April is the perfect time to visit Marrakech, as it's balmy without being boiling. Staying in a gem-like riad is the perfect way to experience North Africa's most sensual and seductive city, with an alluringly laid-back ambience.
Set in a quiet part of the medina, Les Yeux Bleus is a delightful property with just eight beautifully-designed rooms that have been elegantly restored by its French owner, "Madam Blue Eyes".
Facilities include a small hammam offering massages using essential oils, a mosaic-tiled courtyard swimming pool and a roof terrace with panoramic views.
A four-night stay departing 4 April costs £635 pp including flights (Gatwick), private transfers and B&B. Call The Best of Morocco on 08450 264 585 (www.realmorocco.com).
