Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé une nuit dans ce Riad, Mohamed est aux petits soins et prends le temps de cuisiner de très bons petit déjeuner sains. Nous recommandons ce riad avec grand plaisir, il faut juste noter qu’il y a un peu de bruit le matin le matin (8H30 par la) comme dans tous les riads :)
