The house was the highlight of our week in this fascinating ancient city. The house has been stunningly restored by the owners, and the roof terrace is amazing, providing a much needed escape from the frenetic medina. It is stunningly located next to Moulay Idriss, and we all felt it worth it living within the old city. It was so quiet considering how central it was!
The local eating options are pricey and limited so be aware, and the house is not the Hilton, so take that into account (e.g. nice to have hot showers, but they are not power showers, and the hot water comes and goes in the middle floor). The staff are the other highlight - housekeeper Saba a total delight, house manager Ahmed very helpful, wonderful driver Aziz if you opt for the big car - total luxury 6 seater for day trips (Meknes and Moulay Idriss nice, don't bother with the Roman ruin!). Great communication from the lovely owner Sonhild who is a true passionate lover of Fes and though the price seemed expensive for the whole week (compared to say a gite in France, remember this is a developing country), when you go to stay, it is worth every cent. As for costs, though local tagines cost 60-100 dhirhams, and the tourist trap restaurants had 'menus' for 250, a local pizza in the new town cost 20-30 dhirhams, putting it into perspective. Might be worth having a shopping trip first in the new town supermarket, as hard to get groceries locally unless you are a local, and you get a bit 'tagined' out after 4 days! Don't go to the restaurant SEKAYA, such slow service for such average food! Restaurant Fassi by the blue gate was our favourite. Local orange juice is stunning!
Truly, we would stay here again if in Fes. Don't hesitate to book if you want a 'real' Fes experience, but book the whole house (3 bedrooms - all double rooms, the ground floor can be split into singles). A lot of steps in the house, butt the view from the top is so so worth it.
