Tucked beside the Bahia Palace and away from the souk’s commotion, Riad Rosemary is Belgian-born designer, and founder of design house LNRCE, Laurence Leenaert’s labour of love. Like the creative crowd it attracts, the riad is beautiful and endlessly surprising. At its heart stands a spiralling jacaranda tree that showers violet blossoms each spring. Over five years, more than forty of Leenaert's in-house artisans  painted soft, earthy tones, laid bespoke terrazzo, and inlaid hand-cut zellij tiles depicting Leenaert’s own designs. The five suites are among the Medina’s finest - generous in size, originality and comfort, right down to the hand-embroidered percale bedsheets. A simple but plentiful breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, and in true home-stay fashion, guests are left to their own rhythms, trusted to treat the place as their own.
