Riyad Al Moussika - Clients' comments

I had a most wonderful visit during a most stressful time.
Meeting you at Riyad Al Moussika and the hospitality of Kahlid (chef) and staff were very welcome at this time in my life.

I hope you are well and please continue your wonderful presence and take good care of yourself.

Back in Lisbon I would like to thank you for the magnificent time we have spent at Riyad Al Moussika. Please extend our gratitude also to Khalid and his excellent haute cuisine, responsible for a few kilos more.
Be sure that I dont want to stay anywhere else when in Marrakech but at Riyad Al Moussika and i do hope to see you soon.
If you do come to Lisbon make sure to let me know about it.
With my warmest regards,

Sono un vostro soddisfattissimo cliente.
Sono stato a Capodanno nel fantastico Riad Al Moussika a Marrakeck.

I booked the trip as a 40th birthday present for my partner and it was everything and more than i had expected. The Riyad is just so beautiful, everything about it is peaceful and relaxing & to be honest i could have just stayed in there the whole time and enjoyed the surroundings.
I would highly recommend Al Moussika, it is a very special place and we are already discussing going back for a weekend next year.

Ho vissuto una settimana bellissima assieme a voi, e ad essere sincera, malgrado fossi da sola non mi sono mai sentita tale: in qualsiasi momento eravate presenti con le vostre attenzioni e la vostra professionalità.
I ragazzi sono sempre stati gentilissimi e affettuosi.
La cena per il mio compleanno deliziosa, tanto che ho promesso di ritornare a farmi "coccolare" una sera nel prossimo inverno, visto che ho deciso di ritornare.

Se qui a Venezia, si viene svegliati dalle campane delle chiese, a Marrakech dal muhezin che chiama alla preghiera, dal gallo col suo chiccherichi e dal cinguettio degli uccelli svolazzanti del giardino.
Il mio sonno veniva accompagnato dal rumore dell'acqua della fontana nella piscina.
Quando uscivo dal riyad , incontravo nella "calletta" almeno una quindicini di ragazzini che gridavano giocando e sul "campo" le ragazzine con il loro bon jour ....Tutto è stato accogliente e indimenticabile grazie a voi , non mancherò di suggerire la vostra casa in qualsiasi prossima occasione.
Cordialmente

We had a great time in Marrakech and Riad Al Moussika. We were really spoiled as Mr. Robazza promised us at the first day.
The food was excellent, I was put on nearly four pounds (;-))
We've felt really in love with Marrakech. And we are coming back for sure to Riad Al Moussika.
Thank you again for your great support.

We wish to thank you once again for your hospitality and the marvelous weeekend we spent at your Ryad 'Al Moussika'.

It is a beautiful place you have created, perfect in all its details, from the gorgeous colors in the tadelac walls to the sumptuous comfort of the rooms.

We slept and ate as kings, the cooking is outstanding and and the mattress & pillows are the best we've slept in a very long time.

We definitely hope to be back soon for a trip to the mountains and a well deserved hammam, which was also an unforgettable experience.

Until then we wish you all the best for the newcoming year.

Yours,
T. C. and R. A. (Portugal), January 2004

I have just returned from my stay at the Riyad Al Moussika in Marrakech. I cannot tell you how pleased we were with the Riyad, the accomodation, the food and the service from the staff. The owner is a delight -- and his staff is wonderful! I would give the Riyad Al Moussika my highest recommendation for anyone traveling to Marrakech.

Kind regards,

Scriviamo dopo un po' di tempo dalla nostra visita, ma abbiamo mantenuto vivissimo il ricordo della splendida vacanza passata presso il Riyad Al Moussika. 
Vi ringraziamo ancora una volta per tutta l'attenzione che ci avete dedicato, e per la cura, davvero unica, per tutti i dettagli della nostra permanenza.

P. e M. T . (March 2004, Italy)

Riyad Al Moussika is a truly special place. Really splendid décor, wonderful staff and fabulous food - an ultimate pampering experience!

It will always be a really special place for us as we got engaged on the Riyad's roof-top terrace, and the owner and his staff really went to great lengths to make our day extra special. We can't thank you enough and will be hoping to come back soon.

M & J, March 2004 (UK)

Thank you very much for your hospitality at riyad al Moussika. Our welcome was a highlight of our visit to Marrakesh. The house was like an oasis of peace and tranquility in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the streets outside. In fact, the comfort of Al Moussika and our care by the lovely boys made us wish we could have stayed much much longer. Good luck also to Khalid with his superb cooking. Please don't let him move on anywhere else, he is far too valuable.

Our three sons were extremely pleased with their babouches. So far as I know, they never take them off and fortunately, after all our worrying, all the sizes seem to be right. (...) I miss Marrakesh hugely. I do hope we can come back.

