Stay in a traditional Moroccan courtyard house in the ancient Fes Medina.

Yours alone. An entire traditional Fassi home — courtyard, terraces, panoramic rooftop
views — in the heart of the ancient Fez medina.
Step through an unmarked wooden door in a quiet medina alley, and you enter a different
world.
A traditional Fassi house that has been painstakingly restored by hand using the same
craftsmen and techniques that built the original medina over a thousand years ago. It is not a
hotel. It is a home, and staying here feels like one..
The house has three double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. Two rooms
overlook the central courtyard — the heart of all traditional Moroccan homes — and the third
sits on the terrace with its own sky. Mornings begin with an optional and complimentary breakfast in the kitchen or on the
courtyard: fresh Moroccan bread, honey, olive oil, fruit, mint tea. Prepared and served by my housekeeper, Saadire and my manger Mohammed.

THE HOUSE

Three double bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms

Traditional inner courtyard — light-filled and peaceful

Two terraces with views over the medina rooftops.

Air conditioning in 2 of the rooms and a fan and a heater in the 3rd bedroom. During the colder months the beds have winter duvets and electric heated under blankets. So you will never be cold.

YOUR HOST
Steven is British Super host who has spent over 15 years in Fes, restoring Medina houses and working alongside local craftsmen. He knows the city in a way that few visitors or hosts ever do. His team, Mohammed and Saadire, has worked with him for over a decade and are always on hand to help with everything from local restaurants recommendations to organising Medina walks and day trips.
Mohammed will always meet you on arrival and guide you to the house.

THE LOCATION
Situated on a quiet residential street between Talaa Sghira and Talaa Kabira — the two great
market streets of Fez el-Bali — Dar Houdou places you at the centre of one of the worlds
most extraordinary medieval cities. It is a five-
minute walk to the Blue Gate (Bab Boujeloud), and a 15 minutes walk to the tanneries and the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque. Taxis and restaurants are just a few minutes walk from the house.

THE PRICE
The price changes a little according to the number of people in your group. So just enter the number of people that will be staying when you make a reservation enquiry and you will be given the correct price for your stay. But whether its 1 or 6 persons you will always have the whole house to yourselves.

GUIDED TOURS & EXCURSIONS
Mohammed personally organises guided medina walking tours and day trips to some of the
most spectacular sights in Morocco — the cedar forests and Barbary apes of the Middle
Atlas, the imperial city of Meknes, and the breathtaking Roman ruins at Volubilis. Just ask
and he will put together something tailored to your interests and time.
