Ottima posizione all'interno della medina, con la comodità di poter parcheggiare gratuitamente nelle vicinanze. La struttura è una vera oasi di pace tra i vicoli di El Jadida. Siham e Fabienne sono estremamente gentili, disponibili e accoglienti, e ti fanno sentire subito a casa. Si sono inoltre prodigate per aiutarci quando abbiamo dimenticato alcuni oggetti di valore affettivo, organizzandone la restituzione tramite corriere. Un'ospitalità davvero speciale, che ha reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più piacevole.
La gentillesse de Fabienne et Silha,très attentionnées,un petit déjeuner royal !!

Très beau Riad avec beaucoup de charme et très bien situé. L’accueil et l’attention de chaque instant est exceptionnel. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux.
Tout est vraiment parfait.
The host was very gracious and couldnt be more helpful and knowledgeable. The Riad is located just inside the Medina and parking nearby. We really enjoyed our time at this Riad. Highly recommended.
Una camera da fiaba. Da mille e una notte.

Incroyable séjour, Siham et Fabienne sont d’une gentillesse exceptionnelle
Zeer smaakvol ingericht en fantastisch ontbijt! Naast thee ook nog fruit om ons te verwelkomen.
Alles was prima
una colazione ricca e abbondante, completa di ogni leccornia. Omelette appena fatta, yogurt ai mirtilli freschissimo, marmellate, miele burro e i tipici "semen" e "baghrir" buonissimi. Persino il pane caldo di forno.
Nulla
L’ospitalità di Siham e Fabienne è qualcosa di unico, non solo in Marocco ma ovunque. Siamo stati una sola notte di passaggio, da Fes a Marrakech, ma è bastata per farci innamorare di questo riad curatissimo: avevamo un intero piano a disposizione e una colazione ricchissima preparata alle 6:30 per permetterci di partire alle 7. Fabienne, alle 7 di mattina, ci ha anche accompagnati al taxi, occupandosi di parlare con il conducente e contrattare il prezzo. La sera prima, invece, Siham ci ha organizzato uno splendido aperitivo sulla nostra terrazza privata, con ottimo rosé e stuzzichini. Non oso immaginare come sarebbe stato fermarsi più a lungo: davvero super consigliato.
Niente, tutto davvero perfetto
L'emplacement près des remparts en plein centre-ville

