We were hesitant to book a trip to Morocco as it was a bit intimidating. Fez was a great introduction, mostly due to the amazing stay at Alex and Yasmin's place. Hospitable hosts, attentive staff, gourmet meals cooked by Chef Fatima (you don't have to eat anywhere else), and what a beautiful place - any piece of decor could fit... More

I came here following trip-advisor suggestions and I can confirm that they are true! The Riad is fantastic, with a lot of attention to all the details in the room. If you stay there for dinner, the kitchen is excellent. They also have a terrace on top with a beautiful view. The owners and the employees are friendly and always... More

We stayed for four nights from 21st April in the Emerald Suite. When one arrives the impression is - this will be fine. But then Le Calife wraps itself around the visitor and by the end one realises that this is a very special place. The facilities are incredibly welcoming and tasteful but it is Alexandre and Yasmin (and Darwin!)... More

One of the best hospitality experiences we have had in a long time. Alex and Yasmine could not have been more helpful. Not only they but all the rest of the staff were helpful and fun. We seldom eat where we stay but Fatima is such a great cook we stayed in for dinner all three nights...and she cooked us... More

We stayed at Riad Le Calife for four nights in March this year. The rooms were very nice, every one with a different color scheme and individual touches, the breakfast one of the best we git in Morocco (very good orange juice and also decent cheese and some ham), but the service was most outstanding. The owners have been very... More

Loved this pleasant Riad in a great location in Fes and it was defiantly our highest point of the trip. First the Service and hospitality of Yasmine & Alex and their staff. From the moment we booked the Riad till after we left (where they sent an email to let us know we forgot something in the room). They welcomed... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in Riad Le Calife for a few nights in the first week of January 2013. We had such a great time that we're already planning our return trip!

This Riad is perfect on every level. I didn't say "almost" every level, but every level. Alex and Yassmin have created a perfect inn, and I couldn't find fault with anything. Everything has been thought out down to the smallest detail, and the feeling you have while you're there is one of being a welcome guest in a luxurious home.... More

The accommodation and service we experienced at Riad Le Calife was excellent. You have to park a short walk outside the medina of course but they send a lovely fellow with a trolley to collect your bags and show you the way. You get delicious mint tea on arrival to sip while they give you a run down of the... More

This is exactly the place you imagine you will find and want to be in this nice city. I stayed in many riads during whole Morocco trip, but I can say that... More
