Restoring and renovating a house in the Fès Medina is not for the faint hearted as anyone who has done it will tell you. Over the last few years The View from Fez has brought you stories of the trials and tribulations of the new Medina dwellers and now it is timely to have a look at those who have done the hard work. Regular readers will be familiar with Kleo Brunn (see one of our earlier stories here: "Kleo with a K"). Recently we caught up with Kleo and asked her how things have turned out. Here is what she has to say...

This historic house which has been home to the Alaouites descendants is a small palace and architectural jewel. Careful and meticulous restoration with natural materials and a lot of heart and soul of the German proprietor brought Dar Attajalli back to its former splendour.
Let yourself be enchanted in this oasis of tranquillity by the gentle ripple of the courtyard fountain and the scent of cedar wood. Enjoy the amazing mosaic, plaster and wood work and the stunning mural fountain in the courtyard.
Together with the individual suites, you can chill in the classy “salon marocain” with a book from the library or using the internet. Go upstairs to enjoy the rooftop winter garden with its tea kitchen and dining area, or lounge on the ample roof terrace with its lush flora and stunning view over the magical medina.
Dar Attajalli offers 4 tastefully furnished and exquisitely decorated suites each of which has its own unique personality, style and colour. All guest accommodations include private en suite bathrooms. To ensure you sleep soundly we have provided high quality bed linen and extra long mattresses.

The copious breakfast as well as the food in general is organic, locally sourced, fresh and first choice quality.
