Dar Seven Marrakech

Most of the accommodations in Marrakech are in the form of Riads {enclosed patio area in the center} or Dar {open garden/courtyard in the center}. You can read about the difference between the two and learn a little bit more about them here. Within the medina walls of Marrakech, you would never be able to discover some of these beautiful places if you didn't know exactly where they were. We arrived later in the evening and thankfully for us, someone met us outside the quarters of our dar to take us to our home for the next 3 nights. We were walking through traffic of people, scooters flying by, kids playing, cats running around and people just hanging out on the streets of the medina. "Where is he taking us," is what we were all thinking! But then, we enter through this pink little alleyway and a few steps down...

...we enter into peace and tranquility! We had breakfast in the courtyard every morning and enjoyed some wine on the rooftop one of the nights. I loved the modern Moroccan decor and really wished I could have taken everything home with me! It was such a relaxing place to be at the end of each day, after sightseeing and walking around the streets of the medina. The 2 staff that worked there {one morning and night shift} were both super friendly and we really felt at home. We shared the dar with a couple of girls from Hong Kong one of the nights, but the next two nights, we had the place all to ourselves. The residence is owned by the Princess of Asturias so we can now say that we've stayed in a royal residence =)
