"Who'd have thought you could have a really relaxing holiday in Marrakech! Lieve's Ryad is right in the middle of the bustle of the mediaeval souks, but step inside, close the doors behind you and the serenity of this beautiful private home enfolds and embraces you. A truly fantastic break."
“The food is superb. It deserves its reputation for being one of the three great cuisines of the world. Rashida has helped us find out just how good it is.” Mara, Australian Journalist, Sep ‘05

"Marrakech is a fantastic experience. It's vibrant, vital and thronged with friendly people. But at the end of a full day, or evening, it is so nice to have an inviting haven to return to for some peace and solitude, away from the bustle of humanity in the markets. Lieve has very cleverly provided the contrast; the ultimate in comfort to escape the excitement of this wonderful city and recharge the batteries for another foray. We could not recommend it more highly and hope to return soon." Mara and Paul , Sep ‘05
“…we loved all the meals that dear Rachida prepared for us here… all in all, a great 8 days.” Hicks Family, British, Aug ‘06
“Ryad Laarouss is an oasis of peace right in the middle of the vibrant Medina. Its luxurious character and oriental charm remind you of the tales of a 1001 nights. After a stroll through the souks or a visit to the ancient Koran school, the Medersa, you can enjoy a siesta on the sunny roof terrace with a view of the Atlas mountains. Housekeeper Rachida makes you feel at home and introduces you to the wonders of Moroccan cuisine.” Iris, Belgian Interpreter, Oct ‘06
“I was astonished at the peace and calm of the Ryad after the clamour of the Medina! It was so lovely to relax there by the pool or on the terrace after a hectic day of shopping and sightseeing. Wonderful!” Laura, Scottish, Artist, Sep ‘06
“As soon as I passed through the front door of Ryad Laarouss, I immediately felt at home. It's incredible to think that just outside the house, bustling Marrakech is only a few feet away. I had a truly memorable stay and look forward to returning soon." Steve, British Photographer, Sep ‘06
“A visit to Ryad Laarouss has everything you could want from a holiday. Luxury accommodation, in a magical city, with so much to offer in culture, charm and adventure. And my favourite…the fantastic shopping in the souks. But all of this is made so much more wonderful when you have the tranquility and style of Ryad Laarouss to come home to.” Sally-Anne, British Law Student, Feb ‘07
“What a wonderful surprise it is, peace and silence of the Sahara in the middle of the most hustling-bustling city in North Africa…a long weekend…a perfect contrast to winter in England, blue skies, beautiful warm days. Beginning of February, we only needed the central heating during evenings.” Barry, British, Retired, Feb ‘07
