We were lucky enough for our first Christmas in Morocco to be a true family affair, but it did mean that we needed some additional space to fit everyone in.
With this in mind I perused the pages of
Airbnb
(it seems to be the thing to do at the moment!)
and found
this riad in the medina, literally just around the corner - perfect!
The house is typically designed around a central courtyard with bedrooms and niches like this arranged around it - it was a bit chilly in December but in the summer I think this would be the perfect place to escape the sun with a book,
or end the day lounging with a cocktail?
The living areas are open plan and full of light.
And are a great mix of traditional and contemporary design - an eclectic approach which I love.
Plenty of communal space for the whole family to gather,
as well as private places to escape to.
The main bedroom has this great ensuite bath - the first arrivals managed to get the best bedroom of course . . . such is life!
The terraces wind up on a few levels.
A real summer time bonus is this plunge pool on the lower terrace.
I think I could spend a lot of time here!
And then of course at the end of the day,
the view over the medina
palm trees, white walls and blue sky.
Perfect.
