Riad Le Calife

We spent several nights at the Riad Le Calife and were very impressed with the facility, service and hospitality. The food was excellent and the attention to our requirements far exceeded expectations. They are true ambassadors to FEZ and want their clients to have a great experience. We would recommend their Riad as a good selection to relax while enjoying the sites and experiences within Fez and area.

An exceptional stay from start to finish. The hosts are wonderful, warm, and truly go above and beyond – they even arranged a great guide to explore the city. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent, with plenty of attention to detail. The staff is attentive without ever being intrusive. Perfectly located in the Medina yet easy to reach, this riad is a true gem.

This is a beautifully renovated old riad in the Fes medina. The staff and management are wonderful and made us feel very cared for. We received great advice on how to optimize our time in the medina and restaurant options outside of the riad. Riad Le Calife's food is also excellent. The rooms are very comfortable as are the common areas such as the courtyard and dining rooms. Its location is very good as well with quick access to car-accessible streets and cabs. We highly recommend a stay at Riad Le Calife

Our stay at Riad Le Calife was exceptional! The property and the staff have all carefully curated this magical dream where every sense, smell, taste, look etc are thought of. The place is gorgeous, quiet, comfortable. The rooms are clean, beautiful and quiet. I slept like a baby. You feel like royalty coming here without paying a royal price. The food is exceptional, so good we decided to only eat Fatima's dinners each night we stayed here. To Jasmine, Alex, Said and all the staff, thank you for a magical time, we will never forget it.

お部屋もとても美しく、快適でした。到着した日にこの時間ならどういう周り方をすると良いですよというのも案内してくださり、時間を有効的に使えました。紹介していただいたレストラン、ホテルで提供されるクッキーや朝食もすごく美味しかったです。

小道からはいったところにあるのですが、非常に分かりづらいので最初右往左往しました。

A very elegant and quiet riad, with gorgeous views towards the city from the restaurant / rooftop. It's very close to the entrance of the Fez Medina. We tried the dinner option and loved it. Alex and his wife were very nice welcoming us and telling us a bit if the history of the place and giving us different tips for the city.

Nothing to complain about

I really have no idea where to start. We arrived at the train station and were picked up by our driver who was arranged by the riad. Once we arrived we were welcomed by Yasmine the Riad owner and was given a thorough description of fes and what to expect from it, places to go see, eat, shop from etc. We found this something very thoughtful of her as a first time tourist to fes you really have no idea where to go and what places are worth visiting except when recommended by people living in the city. We were given a full tour of the Riad, which was really something else, it's like coming out straight from a movie scene.Our room was located on the roof which gives you a breathtaking view once you go up and its the place where you usually have your breakfast or dinner served by moniem or mohamed both the sweetest staff ever. Our room was big in comparison with all the riads we've stayed in, in morocco. The room has a colorful glass doors where when the sun hits at the morning or at the sunset makes such a beautiful reflection inside the room. The day we arrived we asked to dine in and you usually need to ask before hand if you want any special dishes as they are freshly made by their in house cook, and let me tell you it was a one unforgettable experience. The next we arranged through the riad to be picked up with a tour guide to have tour and you can pretty much customize the whole day and what you want to see, where you want to go, but if you'ld like an exceptional tour ask for Samia, she will definitely make your day. Alex the owner of Riad le Calife where also delighted to sit and speak with us about his experience in fes and the full background of how he came up with the design of Riad Le Calife and his devotion for antique collection that will be shown in every space, room of the Riad.

Beautiful Riad in the heart of the Medina. Lovely terrace. The Riad is like a museum! Highly recommend for your stay in Fes.

Beautiful riad, tucked away in a side street. Slightly steep walk but fairly short from Cinema Amal (5 minutes). Very tastefully done, great attention to detail. Friendly staff, helpful with recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. Fabulous views from rooftop, enjoyed evening sitting out. Would highly recommend, great value for money. Would love to return one day. Only feedback would be re breakfast. More choice needed eg with fruits and types of omelette and also bakery selection. A selection to self-serve would work well in the lovely rooftop restaurant.

We had such a memorable stay at Riad La Calife. It’s one of those places that instantly feels special — full of charm, history, and warmth. Every detail is beautiful, from the colorful tiles and carved cedar doors to the stained glass windows and peaceful fountain. You can really tell how much thought and care has gone into creating this place. What made it even more special was meeting Alex and Jasmine. Alex used to be a location scout in France and somehow ended up in Fes after meeting Jasmine — and together they’ve created something truly unique. Their story adds so much heart to the Riad, and it was a pleasure to hear it from them in person. The breakfast was amazing — fresh, generous, and served in the loveliest setting. Honestly some of the best we had on the whole trip. The whole team working at the Riad was fantastic too. So kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They even offered to post our postcards for us, which was just one of many thoughtful touches. We’re really grateful we found this place. It felt like more than just a stay — it was an experience. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Fes.
