La Terrasse des Oliviers - charming and authentic, just as we hoped it would be. Our first impressions on arrival - wow, how lovely! - a dark blue mosiac plunge pool, sitting area stacked with plump red cusions, chiffon drapes and carved dark wood tables and lanterns, lots of lit candles (arrived at 7pm) and tall plants in large pots....

What a gem of a place, the riad is small and beautifully decorated in traditional colours, the food is excellent, rooms spacious and relaxing, service instant. I can not reccommend this place enough, nothing is too much trouble. It is located a 5 minute walk from the souks and about 15-20 minutes from the main square. It is well lit... More

We loved La Terrasse des Oliviers.... I had spent a bit of time surfing the web finding a place vibrant full of colour with a quirky edge & somehow my idea & flavour of a Morrocan experience. Upon first entering the Riad we were overwhelmed by the warmth of hospitality and complete lovelyiness of it all....even though it is fairly... More

There are a gadzillion riads (same as “ryad”) in Marrakech, and gadzillions of dars. (While most use the proper terminology, some may not, so beware. “Riad” means “garden”, which means the inner courtyard will be open-air; “dar” means “house”, so perhaps a better option for the dead of a desert winter.) Make no mistake: Riad La Terrasse des Oliviers is... More

This was our second visit to the Riad, and if anything, it was even better than our first visit. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, especially when they were trying to understand our very poor French! Jacques, as always, was also extremely helpful. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this Riad, the location is perfect for the medina, and... More

The riad was simply beautiful, but really made the stay perfect was the hospitality received from Jacques who was always on hand to provide much needed advice. He was also very good about us changing our dates of stay, and helped us organise a trip to the Atlas mountains. More

Excellent location - central. Friendly welcoming staff who will advise on everything from finding your way around the souks to where to go for dinner. Jacques made us feel very welcome. Breakfast served on terrace was delicious. Cereals, yoghurt, breads and pastries with fresh orange juice and coffee. The riad is beautifully furnished - a lovely home to return to... More

We had originally booked to stay at La Terasse des Oliviers in April but had to cancel due to our flights being cancelled because of the volcanic ash cloud.We thought we had lost out as we had booked independently, but Easyjet offered refund or transfer and we were very lucky in that the owner of Terrasse des Oliviers ,Jacques, emailed...

My wife and I have just returned from visiting Riad La Terrasse des Oliviers for 3 days. I was quite apprehensive after the reviews I had read! We stayed on the ground floor in the Salem suite, which suited our needs perfectly. Clean lovely decor and large enough for our needs. The staff were all friendly and helpful, people who... More
