there are several unique details with us. the ground floor is devoted to living rooms, equipped kitchen in the basement is available to our guests. we have windows in 3 of our 4 rooms which is rare in the medina!
I always worked in tourism which allowed me to travel a lot ... I decided to put my bags in fez, whose medina has fascinated me for 10 years. I have great pleasure to extend my address and my suggestions!
we are located just minutes from the historic district of the quarrahouyne on the heights of the hill of RCIF . a near the famous restaurant 'the ruined garden, and 5 minutes from the main street of talaa sghira
