I moved to Fez after falling in love with it while on holiday, and have now been here more than a decade. I renovated Dar Malika in 2018, and I have set it up to the standard I enjoy myself when I travel.

I have had more than a decade of experience managing holiday rental properties in France, Morocco, Italy and Spain. My team and I will do everything possible to assist your stay.

The house will be yours to enjoy. We are on hand should you have any queries or would like our assistance to arrange tours, transport or meals.

My house manager will meet you at an arranged time and place. He can also come to the house at anytime during your stay to assist you, if required. He may need to water the plants on the terrace during your stay - but will let you know beforehand.

The house is located in the heart of the Fez Medina, just off one of the main streets, Ta'laa K'bira. It's usually quiet apart from bird song, the call to prayer and the neighbours are friendly and welcoming.

We can arrange a transfer from the airport or train station at an additional cost. Parking is available a three minute walk away at upper Ain Azliten. You can catch a taxi from near the Bab Boujloud, or at Batha.

- While smoking is not permitted in the house, it is possible on the terrace.
- Extra guests (maximum 10) are possible with written permission from me.

Great house in an ideal location
This was a great VRBO. The house is very comfortable and is literally in the middle of things in the Fez medina, but only a short walk out to the taxi stand or the main gate. Quiet at night and the rooftop deck is a cool and comfortable place to spend the evenings. Support and response from Si Mohamed and from Suzanna were exceptional. We were picked up from the train station and relayed to the house, where Si Mohamed showed us how things worked and where everything was, and arranged for breakfast each day. There was plenty of room for our family of five and the house is very well equipped and wonderfully furnished. This was one of our family's best experiences in renting a house.

Mitten im marokkanischen Leben
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche mitten in der Medina! Einziges Manko: wegen des Ramadan haben wir kein Frühstück bekommen und mussten unser Essen selbst organisieren. Die Menschen waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder!

Wunderbar mitten in der Altstadt
Wunderbarer Aufenthalt, wunderbares Haus mitten in der Altstadt, Absprachen mit Suzanna , wie Abholung etc. wurden 100% eingehalten und der Hausmanager Si Mohammend war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit... Das Abendessen im Haus war ein Traum. Das Vierte Schlafzimmer ist nicht oben im Haus zum Patio, sondern etwas abgelegen neben der Hauseingangtür

Great location in the Medina!
Thanks a lot to Suzanna and her staff at Dar Malika - we (family with 3 kids) had a really good week in Fès! Everything was organized very well: the pick-up at the airport that we had asked for worked smoothly, we were very well received by the house manager Mohammed, and the dinner we had booked in the house already for the first evening was just marvelous! The house itself is really nice, spacious and comfortable, our personal highlight being the rooftop terrace, where we relaxed in the afternoons. Another highlight was of course the wonderful breakfast, prepared by Mohammed every morning, and the dinners we booked in the house at three occasions! Suzanna was very helpful and responsive at all times, thanks a lot! We can only recommend Dar Malika for a stay in Fès.
