Surely there is no shortage of beautiful courtyards and rooftops in Morocco, yet Dar Cherifa feels like a special blessing.
The quiet beauty of the 15th century riad that hosts a literary café and a cultural center is well hidden in the depths of the medina, off the beaten tourist track. You can have lunch in the shade on the roof while enjoying a view on the gorgeous patio where the giant cushions laid out seem to hold promises of lazy afternoons reading books and drinking mint tea.
