From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with Moroccan hospitality and mint tea. The owner and staff team were exceptionally kind, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. The riad itself is a beautifully restored gem, with stunning traditional architecture, peaceful courtyards, and a rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views of the medina. The room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was fresh and delicious each morning. The location is perfect for exploring the heart of Fes. We felt completely at home and highly recommend this riad to everyone.

Its been over six months since our visit but my late review is a testament about how much we enjoyed our stay. The location is great; placed inside the Medina so that you have an authentic experience. We wanted to avoid a sanitized brand hotel on the outskirts. We wanted to experience an authentic riad. This Riad hit everything we were looking for: a quiet oasis in the medina complete with interior garden and fountain, great food and warm staff. The restaurant has a great view over the medina. The calls to prayer in the evenings while we had dinner on the patio were amazing. The staff offered a personal touch that made the experience even better. One night, we were short on cash for the next days transfer so Mohamed took time after his shift to escort us through the Medina to an ATM. Before leaving early morning, he and the cook woke up early before their shift to make sure we had breakfast before leaving. We loved this country and the experience with these warm people were one of the reasons.

The attention, the design, the quality of sheets and towels. All to the point. We received help in every request that arised and beyond If i am ever in fez i will stay here for sure, they will have a pool soon, cant wait! Alex and Yasmine are true hosts ＜3

There are few hotels where one cannot find some small thing--or in most cases, many things--that need improvement. I cannot think of anything that needs improvement at Riad Le Calife. The service, decor, ambiance, and food were all superb. Yasmine and Alex are excellent and knowledgeable hosts who pay attention to the smallest details. We had a wonderful time in Fez, mainly due to the fabulous accommodation. Riad Le Calife is an exquisite island of tranquility amidst the bustle of the medina. Many thanks, and we look forward to another stay.

Riad staff met us at the medina entrance to ferry our baggage the short distance: a good start to a very relaxing stay in this beautifully and opulently restored house. A quiet side street, dappled shade and vegetation in the patio, lage, comfortable bedrooms, a covered rooftop dining area for breakfast and dinner, sunny terrace for drinks and rest-time, extravagent public rooms to relax in after dinner. Decorated with stained glass, fretwork, sculpted stone, textiles, metalwork etc by medina artisans, supplemented by pictures, artifacts and vitrines full of historical reminders of Fez' rich history, this riad has been curated rather than created by a very dedicated couple. Human dynamo Alex (French businessman-turned-hotelier) and wife Yasmine (sultry Marocco-Parisienne, plus well-bred pooch) run the riad rigorously and precisely, control freaks in a good way. Food is copious and good quality: having eaten dinner there on on our first night we dined twice more. Staff are very well-trained and attentive to guests' needs. Special thanks to the very good cook Fatima and the smiling, bashful waiter Muhamed. Alex can be overwhelming in his enthusiasm to inform and lecture guests, but persevere with him! His info is helpful and his advice is good. He arranged a full day tour us to the Imperial Cities - only 110 € with a very helpful driver (Meknes and Moulay Idriss self-evident, and we found that at Volubilis the signboards gave adequate info so we did not need to hire one of the rather off-putting official guides locally). Alex recommended a hammam/massage at a very posh riad next door, which we thought a bit pricey, so he proposed one in the new town that did an excellent job for half the price - just remember to take spare underwear with you. We did not accept his proposal for a costly guided tour of Fez medina, preferring a 'free' Guruwalk with the excellent guide Zakaria who got a big tip. Our four nights in Fez spent in Le Calife were by far the best accommodation of our four-centre trip to Morocco
