DAR SIENNA - COSY ARTIST'S HOUSE IN FEZ ANCIENT MEDINA - YOUR HOME is a small, cosy artist's house in a truly inspirational and exceptional location near Place Nejjarine. English owner, and super English/French speaking staff. Fab location for guests wishing to experience authentic medina life, the souks (markets) and craft workshops. Sleeps up to 6 guests. Families with children welcome. Ideal for a honeymoon....seriously romantic. Our legendary breakfasts are included in the rates. Plenty to set you up for a day's exploration of the exciting medina.

You are only a 5 minute walk from the nearest car park and taxis at R'Cif.

And of course there are local cafes and fabulous market at R'Cif for fresh fruit and vegetables too. You will feel like you are LIVING here, not as a tourist, because Fez medina is still a fully residential and functional city.
