In the heart of the Old Medina, near the historic Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said Museum and just a stroll away from the famous Jemaa el-Fna square, lies the latest addition to the Angsana Riads Collection in Marrakech: the Riad Dar Zaouia.
With a name that means "a place of retreat" in Arabic, Riad Dar Zaouia is built on an old zaouia, a religious school. The former spiritual and social centre still emanates the serenity and conviviality of its past, beckoning those seeking an intimate retreat in a quiet place of refined, relaxed elegance.
This lovely, aristocratic 19th-century mansion has since been gently restored to its former glory using traditional Moroccan techniques and the talents of local craftsmen and artisans.