Das Riad Siham war das bisher schönste und komfortabelste Riad unserer Marokko-Rundreise. Fabienne holte uns von einem öffentlichen Parkplatz ab und geleitete uns die restlichen Meter zum Riad. Wir wurden sehr freundlich mit Minztee auf der Terrasse von Siham und Fabienne begrüßt. Sehr praktisch war, dass das Riad über eine Waschmaschine verfügt, welche wir nutzen durften. Fabienne bestand darauf, dass sie für uns die Wäsche macht, während wir El Jadid erkundeten. Vielen lieben Dank, Fabienne. Wir haben in super bequemen Betten geschlafen. Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll und liebevoll mit Antiquitäten eingerichtet und trotzdem sehr modern und funktional. Das Frühstück war phänomenal. Es gab alles, was das Herz begehrt und es war auch noch sehr nachhaltig. Es gab sogar Stoffservietten. Und der Hund Chicco war sehr süß. Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir mal wieder in Marokko sind.
Wunderschönes Riad und tolle Ausstattung; das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich Alles war sehr detailliert und liebevoll eingerichtet; das Frühstück war sehr lecker, alles frisch zubereitet und schmeckte außerordentlich gut. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.
Riad Siham est un lieu d’exception, où la magie des maisons traditionnelles est subtilement préservée et sublimée par l’exigence et le sens du détail de sa propriétaire, Fabienne. Je recommande vivement cette adresse, qui allie authenticité, élégance et excellence hôtelière.
Bien placé, le riad est magnifiquement rénové et entretenu. La décoration et le confort proposé sont exceptionnels à tout point de vue. Il faut aussi noter l'accueil très sympathique de Fabienne et Siham, ainsi que le remarquable petit déjeuner servi avec le sourire... nous ne manquerons pas de revenir un peu plus longtemps dans cet havre de paix.
Tout était vraiment parfait !
On se sent vraiment comme à la maison. Siham est tellement chaleureuse et agréable. Et quel petit déjeuner ! 5 étoiles! Literie très confortable et petite terrasse intime très appréciée. La cafetière et la bouilloire avec ce qu'il faut pour se préparer une boisson chaude est un petit plus. Le mini frigo également.
Je n'avais pas bien compris que la salle de bain n'est pas dans la chambre. Mais comme nous étions seuls ça n'a pas eu d'impact sur notre séjour.
sehr freundlicher Empfang, super Frühstück, komme gerne wieder
Siham hat uns eine wunderbare Zeit ermöglicht. Es war alles sehr sauber und liebevoll vorbereitet. Es handelt sich um eine prächtige Ausstattung mit vielen Details. Wir fühlten uns sehr willkommen und wohl. Wir fanden mehr Komfort vor wie üblich. Das Frühstück mit frischem Obst war der Hammer.
Superbement placé dans la cité portugaise, et à deux pas d'un parking public. Juste deux chambres, et cette fois ci nous étions tout seul. C'est fabienne qui nous a accueilli dans sa maison et qui nous a régalé d'un très bon petit déjeuner.
Fabienne and Siham were very welcoming and generous hosts during our stay at Riad Siham. The riad is tastefully decorated with beautiful curation of objects. The bedroom was generously proportioned with a private terrace and a very comfy bed. The bathroom and toilet are outside the bedroom but as with all stays you are given exclusive access to the facilities on the first floor adjacent to your room as only one booking is taken at a time. The breakfast was amazing every morning with omelettes, fruits, pastries and breads - delicious and excellent coffee. The riad is located just inside the wall of the medina, close to the sea and local markets. A great stay and highly recommended, thanks Fabienne and Siham for sharing your beautiful riad.
The breakfast, the staff, the decorations
They have dog parking all the time, the bathroom was out side the room and the shower room. The location scary at night
The through communication and warm welcome from the hosts, Siham and Fabienne, was great. I appreciated all the information on how to drive to the Riad. The location is superb and peaceful.
It would be helpful to have a garbage can in the room. For those who drive, it would be good to know that we have to pay a small parking fee. I was surprised to be approached by a parking attendant hours for payment, hours after my arrival. Not a big problem.
Location meravigliosa, stanza da letto da una parte, bagno e doccia dall'altra parte, tutte su uno stesso piano, tipo mini appartamento e con un terrazzino molto gradevole. La doccia è un' esperienza, incantevole e con prodotti per il corpo di grande qualità. Colazione super, buonissima! La signora Fabienne vi accoglierà con molta gentilezza. Perfetto!
Ambiente tranquilo y familiar, mobiliario y decoración esmerados, desayuno exquisito.
Endroit parfait dans la médina.Tout étais près restaurant , plage, magasin tout se fait à pied .
Das Frühstück, die Dachterrasse und die Lage im alten Portugiesischen Viertel, die große Freundlichkeit von Fabienne und Siham

La maison est facile à trouver. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et bien présenté. Le personnel très disponible Séjour très agréable !

