This riad, called "the house of the fig tree", is a house with open patio on two stories, of about 240 sqm. It has been built in 1989 along an old structure, around a giant fig tree. One of the jewels of the medina of Asilah in Morocco, it is surrounded by the famous city walls which border the Atlantic Ocean. Bathed in a profusion of bougainvilleas, banana trees, vines and jasmine bushes, the house is encircled by a medley of aromas. The elegant interior decoration, contrasting African sculpture with Moroccan furniture, creates an atmosphere that is unique and romantic.
