    Dar Seffarine is a beautiful place to stay. Welcoming host, lovely and friendly staff, very well appointed and comfortable. It is a labour of love. Breakfasts were good and sunsets on the terrace sublime.

Company info

We share a passion for learning, studying and exploring all things that involve the preservation and renovation of historic architecture. Through our mutual love of ancient medinas, medieval architecture and Islamic art, we found ourselves the perfect project in Fes, Morocco. Traveling is for us always part of this journey of discovery of exotic and remote cultures. Our focus on design and all its diverse variations, whether minimal Scandinavian (Kate is a Norwegian graphic designer) or maximal ornate Islamic (Alaa is an Iraqi architect) makes for the perfect team.

Property info

Dar Seffarine is a historic building in the heart of Medieval Medina of Fes, located next to the Quaraouiyine Mosque. Beyond high walls and a discrete doorway, you will be led through a glowing courtyard, into the ancient palace of Dar Seffarine The atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility, with only the echoing, mysterious call to prayer penetrating the thick walls. Standing in the central courtyard open to the sky, you are surrounded by soaring columns, richly decorated with carved plasterwork. The impressive four meter high doors on the surrounding salons are made of cedar, painted with intricate geometric designs. On the floor is a mix of traditional 'zellij' mosaic and marble. The simple, tasteful furnishing allows the grandeur of the architecture to take central stage. Each room has been carefully restored to its former glory. They all feature their original zellij (mosaic tiling) floors and cedar wood ceilings, as well as the original old windows and doors. It is now one of the best examples of a traditional building in World Herritage listed in Fez.
