Home away from Home…..
Staying at Maipa Riad Marrakesh it’s much more than a trip — it was an experience that touched our hearts. From the first moment we stepped inside, Lilya and Emmanuel welcomed us with such genuine warmth that we instantly felt safe, cared for, and completely at home. They are not just hosts; they are beautiful souls who pour love into every detail of this riad.
There is a peaceful energy in the house that is hard to describe. After the vibrant chaos of the Medina, returning to the riad felt like returning to a sanctuary. Every corner is filled with beauty and calm, but what makes it truly special is the human warmth. Lilya and Emmanuel have created a place where guests are treated like family, not visitors.
The entire team deserves the highest praise. Every member of staff greeted us with kindness, smiles, and sincere generosity. Their attentiveness was never formal or forced — it felt natural and heartfelt. Whether serving breakfast, helping with plans, or simply sharing a laugh, they made each day brighter. You can feel the pride and care they put into their work.
Private dining experience was absolutely fantastic!
We will leave this HOME with deep gratitude and a sense that we had discovered something rare — a place where hospitality is authentic and human connection comes first. Maipa is not just somewhere to stay; it is somewhere to feel. We will carry the memories with us and hope with all our hearts to return one day.
Thank you, Lilya, Emmanuel, and your wonderful team for welcoming us so beautifully.

Excellent,
Our stay at Riad Mapia was honestly one of the best we’ve had. The riad has clearly been beautifully restored — it feels authentically Moroccan but with all the comfort you’d actually want, and the attention to detail throughout is impressive without being showy.
What really made it though were the owners. They were genuinely warm and attentive without being overbearing — the kind of hosts who seem to actually care whether you’re having a good time, rather than just going through the motions. It made the whole stay feel personal in a way that’s hard to put into words.

Dear Mr. WillWood2018
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us.
We are thrilled to hear that you appreciated the restoration of the riad. A great deal of heart and careful attention to detail went into preserving its authentic Moroccan soul while ensuring it feels like a comfortable, welcoming oasis for our guests.
Hearing that our hospitality made your stay feel personal and genuinely caring means the world to us. Providing that exact balance—being attentive and warm without being intrusive—is always our highest priority, so knowing it resonated with you is the best reward we could ask for.
We hope to welcome you back to your home away from home in Marrakech whenever your travels bring you back this way!

What an amazing trip!
We have just returned from a 4 day trip to Marrakesh staying at Riad Maipa
We had the most amazing time
Lilliana & her husband Emmanuel were incredible.
From the moment we were collected from the airport we were so well taken care of. Lilliana & Emmanuel go above & beyond
We stayed in the most beautiful room, the toiletries were such amazing quality & we were gifted with some traditional Moroccan slippers
The various teas & coffee in the room were delicious
The decor was spectacular, the lamps, cushions & sofas were so beautiful
The room was cleaned daily & was absolutely spotless, fresh flowers & fresh fruit made us feel so welcome & spoiled
The staff at Riad Maipa are so wonderful
Unis looked after us everyday, bringing us snacks & refreshments to the sun terrace & sharing some beautiful stories of his family & homeland & always had a beautiful smile
Brahim looked after us at breakfast time, attending to our every need
Brahim was very interesting explaining so much of the Berbar culture to us
The breakfast at Maipa is more of a banquet, it is incredible, I felt like a Queen
Delicious fresh juices, my favourite was the cucumber, lemon & apple, yoghurt & fruits, fresh homemade breads & pastries, cheeses, hams & honey & every morning a delicious cooked plate, omelette, rosti, flags beas & eggs
I am a vegan & I can honestly say I have never been taken care of so well & been given such a variety of delicious plant based options
Soya or rice milk, a selection of plant based cheeses & soya yoghurt & a delicious hot dish to follow
The cook Fatima is amazing & the food presentation is exceptional
The Riad itself is absolutely beautiful, restored respectfully & authentically using traditional practices & local craftsmanship
One of the highlights of our visit was soaking up the Moroccan sun on the roof terrace savouring the Moroccan tea & sipping iced water from cut glass tumblers listening to the call to prayer & the singing of the birds
Then cooling off in the jacuzzi!
The attention to detail was amazing
The location of Maipa in the Medina is perfect if you want to be in the heart of daily life
Step outside & you are in the ancient labyrinth of winding narrow streets
We had so much fun meeting the locals, bartering for souvenirs & treasures
We had an amazing lunch at the rooftop restaurant Dardar which is definitely worth a visit especially at sunset but you do need to book well in advance
We also had a traditional Hammam and massage at the Hammam Rosa Bonheur which Lilliana very kindly arranged for us
We also did a walking tour with Abdul that we booked via tripadvisor it was a half day and was an excellent way to get a feel of the culture and tradition, the visit to Bahia palace was beautiful & wondering through the souks was great fun & the invaluable advice of ‘always walk on the right!'
There are many cafes & restaurants in the medina but if you are a vegetarian or vegan the Mandala Society is a little gem
The chai latte with oat milk & raspberry tart was delicious whilst watching the bustle of the streets below
It was my birthday whilst we were in Marrakesh & it was so wonderful to receive a beautiful plate of delicious vegan sweets in my room & some Moroccan tea to take home
Thank you Lilliana & Emmanuel & all of the amazing staff at Riad Maipa
You honestly are the best hosts we have ever met
We didn’t want to leave but will most certainly return
All our love

