- Rooftop

The house remembers
History you can sit beside.
We do not present the riad as a museum behind a rope. The old house is used every day: tables are set under carved arches, guests look down from the gallery, workshops spill onto the roof and the details stay close enough to notice.
Look for the hand-cut zellige under your feet, the cedar doors carved with patient geometry, the painted glass above the salon and the woven textures that still belong to Tetouan homes. This is the atmosphere we protect before anything is served.
- Stained glass and carved cedar framing the salon.
- Zellige floors, tiled stairs and hand-painted furniture.
- Textile, clay and zellige workshops inside the same house.
- Rooftop seating for tea, craft sessions and relaxed evenings.
Featured in Villages in White
A Tetouan story shared beyond the Medina.
Dar La Medina and Chef Sara Lahmimar appear in Villages in White, Lannoo's journey through thirty remarkable whitewashed destinations. The feature captures the way we see Tetouan: lived-in, generous and shaped by craft.
It is a welcome reminder that the riad is part of a living city. Come inside for the same details the interview celebrates: family cooking, tiled rooms, working makers and the particular light of Tetouan.

Traditional products gallery
The house also shows what Tetouan makes.
Our gallery of traditional products brings the craft closer: zellige patterns, woven mandil, pottery, leather pieces, fabric work, calligraphy and aromatic plant distillation. Some are displayed in the house, some are taught in workshops, all carry the patience of Moroccan handwork.
