Really good Riad Experience

Massimo and Giorgina greeted us warmly and gave us helpful information for exploring. The riad's layout is good, with many private spaces. Our bedroom was beautifully furnished and provided everything we wanted. The food was excellent. I found it a wonderful introduction to the local culture.
The minibar setup cannot be unplugged, which could pose an issue for some guests.
