A lovely place, lovely host

After a short taxi ride arranged by the owners, we were met by our charming local host, Laurence who, with the help of a porter led us through the myriad back alleys of the medina to a lovely house. The next day a young woman prepared us breakfast, and when we asked, a yummy dinner. Other than the initially off-putting state and smells of the area which one gets used to very quickly, it was a great stay. Manyn thanks especially to Laurence.

Property from inside is good, but it is smack in the middle of the medina so beware of people trying to take advantage of you. All points of interest at walking distance. Fes is overall noisy and polluted if you stay inside the medina. Little bit overwhelming.

The host communicated in French as does Fatima who meets you at the VRBO. As an English only speaker it was not a problem using a translator online. Fatima is very patient and has some English. We enjoyed the Dar very much. A/C was great, views were superb, rooms and bathrooms were clean. The only thing missing was hair or body gel for showers. There was hand soap. Fatima was able to get us some after asking. She also arranged a tour guide, taxis and even dinner upon our request. She made a fantastic tangine with meatballs and eggs. My wife had a hamman arranged by Fatima. A person comes from the salon to guide you to the salon and back. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it! My wife is gluten free so Fatima accommodated with gluten free pancakes. There are boys playing soccer in the courtyard nearly all the time which is fun to see as you come and go through the tunnel and gate. This is a true experience. If you want to have an oasis in the Medina then you will love this charming unique Dar oozing with character. Be aware it does have many steps and covers 4 floors from top to bottom. We loved that!!

What a lovely, memorable place

It’s difficult to describe how nice our stay in Fes was. This house is magical. Communication with Christophe was easy, and he even set up a ride for us to Volubilis (must-see). Just be sure that the taxi driver understands the price you’ll pay before you head anywhere, in case of miscommunication. We could watch/listen to the call to prayer in the morning and evening. Stunning. Fati was there to meet us and walk us up through the winding “streets” of Fes (about 5 min) to the riad. What’s more, simply put, Fati’s home-cooked meals were the favorite food of our entire week in Morocco. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will return!

Coolest VRBO ever

I can't say enough good things about this place. It was absolutely stunning with a beautiful terrace. The floors have been done like some of the palaces we visited and the antique doors and furniture were gorgeous. The kitchen was small but had everything needed if you wanted to cook. We didn't have to cook because we paid for dinner which was absolutely delicious and lasted us two nights. Every morning a sweet girl came and made us a fresh breakfast of fruit, eggs, crepes and other things. She served us coffee and tea and cleaned up as well. It was so wonderful not to have to worry about all that! Another lady Laurence came and checked in on us every morning before we ventured out which was nice because we could ask any questions that we had. It was walkable to the Medina and all tourist attractions. We did rent a car to take us to the lookout but everywhere else we walked. There is heat and air in the bedrooms and dining area. The showers are nice and bedrooms are roomy. Our bed was quite firm but our daughters bed was soft. There are 16 steep and tall steps to the bedrooms and more to the washer and dryer and terrace. But it was worth it. It is by a school so we interrupted a few soccer games lol. It is down a short alley that is quite dark at night. The only complaint I had about this stay was when we went to shower the towels were wet. Not damp, wet. We couldn't dry off with them so had to throw them in the dryer and wait. But rent this place if you stay in Fes! You won't regret it.

Belle maison dans un quartier dépaysant

Belle maison très bien équipée et qui correspond tout à fait à l'annonce. On ne s'attend pas à se trouver dans une maison si tranquille vu que l'access se fait par une série de ruelles sombres et malodorantes et que le quartier n'est pas du tout touristique. Fati, qui est venue nous chercher au parking, s'est occupée de nous très gentiment pendant notre séjour et nous a préparé un repas délicieux la veille de notre départ. De la terrasse il y a une belle vue sur la ville, mais la proximité des tanneries se fait parfois sentir.

Lovely traditional Dar in Fes Medina

Staying at Dar Seffah was an amazing experience made even better by the hosts (Laurence and Bernard). They went out of their way to welcome us (at 1:00 am), set us up with maps of the Medina, gave excellent restaurant recommendations and helped organize our excursions. The dar itself was lovely. Very traditional but with lots of modem touches and amenities. The roof deck was an amazing way to end the day and relax. The breakfasts prepared every morning by Miriam were delicious and the perfect way to start the day. If you decide to take a tour, asking the hosts to organize a driver and ask for Mohammed. He took us on two outings and was a wonderful guide. All in all, we highly recommend Dar Seffah for any stay in Fes, especially if it's your first time visiting.

Super helpful

Our host, Laurence, was super helpful. It took us some time to get in to the house, but once in, we found the house spacious and comfortable. The daily breakfast was a nice touch. Couple of niggly bits: with a faulty WC, which they are going to fix, and no shower screen, which meant the floor on one bathroom was wet after showering.

Perfect Traditional Morocco

This house met all of the needs for our family of 5, including 3 small children. Being 5 minutes from the tanneries and parking, but nestled well within the Medina, it was perfectly positioned for walking with our little ones. The house provided ample space for the children to play. The breakfasts were large and delicious. The dinner that we had prepared for our arrival was large, delicious and exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. Our host was wonderfully friendly and warm, but most of all she was helpful when we needed it most. All of us felt perfectly at-home in this traditional Moroccan home.

Bien être et convivialité

Quel accueil! Nous nous sommes sentis à notre aise durant la semaine passée au dar seffah. La location est charmante et bien située dans la médina. Laurence et Bernard ont été merveilleux par leur souci permanent de savoir si nous avions besoin de quelque chose, par l'organisation de nos sorties, par leur présence et leurs conseils… Merci vraiment à eux! Ainsi qu'à Ouda pour les petits déjeunes et les repas que nous avons pris à la maison. Dès le départ, Emmanuel répondait rapidement à toutes nos questions. Nous étions avec 3 enfants (14, 11 et 4 ans) et la locations est vraiment agréable avec des enfants, ils se sont régalés avec la nourriture et au sein de la médina. Merci encore! Peut-être à une prochaine fois!

Magnifique séjour à Fes

Nous avons été parfaitement accueillis et conseillés par Bernard et Laurence sur place. Le petit déjeuner servi par Ouda est délicieux et pantagruélique. La maison est très bien placée dans la médina, jolie et confortable. Seul petit bémol, nous avons quelque peu souffert d'une température trop fraîche dans les pièces non chauffées. Le quartier est très pittoresque, les habitants accueillants. Nous avons adoré déambuler dans la médina et profiter des excursions proposées par Laurence.

Accueil excellent de la part de Bernard et Laurence (qui vivent sur place dans un autre Dar) pour faciliter l'installation et le séjour dans la maison. Celle-ci est d'ailleurs très bien restaurée, dans un esprit d'authenticité et d'esthétisme traditionnel Marocain. Le petit déjeuner proposé et mis en place par Ouda participe aussi de la qualité de cet accueil, tout en étant naturel et chaleureux.

Un havre de paix au cœur de la Médina de Fès

Caché au fond d'une petite ruelle très calme, le Riad Dar Seffah est idéalement placé pour découvrir la Médina de Fès. Nous y avons séjourné 1 semaine pour le changement d'année, avec 2 enfants de moins de 10 ans. Emmanuel a répondu à nos questions avant le départ, et sur place, Laurence et Bernard ont fait preuve d'un accueil très chaleureux et d'une bienveillance indiscutable, qui ont contribué au parfait déroulement de notre séjour. Nous avons pu également découvrir Meknès, Volubilis et Ifrane, grâce à un chauffeur mis à notre disposition. N'hésitez plus !
