A rare opportunity in the historic heart of Marrakech's medina, just a minute's walk from the famous Ben Youssef Madrasa.
This classic 450 m² riad, accessible by car, is an exceptional heritage property for a boutique hotel project or a large private residence.

With a traditional four-sided layout, the riad is built around a large central patio with arcades, whose zellige tile flooring reflects the nobility of the original architecture.
The galleries reveal columns covered in zellige tiles and semi-circular arches characteristic of the large residences in the medina.

The current layout allows for approximately 15 bedrooms, offering remarkable capacity for an accommodation project or a large residence.
With two staircases, access to the upper floor is easy and allows for freedom of layout. On the first floor, a 50m² terrace overlooking the alleyway allows for the creation of an outdoor space or the possibility of building new bedrooms.
The riad also has two doors, one opening onto the road and the second onto another secret alleyway, a shortcut to the Medersa

The douiria itself is a veritable treasure trove of heritage: ceilings adorned with hand-painted zouacs, decorated cedar beams, and museum-quality zelliges from Fez. The perfectly preserved 19th-century rosewood woodwork represents an irreplaceable heritage that would be impossible to reproduce today with such detail. These refined details were commissioned by its former owner, a calligraphy teacher at the Merdersa Ben Youssef, a university founded in the 15th century.

From the terrace, the view is spectacular: the Koutoubia stands out against the sky at sunset, while the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains close the horizon, a rare panorama reserved for a few exceptional properties in the historic medina.
The terrace also has a rectangular surface area of 80 m², useful for setting up tables and deckchairs. The roof of the douiria rises above the terrace, offering the possibility of converting the space into a hammam.

Property in Melkia. Structural work required, offering a blank canvas for creating an exceptional project in one of the most prestigious and touristy locations in Marrakech.
