THINGS ABOUT RIAD PUCHKA
The riad is a haven of peace when you come in from the hustle and bustle of the medina. We've gone to great pains to ensure that everything is in place so as to enable you to have the most pleasant stay possible: you have free acces to the whole riad, including a sundeck, a barbecue, a gym, an American pool table, several lounges, a jacuzzi and a swimming pool. Riad Puchka is the ONLY guest house to have BOTH a real swimming pool (2 meters deep) and the jacuzzi. Watch out for so-called swimming pools, most often they are more wading pools than anything else.
You can swim fairly comfortably from April to October, where the temperature of the water varies between 20 and 32 degrees.

FIRST FLOOR:
Leaving the swarming throng outside you enter into another world and suddenly experience an unbeleivable serenity. Walking through the traditional main entrance hall you glance at the amazing kitchen and discover the magnificent pillar-lined patio of over 100 square meters. You walk on “bejmat” (traditional Moroccan floor tiling), wonder at the hand sculpted freizes, zellige covered walls and incredible hand-painted ceilings inspired by Moroccan palaces. Plants and flowers adorn the swimming pool (7m x 3m x 2 m deep) and jacuzzi, the fountain gurgles, you make a stop at the wishing well, stroll by the magnificent European-style dining room and are soon enjoying a drink* of your choice comfortably installed on the Moroccan sofa in front of the bar. *Alcohol is heavily taxed in Morocco, therefore prices are similar to those in Europe. Please ask for prices before ordering