Thank you so much for all your insight and guidance, especially on where to eat and what not to visit!

Best regards

There was a willingness to look after your guests.
Susan loved the pool and wants one just like it.
Tammy enjoyed the atmosphere you have created.
I thought the food was the best!!!
Riyad Al Moussika will always be remembered by us.

GRAZIE

A slightly belated email to thank you for being an excellent host during our stay in your beautiful riad. We loved the way you decorated the various rooms, especially our "blue room" with its fabulous carpets and fantastic bathroom. The meal in the riad on the evening of our arrival was lovely and so where the meals in the restaurants that you recommended. The Moroccan one with the roof terrace overlooking the Medina we especially liked although the quantity of food was unbelievable (make sure you warn future guest not to eat all the starters, however nice they are!). We had a very relaxing time (we even used your pool, the hammam and the roof terrace) and definitely enjoyed our trips to the suks. Many compliments as well to the staff who were all very friendly and helpful. We hope to come back very soon, most likely with the children.
Many thanks!

Best regards,

We promised you a letter about our stay in your beautiful Riyad. We had never been to Marrakech, and we were delighted beyond measure by the city, and the Medina, and especially by the peaceful surroundings of Al Moussika and the warm welcome accorded us by your staff. We are both adept in the art of assessing the quality of an organization, and we were greatly impressed by the superb quality of every aspect of the service we were given throughout our stay: nothing was too much trouble, nothing was left undone; in every particular your staff saw to it that our stay would be restful, trouble-free and delightful. From the first night, when you so kindly laid on dinner for us because of the timing of our flights into Marrakech, to the last morning, when despite the very early hour, we were provided with a drink and a personal goodbye, we had nothing but the highest praise for the unobtrusive effectiveness and skilful organization with which your enterprise is run. Moreover, the riyad has been meticulously and lovingly restored in a way that perfectly reflects the quality of the service. All the elements of traditional Maroccan design have been superbly realized to produce a harmonious whole, with a very strong historical atmosphere, well complemented by modern facilities that do not obtrude. One of the letters we saw described you as a pedant – given the quality of the surroundings in Al Moussika, we prefer to consider you as a perfectionist. We were particularly pleased with your recommendation of Dar Zellij for our last evening meal – this proved to be well up to the exactingly high standards of your own cuisine, in a most pleasant traditional milieu. Please accept our very grateful thanks for all you did to make our stay so memorable, and pass on our thanks also to your staff.

All best wishes
Yours sincerely

Hi
Sorry not to have e-mailed before. I just wanted to tell you that David and I had a fantastic stay in February. Everything was faultless, delicious breakfasts and lunches, great rooms and wonderful staff who could not have done more to ensure that we had a great time. Thank you for your recommendations of restaurants- but I am sure none of the restaurants matched Kahlids fantastic dishes.
We are recommending a visit to Marrakech to all our friends and family but only if they stay in the paradise that is Riyad al Moussika.

Thank you-we will certainly visit again

Gent.mo Sig. Robazza,
desidero confermarLe per iscritto quanto io e mia moglie unitamente ai ns.amici abbiamo apprezzato la Sua ospitalità nonché la simpatia Sua e quella dei suoi collaboratori .
L’ambiente e l’atmosfera che Lei ha saputo creare unitamente all’amichevole professionalità dei suoi collaboratori ci ha permesso di vivere il Riyad con tutto il piacere e la serenità della “ns.casa di Marrakech”.
Oramai il ns. desiderio di ritornare a Marrakech non può più essere disgiunto dal desiderio di ritornare a Riyad Al Moussika che siamo sicuri poter vivere con tutto il piacere che ti può dare la tua casa.
Da goloso e da modesto cultore di gastronomia non posso fare a meno di ricordare le splendide colazioni ed i deliziosi “light lunch” nonché la magnifica cena servitaci al ns.arrivo. Posso, in piena coscienza, affermare, e Lei ben sa quali sono i miei riferimenti, che la qualità della cucina, sia come sostanza che come presentazione dei piatti, è stata al livello, se non in alcuni casi superiore, dei migliori ristoranti di Marrakech. Ancora complementi allo Chef.
Per quanto poi al mio interesse alla cucina marocchina, causa gli impegni di lavoro che al mio rientro a Bologna mi hanno assalito, non ho potuto ancora procedere alla stesura dell’articolo di cui Le avevo accennato. Cercherò comunque al più presto di incontrarmi con il mio amico giornalista, Giancarlo Roversi, per realizzare quanto da me desiderato.
La ringrazio ancora della Sua ospitalità , delle Sue attenzioni, delle Sue cortesie e con l’augurio di poterci rivedere prima possibile al Riyad Io e mia moglie La salutiamo caramente.

C.&L. T. (Bologna, Agosto 2008)
