About Riad Dar Kaotar
Behind his blind walls, after pushing the door, you'll discover the RIAD DAR KAOTAR ,an old house, totally renovated by the traditional local standard, and transformed into a comfortable bed and breakfast. You'll try de magic of the Marrakech Medina. The easy access to the house is not common for a house situated in the MEDINA A guarded parking ,the Bab Hilane gate and the ramparts of the city are distant of only 100 meters. The greatest JEMAA EL FNA place is at 10 minutes on foot.
This Ryad (600 square meters in 3 levels) is composed by 4 bed rooms open to a patio, a big dinningroom luonge and a terrace facing Marrakech .From the three levels terrace you can see the Atlas mountain range. The four bed rooms are equipped with eaters and clim, with double beds, private bath room, private toilet and dressing room.
You'll appreciate the quietness of the house, the traditional Arab mint tea ceremony, the sun bath at the terrace, and the noise coming from the outside life.
The whole city of Marrakech go to sleep while the last prier call from the muezzin is calling from minaret to minaret. A haunting rumour is coming from the medina. Since a thousand years Marrakech go to sleep protected by its ramparts.
From the terrace ahead of the town one can see the miracle. At the first light of the morning the miracle of colours, smells, perfume of spices, mint and jasmine smells, are coming from small path in between high walls.
Minarets, green tiles from a palace roof, palm threes going out of a patio, all are illuminated by the rising sun. At mid day, Marrakech get his breathe asphyxiated by the heat.
This is one of the contrast of the city of Marrakech. Glowing, open, noisy, in the streets and in the souks , and close or mysterious into the houses.
The inside walls of the ryad are covered by antique ceramic called 'Zelliges' and a red ochre wall covering paste called Tad Latke. In the middle of the patio there is the fountain which is giving the needed freshness at the house.
The rooms and salon are all decorated in typical and traditional Moroccan style.
The top terrace are surrounded by sculpted iron fence in Moresque style.
