About Maison du Sud

The Maison du Sud dates from the 18th century and is located in the centre of town, on a pedestrianised side street. It's a smaller property than many but offers a similar style and standard of accommodation and is just 300m to the beach.

The comfortable public lounge and shaded central courtyard with its fountain give the Maison du Sud a homely feel. In the afternoon why not enjoy a traditional mint tea on the large rooftop terrace, with its wonderful sea views of the sea.

Our opinion - friendly, colourful and well looked after riad, still good quality for its price range.