Exceptionally beautiful Riad, with very friendly, welcoming hostesses! Everything was beyond perfect…including the most amazing breakfast of our three week tour of Morocco!!!
The staff was excellent..the breakfast was awesome!
Schöne ruhige Lage mitten in der Altstadt. Gastfreundlich und sehr gutes und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Gutes lokales Restaurant gleich um die Ecke.
Il posto è arredato in maniera spettacolare e Fabienne è un'ospite squisita. La camera era grande e dotata di un terrazzo privato. Era anche provvista di bollitore e macchinetta Nespresso. Il bagno è grande e dotato di tutto ,anche del cotone e del latte detergente . La colazione è stata buona e abbondantissima. Alloggiare al Riad consente di parcheggiare i un'area privata all'interno della cittadella portoghese
Nulla. Segnalo che Google posiziona in modo sbagliato il Riad: non all'interno della cittadella portoghese (dove si trova) ma parecchio fuori.
Gentilezza della signora Fabienne e la sua collaboratrice. Colazione ottima. Casa accogliente e ben arredata.
El Jadida.
Ottima posizione nel cuore della Medina, casa accogliente con colazione marocchina fantastica servita in terrazza. Struttura molto autentica!
Purtroppo le stanze erano un po’ calde, sopratutto quella al piano della terrazza con una grande vetrata che non si chiudeva in nessun modo. Peccato
La posizione centralissima e la colazione di un livello veramente superiore I
Il fatto che la camera non si poteva chiudere non ci ha lasciato tranquilli durante il soggiorno
Tout petit riad (2 chambres) ou nous avions une grande terrasse pour nous seuls La chambre est jolie et le petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux La propriétaire et Siham sont adorables et on se sent vraiment chez soi Très bien situé au cœur de la medina et pré de la plage

Riad Siham è incantevole. Suggerisco il soggiorno a persone in cerca di esperienze autentiche più che di un semplice pernottamento. Il riad è gestito da madame Fabienne e Siham che sono davvero cortesi e gentilissime. Inoltre nel riad risiede un adorabile cagnolino che rende il soggiorno ancora più piacevole. La colazione è deliziosa e ricchissima. Consiglio senz’altro questo riad!
Le petit déjeuner était très bien .
Il n'y avait pas de climatisation ni chambre de bain privée.
On est reçu comme si nous étions de la famille. Tout est dit ! Le dîner et le petit déjeuner est somptueux
La salle de bain n’est pas directement dans la chambre mais tout l’étage est pour nous. Ce n’est donc pas un problème.
Très bon accueil, emplacement dans la splendide cité Portugaise, à quelques pas de la première porte, mais un peu éloigné de la rue principale pour avoir le calme. Chambre sur la terrasse, très bien décorée. Riad authentique comme dans notre imagination. Très bon petit déjeuner. El Jadida est à visiter. Merci à notre hôte.
Rien, c'était parfait.
Bery warm reception. Wonderful breakfasts. We stayed 2nights.
All was great
Lovely hosts, beautiful home, incredible breakfast!
Good position in the middle of the Portuguese city
Absolutely exceptional experience at Riad Siham in El Jadida – we only stayed one night, but it was unforgettable! 🌟 From the moment we arrived, our host welcomed us with such warmth, generosity, and genuine hospitality that we instantly felt at home. The Riad itself is a beautifully restored gem—full of character, charm, and thoughtful details that show the love and care put into every corner. Reading the previous reviews, we had high expectations—and yet, the reality exceeded them! Every kind word written before about the host's kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail is 100% true. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more. A truly heartwarming stay, even if short. If you're lucky enough to book a night here—do it. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve been taken in by family. 🌿💛
Best breakfast in 15 days of travel in Morocco.most helpful host. Beautifully decorated Riad. Central location . Wonderful beach a taxi ride away.
It was a perfect setup for us but does involve steps. Not suitable for people with mobility problems.
beautiful hall and interior, super friendly staff (tea and coffee and cute puppy on arrival) and superb breakfast; very very good dinner just around the corner
This was one of the best Riad's that we stayed at. It's a beautiful place. The breakfast was AMAZING and so was our hostess. We can highly recommend this and if we ever visited again, this would be our stop.

