Dar Roumana

This is one of the best all-around packages in the medina: an authentically restored, early-20th-century riad; exceptional medina views from the rooftop terrace; and owners American cordon bleu chef and her flamenco guitarist husband. Jennifer Lapostol endured 3 years of renovation work, much of it conducted personally, before her "House of Pomegranate" was ready for business. During this time, the zellij, stucco, and cedar wood of this once grand dar were brought back to life. Additions were made in the form of a small salon with fireplace, a courtyard fountain, a second rooftop with the view, and completely refitted bathrooms. The result is stunning, with rustic, earthy colors somehow blending perfectly with the more traditional aspects. The romantic Roumana suite includes a claw-foot bathtub for two, while the Qarmousa suite is handy for three-person families with a single bed located on a separate mezzanine level.

To extend the already peaceful atmosphere within, there are no TVs or phones in the rooms, but a satellite TV/DVD is set up in the salon. Jennifer and husband Sebastian have recently handed over the managerial reins to a French-Kiwi couple and experienced chefs Didier and Justine, who are maintaining their employers' dedication to service and eagerness to share their culinary skills.
