Welcome
Riad La Petite Maison – Fes
Welcome to Riad La Petite Maison, a small and charming riad in the heart of Fes. With five characterful rooms, we offer an intimate and authentic place to relax and discover the magic of the old city.
Located just a five-minute walk from the lively medina, La Petite Maison is a peaceful oasis away from the activity of the streets. As you step inside, you leave the city behind and enter a warm and serene setting, surrounded by Moroccan charm and tranquillity.
From our beautiful rooftop terrace, enjoy lovely views over the old medina, its characteristic rooftops and minarets. It is a wonderful place to start the day with breakfast, enjoy the sunshine, or watch the sun slowly set over Fes.
Riad La Petite Maison is your peaceful home in Fes — close to the energy of the old medina, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet, comfort and the authentic charm of Morocco.
Our story
La Petite Maison is, as its name suggests, a house on a human scale: an old medina home, patiently restored with the craftsmanship of Fes. The zellige was relaid tile by tile, the cedar ceilings repainted by hand, the walls finished in traditional tadelakt, polished with stone and black soap.
We deliberately keep only a few rooms — four rooms and one suite — so every stay stays personal. Here we know your name, we move breakfast to suit you, and we draw you a map in a notebook so you don’t get lost in the alleys.
Just a five-minute walk from the lively medina and a short stroll from Rcif square, the riad is a genuine oasis of calm, away from the activity of the streets.
Our philosophy
We believe a good stay in Fes rests on three simple things: silence at night, faultless bedding, and hosts who know their city. Everything else — mint tea on arrival, seasonal fruit, the right addresses — follows naturally.
As you step inside, you leave the city behind and enter a warm, serene setting, surrounded by Moroccan charm and quiet.
Authenticity
Materials and craft that are wholly of Fes: zellige, tadelakt, cedar, brass, wrought iron.
Calm
Only five rooms, around a courtyard with a fountain. You fall asleep in silence.
Location
A five-minute walk from the medina and Rcif square; transfer arranged to the door.
Care
Homemade breakfast, dinners on request, trusted guides and drivers.

The rooftop terrace
From our beautiful rooftop terrace, enjoy lovely views over the old medina, its characteristic rooftops and minarets. It is the perfect place to start the day over breakfast, catch the afternoon sun, or watch it set slowly over Fes.
At dusk the call to prayer echoes from one minaret to the next and the medina lights up — a moment our guests do not forget.
Breakfast included
The breakfast ritual
In Fes, breakfast is never rushed. At Riad La Petite Maison it is served every morning on the terrace, around a green-and-white zellige table, among the plants and ochre walls that glow in the early sun.
Everything is prepared in our kitchen that same morning: golden semolina flatbreads from the pan, eggs cooked in a small clay tagine, a fresh fruit salad topped with a mint leaf, freshly squeezed orange juice. Depending on the day, flaky msemen or spongy baghrir join the table.
Dip your bread in olive oil, move from honey to jam and fresh cheese, try a black olive — and finish, of course, with mint tea poured from a height, as tradition requires. Breakfast is included in every stay, and we are happy to fit the time around your plans.
On the table, every morning
- Mint tea from the silver teapot, or coffee
- Freshly squeezed orange juice
- Eggs cooked in a clay tagine, served hot
- Fresh fruit salad with mint
- Golden semolina flatbreads and homemade bread
- Fresh cheese, black olives, honey, jam and olive oil
Served on the sunny terrace — or in the courtyard, depending on the season — at a time that suits you.
