountains to Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert. Closer is 'Le Barrage' a large lake with swimming and sports facilities & the breezy enchanting beach resort of Essaouira is 2.5hrs by road.
