A fantastic stay in Fes!
Pros:

From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed by Amina and her husband.
The breakfast was simply delicious, genuine, and complete (eggs, fruit, cheese, olives, sweets). The mint tea was always amazing: the best we’ve ever had.
Both Amina and her husband were attentive to our needs and kindly did everything they could to help us. Shukran!
The beds were very comfortable, and it truly felt like being part of the family.
The location is also very central!
Highly recommended!
