A 1910 house refreshed in 2023, with an elevator-accessible rooftop pool and 360° views out past the medina walls.

Riad Semlalia occupies a house dating to 1910, refreshed in a 2023 renovation, with twelve named rooms and suites around 20-36 square metres. Its address on Derb Sornass in the Ziat quarter puts it near the outer medina wall, which is what makes its rooftop pool such a draw: reachable by elevator, with 360° views that extend past the ramparts rather than just over neighbouring rooftops.

Underfloor heating and air conditioning cover both ends of the Fes climate, and the sun terrace and garden add space that's rare this close to the wall. It shares a street with Riad Al Bartal — neighbours, not the same house — so double-check the address if booking either.

Why we chose it

• An elevator-accessible rooftop pool — doubly rare inside the Fes medina
• 360° views reaching past the outer medina walls, since the house sits near the edge
• A 1910 building with a genuine 2023 restoration, not a recent build dressed up as old

Amenities

• Elevator-accessible rooftop pool
