Heart of Medina

Riad Persephone is in the old Medina, the historic walled city. It is right in the heart of the old Medina of Marrakech, a 5-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa square and Souk El Bahja. Nearby landmarks include Palacio da Bahia (0.5 km), Dar Bellarj (0.5 km), and Le Jardin Secret (1 km).

“The location places you steps from the square, and the vibrant colours of traditional design create an authentic feel; it's a charming, slightly rustic experience. I think the courtyard offers a tranquil respite, and the rooftop provides views, though some areas could use some love. I'd say this riad is a solid choice for anyone seeking a true taste of Marrakech.”
