The royal iron canopy bed in the bright spacious front room „Rapunzel“ is a real island for sleep and recreation. Everyone who has tested it, wanted to spend more nights in it.

In the backroom „Rosenrot“ one feels sheltered in the loft bed with canopy like being in a secret hideaway of a castel tower.

THE LIVING CONCEPT OF THE MEDINA: BEING TOGETHER PEACEFUL
You have tranquility in the entire house, also at night! One has to show consideration to the neighbors. In the Medina, (ancient city), one is living together peaceful close to each other. Nobody is disturbing the other one however one is taking notice of each other. Sometimes you hear somebody talking in the patio of the big Riad next-door or one can smell, what delicious is getting cooked.

The two floor house built in the 17th century, located near to the fortress wall „Skala“ and the surf of the Atlantic, is architecturally something special.
