Très bon moment en famille dans le Riad L’empire idéalement situé dans la Kasbah à 50metres des tombeaux saadiens et à 15 minutes à pied de la place. Très bonne communication avec Leïla la propriétaire, et excellent accueil d’Aziza qui gère avec brio le quotidien dans le Riad. Épaulée par Amina elles peuvent vous préparer petit déjeuner et dîner.Le Riad dispose d’une chambre en bas, et de 4 chambres au premier niveau. Une cuisine est dispo en bas, ainsi que sur la Terrasse du Riad en haut. Il y a également le jaccuzzi et une terrasse sympathique.Nous reviendrons avec plaisir au Riad l’empire et le conseillons chaleureusement !
