About this house rental
Dar Sghira: An Enchanted Escape in the Heart of the Ancient Medina
Experience the Moroccan art of living in a 400-year-old historic home, entirely renovated by Mâalems (Master Artisans) to become a sanctuary of softness. Between its intimate patio and its panoramic rooftop, Dar Sghira is an invitation to absolute serenity.
The Patio: The Peaceful Soul of the Home.
From the moment you enter, let yourself be embraced by the magic of our traditional patio. The true heartbeat of the Riad, this light-filled space is a haven of peace where time seems to stand still. Protected by centuries-old walls, it embodies the "cocooning" spirit of the house—the perfect place to gather, enjoy a tea, or simply savor the silence.
A Rare Brightness: A Privileged View of the Outside.
Dar Sghira possesses an exceptional and very rare asset in the Medina: windows opening to the outside. In the library and one of the bedrooms, beautiful openings invite natural light and offer clear views of the surroundings, with no one looking in (no vis-à-vis).
The Rooftop: An Oasis Between Heaven and Earth.
To extend the magic, head up to our 40 m² rooftop terrace. Entirely private and not overlooked, it offers a spectacular 360° panorama of the thousand-year-old minarets and the mountains of Fès. It is a private balcony suspended over history, perfect for sun-drenched breakfasts or starlit evenings.
Absolute Comfort Throughout the Seasons "At Dar Sghira, your well-being is our priority.
Each room is equipped with its own reversible air conditioning, allowing you to create your perfect climate, whether you seek refreshing coolness during the golden summer or a cozy warmth in winter.
To ensure the patio remains the heart of your stay year-round, we have added a radiant heating system. It provides a gentle, enveloping warmth, letting you enjoy the magic of the open sky and the serenity of the patio even on cooler evenings
Absolute Modern Comfort.
We have blended ancient charm (antiques hand-picked from the Medina, noble materials) with today’s high-end requirements:
"Ready-to-Relax" Welcome: To ensure your relaxation begins instantly, all beds are carefully prepared before your arrival. Just drop your bags and enjoy the moment.
Cutting-Edge Technology: Stay connected with Fiber Optic Wi-Fi (100 Mbps), a rare performance in the heart of the old city.
Personalized Service: Oustad, our multilingual correspondent, looks after your well-being, while Fatima can prepare traditional Moroccan meals or breakfasts upon request, to be savored in the intimacy of your patio.
Why Choose Dar Sghira?
This home is more than just a place to stay; it is an experience. It is the luxury of silence, the beauty of expert craftsmanship, and the privilege of a place entirely your own at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

We had a lovely 2-week stay in Dar Sghira as a family of four. The house was well-equipped with sufficient linens, towels, and kitchen supplies, plus lots of guide books and maps to review. Our young sons especially enjoyed the experience of staying in such a unique, historic house. The mini-splits in the bedrooms kept us all comfortable during the chilly January nights. The weather was a bit too cool and rainy to take full advantage of the private rooftop terrace, but it seems like a great, bonus living space during in other seasons. Laurent was a great communicator and made sure we felt welcome throughout our stay. The home's location is convenient for exploring the Medina, though be prepared to wander and get lost as it’s part of the fun!

We loved the house and the location in the heart of the medina. The weather was a little cooler than we expected, and we all caught colds, but having Fatima, the wonderful chef, bring us warm dinners and breakfasts when asked was so nice. Heat in the individual rooms was fine, but we weren't quite prepared to spend a lot of time in the central area. Overall, the house was beautiful and clean, Oustad helped us get in and out of Fez whenever asked, Fatima was great, being in the medina rather than a tourist area was perfect, and we'd come back in a minute

We enjoyed our few nights in this Riad. Ousted was very helpful with our stay. He organized porters, a tour and breakfasts and was very responsive to our questions. We were comfortable during our stay. The 3rd bedroom is creative.The laundry and the rooftop patio were a bonus. Wifi is limited to main floor but still good. Would stay again!

This house was great. It felt cozy and lived in which made us comfortable. Isabelle arranged for someone to pick us up at the airport, and then Muhammad met us at the Rcif gate into the old city and guided us to our house. He was very helpful and happy to give any advice that we needed. The house itself is very unique, and it lets you really feel like you are staying in a part of the extensive history of Fez. I would highly recommend printing out all of the maps that Isabelle emails, they were very helpful to find our way back. The old city of Fez is an absolute maze, you will get lost. Getting lost is half of the fun. Dont worry though, there are plenty of people that will guide you back to the Rcif gate for a few coins.I loved taking advantage of the terrace; beautiful views overlooking the city. My only qualms have nothing to do with the the property, but more the city in general. When walking back to the house we were constantly being told that we were going the wrong way because there were only house in that direction, and that they could guide us to our riad. The neighborhood kids also found us to be quite the novelty and would knock on our door and try to come on to our terrace to talk. They were just curious though. Even not being able to speak their language, I was able to get them to leave off. Ultimately, we had a great time staying at this house, it certainly made us feel like we were not just tourists but travelers.
