I just finished a 3-night stay at Riad Celema, and it was truly wonderful! The accommodation was a beautifully decorated oasis, offering a clean and peaceful retreat in the heart of the Medina. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the rooftop every morning, though I wish there had been more variety. Overall, I felt well taken care of by the friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place for its charm and excellent location! 🌟🌴
