Ksar Char-Bagh is the glam one in the clutch of new-style riads spreading through the palm fields of the Palmerai, six kilometres outside of the old medina. The 14th century riad with 14 rooms is pure Ottoman opulence and Moorish style. Pockets of sculpted wall reliefs and carved screens across windows add ornateness to the clean palette. Fabrics build a billowy sense of romance. The sensual curve of a moulded staircase leads to a library stacked with over a thousand books. The grounds of Ksar Char-Bagh is just as stunning as the interior - fig, olive and citrus trees fill the air with fragrance and the kitchen garden is bursting with produce to be enjoyed in the restaurant.  There are also two heated pools, a tennis court, billiards and a cigar club to keep you amused. The three golf courses close by don't go astray.
