We had planned on staying 3 nights but extended to 4 - and will definitely be back! There is nothing I would change about this wonderful Riad. The location, the staff, the rooms, the food - everything was perfect!
We arrived at the main bus station and were met by a staff member who accompanied us to the Riad. We never would have found it on our own! Lunetoile is located at the top of one of the main narrow cobblestone roads that run through the medina. So you can look down this road into all the action and step in and out as you like.
The staff are friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. We do not speak any French (we try!) and their English was limited, but communication was never a problem. The staff are not there all the time, which is actually quite nice - you feel like you are in your home! The owner, Sue, made our trip! We sat down with her a couple of times and planned out our month ahead in Morocco. She has great local knowledge and encourages you to visit the less known places. We arranged car hire with Sue for the trip (recommended if you are moving around a lot and like to follow your own timetable), and she recommended some great places to stay.
Our room was divine! It had gorgeous colour and comfort. It was made up of a very comfortable bed at one end, a sitting area at the other and a gorgeous little bathroom. The decor was stylish Maroc with lots to look at but no clutter. Every little thing was thought of - even a hot water bottle! They boil water and will re-fill bottles, saving on plastic! There was welcome tea and Moroccan delicacies when we arrived. There is a bowl of oranges in the foyer and these great aniseed lollies to help yourself to! The top terrace has an enclosed area that fills with warm sunlight and an open area with sun beds.
Breakfast at Lunetoile was a treat - fresh croissant or pastry of a different sort, bread with jam, orange juice and homemade yoghurt! And of course plenty of coffee and tea.
As i have already said, there is nothing i would change about this Riad. Perfect!
