Dar Lara - Architect's Private Home - Entire Riad

Welcome to Dar Lara!! A historic 15th-century riad being lovingly restored by an American architect as her own home and art studio!

You’ll have Dar Lara all to yourself — no other guests will be sharing the space.

The riad features extremely fast Fiber Optic WiFi, a newly renovated bathroom, a very comfortable bed, and breakfast included! The king sized bed is located upstairs, while the library sitting room on the ground floor can be turned into a Twin XL sized bed for a third guest :)


The Space

At the center of the riad is a sunny courtyard, surrounded by elegant gold doors that lead to the main rooms. On the ground floor, you’ll find a newly updated bathroom, a library sitting room, a small kitchen, and the open-air courtyard—a perfect spot to relax.

The bedroom is on the upper floor, featuring a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress topper and soft linen sheets for a restful night's sleep.

Please note that the bedroom does *NOT* have an en-suite bathroom; the bathroom is located downstairs on the ground floor.

Location :)

Dar Lara is nestled in the most serene and safe neighborhood of the Medina, surrounded by trendy boutiques, rooftop restaurants, and the stunning Madrassa Ben Youssef—an architectural gem just a minute's walk away. You’re also just an 8-minute walk from a taxi stand, a 15-minute walk from Jemma El Fna, and 2 minutes from the entrance to the famous Souks, placing you in the heart of the oldest and nicest part of the Medina.

Dar Lara offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city, providing a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle. It’s the perfect private oasis!
