Indoors
On the ground floor, around the patio and swimming pool, there is a kitchen, the ‘Bhou’ (covered outdoor lounge), the indoor lounges and dining room, and the master suite (1 double and 1 single) with en suite bathroom and toilet.
A staircase leads upstairs to the second suite, with 2 interconnecting rooms (1 double and 1 twin/double). All rooms are connected to the bathroom and toilet.
A third single bedroom is available on the same floor on request.
Note: the house is equipped with a very good wifi system with fibre optics.
Outdoors
On the ground floor, the large tree-lined patio is home to the swimming pool (7x3m - 1.60m deep), which can be heated in winter (25-27°C) at extra cost, and a pretty bhou (Moroccan outdoor living room) situated in front of the pool. It's the perfect place to relax and listen to the birdsong.
The rooftop terrace is bathed in sunshine and boasts lovely views over the rooftops of the Medina and the Atlas Mountains. A pergola (covered terrace) is available for meals.
Staff and services
The riad is run by a family of three: Jamila, a talented cook who prepares the meals, her husband Mohamed, a dedicated caretaker, and Abdelali, their son, who provides the service.
The swimming pool can be heated from mid/late November to early/mid April (at an additional cost).
A hearty Moroccan breakfast is included, and there are 2 dining options for your other meals:
"A la carte" formula:
from 20/25 euros per person per meal (lunch/dinner)
"En liberté" formula: You pay the price of the groceries (and an extra €5 for each shooping session). The house staff will do the shopping and cook with the ingredients you buy.
Dar Z5 can also organise, according to your expectations and budget (to be booked before your stay), activities such as your wellness programme at the riad (massages, vinyasa yoga, hatha yoga, yoga flow, aqua yoga and coaching).
