Description of Riad Basma
Riad Basma is a nice and relaxing place, placed in the medina of Marrakech a few minutes walking only from the main square Jemaa el Fnaa and the souks (markets) The Riad is composed of 5 double rooms (Bouchra, Zara, Ghadia, Fatima and Amal) each one equipped of an en-suite bathroom, a central Patio decorated with Moorish furniture, a nice living room with TV and DVD player and an open air living room corner cool in summer time and very cosy during winter season.

“ We had a wonderful stay at the riad Basma. It was a little oasis in the middle of the chaotic Medina. The service is excellent (mint tea, fresh orange juice, breakfast). The roof terrase is amazing and a great place to hang out. Merci beaucoup Hasna et Miguel pour votre gentillesse! ”
