Sample the best of Marrakesh in our Moroccan home (riad), where French architect J-B Doucet-Bon has re-designed the living space to provide contemporary comfort along with the best of traditional oriental refinement. Imagine yourself on holiday with family or friends on a quiet, sun-filled terrace in the heart of the ancient walled city (Medina), with unrivalled views over the famous Hotel Mamounia gardens and its olive grove (unique in Marrakesh), but only a 7- minute stroll from the famous Jem el Fna square. In the distance, the peaks of the majestic mountains of the High Atlas . Dar 'Rabia is the ideal retreat from which to sit back and savour the spice of the souk. It is an exclusive vacation rental for a group of up to 6 people, run by an English-speaking team who also speak French and Arabic.  

Dar 'Rabia has been redesigned and renovated by a well-known French architect, combining the oriental with the contemporary to provide a unique holiday experience. With the bedrooms (all en-suite) on the ground floor, the first floor is a magnificent open-plan living-room , kitchen and dining area, overlooking the interior courtyard, with its unusual waterfall fountain and beautiful wooden doors. Relax on the sofas in the lounge or on the terrace after a day in the souk or the Hamman, and enjoy the home comforts of satellite tv, dvd and music center. The vast area is fully air-conditioned and there are two magnificent Moroccan-style fireplaces. The dining area fireplace has been specially designed for barbecues should you wish to dine at home. 

The Riad Dar 'Rabia is located near King Mohammed VI's palace in a well-lit, secure neighbourhood of the medina of Marrakesh. The area is easily accessible by car and there is 24hr car parking nearby. You are just a 7- minute stroll from the famous Jem El Fna Square and the Souks of the medina.Overlooking the Mamounia Gardens, the house is also in close proximity to 'Hivernage', where the majority of prestigious hotels are to be found. The Jem el Fna square in Marrakech is an open-air theatre. By day it sports clusters of stalls selling fresh orange juice, plants, dried fruit and nuts. By night, it fills up with snake charmers, storytellers, belly dancers, musicians and crowds of onlookers. On one side are open air BBQs, which waft delectable meat scents across the square; on the other are rooftop cafes from which you can watch the night unfold. And all around are the souks: an overwhelming array of stalls which wind their way down narrow paths, selling a fabulous selection of leather slippers, ceramics, beautiful cowhide lamps, traditional rugs and wood carvings. Shopping here is addictive stuff.

Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: Just come back from a long weekend in Marrakesh and highly recommend staying in Dar 'Rabia. It is a private riad so you have the whole place to yourself which is a real luxury. It was so relaxing to be able to sunbathe on the rooftop with no one to disturb and to see the Atlas mountains and the orange groves of the gardens below. The location is brill just 5 mins from the square where everything is happening. An ideal place to chill-out Phi Phi Bordeaux April 2008