Dear Mrs. Jacqueline and Tracy,
Reading your beautiful words has truly touched our hearts! On behalf of the entire team at Maipa Boutique Riad, thank you for such a glowing and thoughtful review.
For us, the personal connection we share with our guests is the most rewarding part of what we do. It was a sincere pleasure getting to know you both. We are so happy that you felt "at home" and that our wonderful team—Younes with his smiles and stories, Brahim with his insights into Berber culture, and Fatima with her culinary magic—made your stay so special.
We are especially thrilled that you enjoyed the breakfast "banquet"! We take great pride in catering to all our guests, and as a vegan, we are so glad you felt truly spoiled with our plant-based options and fresh juices. Fatima will be delighted to hear your praise for her presentation!
It was an absolute joy to celebrate your birthday with you, and we are so glad the vegan sweets and the little taste of Morocco to take home added to your memories. Whether you were soaking up the sun on the roof terrace or exploring the labyrinth of the Medina, we are just happy we could be your sanctuary at the end of the day.
Thank you for the "super recommendation" and for your warmth. You arrived as guests but left as friends, and you are always welcome back to your home at Maipa Boutique Riad.
warmest regards
Emanuele

Oasis of luxury in the heart of the medina
The Riad Maipa was our introduction to Marrakech and Morocco for our very first stay, and it will be hard for other stays to live up to their example. We had a transfer from the airport early in the morning, and Emanuele greeted us with Moroccan tea and sweets. Our room was palatial and had everything we needed.
The hosts Emanuele and Liliya were helpful with suggestions as to what to see and which restaurants to go to, and their breakfast featuring local produce was so good that we really didn't need anything more until dinner! The friendly night staff, Youness and Aziz, were also greatly appreciated. We'd be happy to stay again on our next visit!

Exceptional Customer Service in this beautiful hidden gem in the Medina area
Maipa Riad is a hidden gem in a quiet spot of the bustling Medina area. A beautifully designed Riad. The Patron/ Manager Liliya was the most excellent concierge and guide you would ever want . Nothing was too difficult for her to organise.The staff are very polite and responsive and there is always someone on duty to assist .The property is very clean and our room was cleaned every day to a very high standard.Good quality towels and bedding! Tea and coffee making facilities in the room with lots of drinking water provided .
The breakfast was exceptional. It included home made yoghurt , a fruit and a cheese platter , a selection of breads ( with jams+ honey) and pastries and freshly made juices! In addition to a different cooked egg dish each day .
The Riad is a 10/12 minute walk to the main square where taxis are available to take you to other areas. Uber whist unofficial was our favoured and most reliable form of transport . We would highly recommend this Riad for a short or long stay .Thank you Liliya and your staff!
