Escape the busy Jamaa el-Fna place and head toward Bab Tarzout district in Marrakesh's medina quarter for a very unique and authentic experience in one of the finest Riad in Marrakesh. Take a 20 minutes walk through the mesmerizing souks or a 5 minute "petit taxi" drive, push the wooden door and you will be stunned by the sudden calm... More

I have to say, and my husband will say i'm a sucker for Moroccan interiors, but I have rarely stayed in a more beautiful room than I did at Riad Samsara. Jacqueline has taken a beautiful Riad in the dusty, crazy streets of Marrakech and created a complete haven for the Souk-weary traveller. Not only was the place gorgeous, but... More

We had a great four days at the Riad with Jacqueline who is delightful company. The Riad is in a quiet but convenient area and there is a great Italian restaurant nearby if you have had enough tagines! Great location as you can easily walk to the square and as you are near the wall you can also walk to... More

We didn't expect to see bougainvillea flowing down from the roof to the central courtyard, or red and white rose petals scattered everywhere, or to be woken up in the morning by the most melodious birdsong. It's a little jewel of a riad, where the subtle furnishings, the fountains, polished brass and brilliant colours typical of Morocco combine to enchant... More

A magical stay in the most extraordinary place I could imagine. Amazing food - unpretentious and beautifully prepared. Impeccable hosts who quietly organized our transfers and excursions and provided superb local knowledge. I've no doubt this will be a place I will be drawn back to again and again.
