We had an amazing first trip to Marrakech thanks to Hassan and the staff at Darchica! The riad was an oasis of calm from the busy Medina and our room was spacious, relaxing and beautifully clean. The staff are always friendly and hospitable, the pool was perfect for an afternoon dip and the food was also fantastic! We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Morocco - thank you so much for our fabulous stay.

An absolute gem of a Riad-with beautifully presented rooms. I stayed over the course of my stay in three different rooms: the Berber Suite, the Comfort Room and Deluxe Room and all the rooms were really comfortable. Hassan helped us with many aspects of our trip in Morocco. He was gentle and sweet and we enjoyed many conversations together.

Une pause dans le temps. Le lieu est vraiment somptueux très joliment décoré notre chambre était spacieuse et splendide. L'équipe plus que formidable répondant à tous nos attentes disposant d'une piscine dans le patio... Et un super rooftop pour se prélasser et prends le petit-déjeuner et dîner De plus l'établissement est proche de tout à pied ainsi que du souk. Tout en restant dans un cadre calme

Un séjour inoubliable au Riad Darchica

Mon séjour au Riad Darchica a été une expérience absolument merveilleuse grâce à la gentillesse et à la disponibilité exceptionnelle de Hassan. Ce riad est idéalement situé, permettant un accès facile à diverses attractions, tout en offrant un havre de paix loin de l’agitation. Le personnel est incroyablement accueillant et serviable, ajoutant une touche personnelle à l’expérience. En plus, le riad a récemment été rénové, ce qui se reflète dans sa propreté impeccable et ses installations modernes tout en conservant son charme traditionnel. Je recommande vivement cet endroit pour un séjour authentique et confortable.
