A beautiful Riad with a dedicated staff. Truly a home away from home.

This is a lovely Riad with multiple lounges on the main floor for reading and relaxation. The breakfasts are af a very high quality and individually served rather than buffet style. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed having dinner at the hotel and thought the food was excellent.

A gorgeous, spotless, comfortable riad. Food was excellent and staff very kind and friendly.

Riad Clos des Arts exceeded our expectations not only for the quality of their premises, but the level of service we received from the staff and specially from the owners. There is a saying in Spanish: "El ojo del amo engorda al caballo", which means that if the owner is present at the business, the business will flourish. Giorgina and Massimo take care of their guests at a personal and professional level. Not only provided guidance on what to do in Marrakesh, but gave us information that made our stay, tour and purchases better. We are very glad we stayed at Cloys des Arts and we will definitely come back again.

I don’t think I can adequately describe how much I absolutely loved Clos des Arts. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in 30 years traveling regularly to Morocco. It is a beautifully restored and decorated riad - creates the feeling of a sanctuary, a peaceful oasis in the bustle of the old medina; conveniently located and easily accessible near the Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said Museum. The owners and staff at the Riad are just wonderful and make you feel at home. I will definitely look forward to my next visit. Thank you!

The riad was amazing; very beautiful property with Moroccan decor. The staff was super friendly, welcoming and helpful (explained ins/outs of the medina, provided good recommendations for food and activities, and helped make reservations). They all went above and beyond to make me feel at home and have a great time.

- Amazing staff very friendly and hospitable. Massimo, Georgina and Yassin, thank you so much for taking care of us. - The room was beautiful and spacious. - its absolutely quiet although its very close to jamaa al fenaa.

The Riad is a perfect example of what you would want in a Riad. An oasis in the middle of the hectic crazy streets of old Marrakech. The courtyards are beautiful, the bonus spaces, like the library and sitting area are lovely, it becomes your base and shelter during your visit. A lovely place. The homemade yogurt is great, as is the variety of breads in the morning. Try the dinner on the roof too. It's delicious and a great opportunity to make the acquaintance of some of your fellow travelers. The location is good too, not too far from parking, but not too close to main thoroughfares.

The riad itself is spectacular — two beautiful courtyards, rooms furnished with gorgeous traditional furniture and crafts, a planted roof with a little pool. But what makes the Clos des Arts phenomenal is the staff and the individual attention they offer. From the mint lemonade and mint tea always on offer to the recommendations and reservations the staff made for us, it was a 5 star experience. We will be sending all friends visiting Marrakech to stay with Georgina and Massimo and their amazing staff.

Bed WAS like a cloud.... but the Riad is like “a home away from home”.... with all the creature comforts we are all used too and MORE! Georgina, Massimo and Valentina are the most caring, helpful and genuine hosts imaginable. Their warmth and hospitality are infectious and their advice, suggestions & guidance make Marrakech and the surrounding area so wonderfully EASY to navigate.

Hosted by Massimo and Giorgina

Massimo and Giorgina
The legend says that this traditional arab house belonged to an art trader. Every room has been decorated according to a typical Moroccan form of art. The house develops around a peaceful inner courtyard with a central fountain. On the 1st floor guests can access their rooms from a beautiful columned gallery. There is also a cozy roof terrace with a small plunge pool. Our rooms are ideal for double occupancy, however there is the opportunity to add an extra bed in our suites (on supplement). The property is also available for exclusive rent, in occasions such as friends gatherings, family reunions, wedding and anniversaries.
Giorgina and Massimo, the house's hosts, welcome their guests with warmth, care and attention to provide them a wonderful experience in a familiar and friendly atmosphere. They offer hospitality to guests looking for a house where a familiar and personalised understated service is provided and they will be happy to share with you their enthusiasm for Morocco. Massimo has been living many years in Africa and has plenty of stories about his experiences. Giorgina loves cooking and will overview all the delicacies coming out of the kitchen.
Riad le Clos des Arts is very centrally located in a quiet and wealthy residential area by the Museum of Dar Si Said, at a 5 mins walk distance from the Djemaa el Fna Square and the Bahia Palace.
