In the Medina ,what is essential is invisible and what is most beautiful remains hidden

Riad Louna is a traditional guest house in the Medina, or old walled city, of Fez. Riad Louna receives you with the finest Fassi tradition of hospitality in a beautiful setting. Surrounding the courtyard fountain stand orange and lemon trees. Around the garden are the guest suites, accessed by doors of carved cedar wood, each four meters in height. Upstairs, two terraces provide panoramic views of the Medina and afford comfortable seating open to the breeze. the Riad is decorated with traditional glazed tile work (known as Zellij), carved plaster and cedar wood ceilings. Together, these elements characterize classical Arabic-Islamic architecture and design in morocco.

Riad Louna was fully restored in 2001. The house is in perfect harmony with the surrounding Medina of fez, witch had been declared an international cultural heritage site by UNESCO. Riad Louna is located near the Medina's main gate, Bab Boujloud.

It is easily accessed by car and public transportation, while still enjoying the seclusion of the Medina. the alley giving access to the Riad is located just before the magnificent Madrassa Bounania, a medieval college that is recently restored to its architectural splendor, and also near Sidi Azouz, one of fez' oldest Hammams or traditional baths. In the Riad, you will feel the profound calm and freshness of the garden in the midst of the old city where no traffic clamor disturbs the quit music of the fountain.