Beautiful lovely traditional house Amazing decorations and thought over details
The Riad is beautifully decorated. It has a few lovely terraces with great views. The breakfast was amazing!
Fabienne and Siham were fantastic hosts. The riad itself was immaculate, with an elegant touch and an eye for detail. From the tiles to the hand painted doors, it was exquisite. The breakfasts were delicious and included an omelet, fresh fruit, Moroccan breads, dried fruit and nuts, and cheeses. We also enjoyed a fantastic dinner prepared by Siham and Fabienne. Not only were the hosts and riad terrific, but so was the Cite Portugaise and Azzemour. More people should visit El Jadida.
It was all terrific.
The Riad Siham is a delicious small riad located right inside the Portuguese citadel (be aware that Google gives the wrong position of it!! It is inside the citadel!!!). The owner, Fabienne, is a lovely French lady and made us feel like being part of her family. The room and the facility are truly adorable and our stay has been absolutely unforgettable! A special mention to the variety and quality of the breakfast, that's really superlative. If you go to El Jadida, this is an ABSOLUTE MUST GO place!!! You will never regret!!!
Absolutely nothing!!!
The location is at same time good brcause of portuguese neighborhood and cistern but it is tricky to find. Very friendly staff!
It was tricky to find the property and parking
Excellent stay! Very recommended! Everything just perfect! Best breakfast during our trip in Morocco. Everything top of the top! We will come back!
The Riad was beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace. The room was lovely, and the hosts really warm, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was the best breakfast in my three-week visit to Morocco. Generous and delicious. The location was great and the instructions to find the Riad were easy to follow.

Amazing Riad in Cité Portugaise. Beautiful decoration and details. Great terrase. Family type with two rooms. Our room had a small patio. Best breakfast in our tour of Morocco.

Very helpful staff, super breakfast, very quiet, great location.
Amazing individual attention from Siham and lots of very nice small touches. Best breakfast on our trip and that's against some serious competition. Fabulous sunny terrace on top of a beautifully decorated Riad.
Nothing to add
Sahim gave us the most wonderful welcome. The breakfast was delicious. The decor of the building is fabulous and well thought through.
The room we stayed in was very small. We had to move the chairs and table outside so we could unpack. I’m sure the rest of the property was lovely but our room felt like overflow accommodation
Siham is an incredible and thoughtful host. She thought of everything, there were so many little touches that made this one of my favorite riads. I definitely recommend it.
It was perfect. I can't think of anything I'd change.
Clean, safe, friendly. Great location. Fabienne helped us with our train tickets & taxis. She also took us to Ammazour for a day. The breakfasts were very fresh and filling. Sahim cooked us a beautiful fresh fish dinner one night…served on the rooftop patio. The tajine meal we had at the market was one of the best we have had in Morocco.

We were warmly welcomed, breakfast was amazing, the room, the whole house and facilities were gorgious. The location is also great right in the old city centre.

Riad Siham is the perfect stay in the Portuguese Citadel. Fabienne and Siham are unsurpassable in kindness and dedication. The value for money is really great, the breakfast is huge, every details of the riad are amazing, wonderful terrace. We would like to return one day.
everything was perfect.
The incredible hospitality of Fabienne and Siham- they have thought of the smallest details to make your stay special and comfortable. Our arrival and departure were handled with such care and thoughtfulness. The FOOD-incredible! Dinner and breakfast were the best we have had in Morocco. The beauty of the property- a work of art! It was so clean and so many nice touches, like robes, slippers and cold mineral water in the fridge. It was an exceptional stay!! Highly recommend!

Owner Fabienne was lovely and very helpful. Wonderful breakfast, including the delicious French cheeses and fruit. Beautiful Riad. Amazing interior. Beautiful modern bathroom with our room.
Small bedroom was very hot and stuffy. Only a sliding glass door that didn't lock. Sun heated room all day. And at night Fabienne said keep door closed so cat wouldn't enter. So felt like a sauna. Fabienne provided a fan but it was too small and ineffective. (We noticed an unused portable A/C on the main floor so too bad that couldn't have used to at least get the hot air out before bedtime). Also, despite the beautiful bathroom, there was a stench. Could've been because of the heat/humidity. Finding Riad is a bit confusing. There's another Riad in El Jadida called Riad Siham that comes up when you search Google Maps and it's nowhere near the old city. So be sure to avoid that. (Fabienne tells you not to rely on Google Maps to get to her for that reason.) Just follow the instructions Fabienne messages to you to come to old city and meet her. Note that it is easier to meet Fabienne in front of the church when you first walk into the old city, not the police station which is further down the street and not easily noticeable. Hotel prices on El Jadida seem higher than most other places in Morocco. Fabienne's price is in line with El Jadida.
Very kind hostess who was very helpful with local sights to see and nearby restaurants. Beautiful room (especially the carved doors) with private terrace. Located right in the centre of the Cite Portugaise, with a short walk to the beach and high street. Gowns and slippers were provided too! Breakfast was brought up onto the rooftop for us, which made for a lovely setting.
Separate bathroom from the room but only a short distance away on the same floor. No air conditioning in the room but a fan was provided. We couldn't find a bin in the room either.
An outstanding Riad right at the heart of the most beautiful neighborhood in El Jadida. The decoration is astonishing and you can feel a personal touch in every corner and in every single object. But what really made our stay unique was Siham’s sweet and discreet presence. Her care for the smallest detail, the wonderful breakfast, the delicious dinner on the romantic terrace, everything will remain unforgettable.

