We had a wonderful stay at Dar Charkia. It was my fiancé' s and I first trip to Morocco. I had read about staying at a Riad but never experienced it. Imagine Traditional spacious old Moroccan homes, in the old Median, renovated for modern comforts but retaining its old charm. Imagine wonderful cozy rooms, beautifully furnished with local sensibilities. Imagine... more

With our 5 day escape to Marrakech being booked at the last minute, I did not approach the accomodation with high expectations (especially considering the low cost). Thankfully, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. The Rhiad itself is in an ideal location. So close to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, yet as soon as you step into... more

Dar Charkia was a stunning place to stay, the whole riad was decorated beautifully, and the room was gorgeous! It was an extremely relaxing place to stay in such a busy city. The patio and roof terrace were lovely, as were each of the lounge areas. The breakfast which is served outside (and whatever time you want it which is... more

I stayed in Dar Charkia with my mother for 3 nights - brilliant location and excellent hosts in Michael and Lisa, who gave us superb recommendations for each of the 3 days we had in the city. We arrived late at night, and Lisa had left an anotated map of where to go and what to do that night. Fabulous... more

We went at the end of May which was hot enough. Arrived at 1.30am to a friendly welcome which lasted our whole stay. Lisa our hoste was a mind of information and sent us to some fantastic places to visit and eat. We were a group of six couples so we took all the bedroomsgiving us the riad to ourselves.... more

Amazing oasis in the middle of a fascinating city. Felt like we'd walked out of the 'wardrobe into Narnia'! As you step in to Dar Charkia from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech - the cool, calm, beautiful environment provides the perfect base to enjoy in its own right - and also from which to explore the sites. The standard... more

From the moment we enquired about staying with Lisa & Michael, we couldn't have asked for more. Their suggestions on what to see and do and more importantly where to eat. Response were quick and nothing is too much trouble. Lisa gave us a great orientation talk on our first morning before heading off for our guided trip round the... more

We stayed at this wonderful riad from 10th-14th June. It was superb!! we were welcomed on our arrival by the lovely owner Michael and his fantastic team of staff who instantly made us feel at home!! The riad is beautiful and I only wish I had Lisa's (the owner) ability for interior design. We were given lots of really useful... more

I organised a group of 12 friends to come and spend 5 days in Marrakech for golf and discovery. I chose Dar Charkia for its excellent web-site and fantastic response from Lisa to all my questions. We took the whole riad and we were not disappointed ...a real little gem of a riad, friendly staff, delicious breakfasts and food.. and... more