Fabienne is an amazing host She is also a very good cook The location is very good as well
A little gem in the Medina with fabulous hosts (Siham and Fabienne). We had 2 lovely dinners on the roof and the breakfasts were very tasty. If looking for a 5 star hotel this won’t be you - is old rustic and gorgeous- excellent value and like staying with your favourite Aunty. Fabienne has thought of everything and does all she can to make your experience a great one from sortng a guide to tkaing us on a walk to the fish markets.
no complaints really was one very long pillow on the double bed which took a bit of getting used to but we survived
we stayed at the Riad Siham on the last night of our three week trip to Morocco and it was an excellent choice. I wish we had scheduled an extra night to explore the town more fully as there is a lot to explore there. The Riad is beautiful. our room had a patio. Breakfast included everything one could wish for. Siham was a wonderful hostess.
This riad was absolutely lovely. It is so nicely decorated with lots of attention to details including fridges in the rooms for cold water. Siham was a very friendly host, she shared information about what to see in the area and was very patient with us as we don't speak French. She met us at the carpark and walked us to the riad. She cooked us dinner one evening and her cooking is wonderful. The meal ended with homemade strawberry ice cream! The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. We wished we could have stayed longer.
We liked Siham the friendly host and helpful host. Room and place design is superb, highly recommend
Everything was just perfekt...Siham was wounderful and very nice....the breakfast was the best and the Riad is so lovely with a lot od details...the best in ouer trip in Marocco. I realy recommend it. Thank you for all.
The host Fabienne n Siham very friendly n hospitality. Its a beautiful riad n will definately reconmmend family n friends

Fabienne and Siham were absolutely wonderful hosts.
I can not think of a thing I didn’t like.
Everything. Nothing that my husband and I didn' t like. Fabienne and Siham are little angel. This Riad situated in the portuguese medina is a little treasure. It is close to everything:ocean, souk, restaurants. It is brightnen by natural lights, the bed is so comfy, breadfast is amazing. I felt so at home. If I could give a higher rating I would never think twice. This Riad is paradise and because of the persons there Fabienne and Siham!!!
We had a great stay over New Year's. This is a lovely, beautifully restored riad in the heart of the old city. Fabienne was away for a few days, but we were looked after so well by Siham, her staff.
The beautiful riad with small but exceptionally tasteful and lovingly furnished rooms is very quiet despite its central location in the medina. Fabienne and her staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the served breakfast is exceptionally good.
The rooms are a bit small, but nicely furnished.
The house was beautiful and the room was really nice with a private small terrace.The bed was comfortable. Delicious breakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They waited for us even though we came late past check in time. They offered to make us dinner as well.
The WiFi was not very good. The house is not too easy to find but the staff gave us helpful guideliness.
I have made a reservation for my mom and sister at Riad Siham. All I have heard from them are wonderful things about the Riad cleaness, staff hospitality, professionalism, wonderful and delicious food either that was included ( breakfst) or what they have ordered, all home made with lot of love and passion ❤️. My mom and sister were very pleased and willing to have Riad Siham as their stay home whenever they visit El Jadida 😊 Fabienne & Sihame were wonderful and very friendly. They recommended whatever was a good fit to my family. The neighborhood is nice and safe as well.
Nothing was bad. All was 👍 good
