It felt like staying at home. We were greeted and treated like family.
The bed was comfortable and the room had everything necessary.
Breakfasts on the terrace were abundant and an amazing way to see the sunrise and start the day.
It's located on the north end of the main market street inside the medina, which at night goes to bed quite late, and quite close to the fish market.
Would gladly return!

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.
Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.
Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.
Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.
Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along...
Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along the promenade. If you explore the alleyways away from the shops you will come across workshops where the local products are being handcrafted.

What a wonderful city!
What a wonderful city! Beaming with actual local craft and art, lots of cute street cats and beautiful colourful houses with intricately decorated doors, windows and fountains. We fell in love with this small city and would love to go back.
Pro Tip if you like cats: buy some vet cat food and walk around the city with it because those creatures will break your heart with their cuteness.
I would recommend spending at least two days there. Get lost in the small streets to the sides from the main shopping areas. Visit the fish market, eat fresh oysters or other sea products. The beach was nice and serves as a great refreshment after long walks in Medina.
Shopping was great and cheap but I would still recommend learning the actual prices first. For example, we got small tiles for 10dhs but in other places we’re getting prices like 50 or 30. Don’t be afraid to walk away and negotiate a bit. Especially if it is not the master themselves selling but a reseller. You can usually find actual masters on the smaller side streets (especially for wood and fabrics). I also noticed that women have fair prices more often.
Food. Amazing street food and fruits! Don’t go to overpriced restaurants on tourist streets, unless they have a “menu” offer which can be worth the price. Otherwise, if you just take a detour from the main hustle, there will be tangine not for 80dhs but for 30. The food is also way cheaper outside of Medina.

Impressive fort!
Impressive fort! The Atlantic brings a fresh brise and a lot of problems for the buildings because humidity. It’s impressive to watch the ocean breaks at the city wall and sunset over the blue fisher boats. The Souk is small but fine and not so over crowded like Marrakech but not easy to get good prices because you don’t have many options like in other souks.But it’s a unique place impressive too!

Good place with a chilled-out vibe.
Good place with a chilled-out vibe. Great for those who are into surfing or wind sports. Also a cool place for those who like to try local food, shop at markets, or just meander through the narrow streets of a historic and vibrant town.
Accommodation is affordable, food is tasty, and the people are friendly. Also lots of activities such as surfing and camel/horse riding.
Easy to reach other towns and cities from the bus station.

There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira.
There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira. It is a coastal seaport with fresh fish brought in daily, so eating fish/seafood was a real delight. The town itself has many sections of medina/suq where all sorts of shopping opportunities, or just gazing around can be had. I did a cookery course which I enjoyed and found very informative, we learned to make a meat tagine, also a lentil dish, and had a visit to the spice market. I went with another hotel guest to a hammam which was a first for me. I enjoyed it all, thought it was perhaps a bit commercial, and disappointed a day or two later to discover I had acquired headlice. I have heard of this happening to others, so whilst dismayed to be in that state, I recognise that it is fairly common. No I would not go to a hammam again. The hassle of getting lice free outweighed for me the enjoyment. I do ,however, recommend the cookery course.

smashing place to visit, the fishing port is remarkable and the fresh fish always available delightful. Many brilliant restaurants some of which should have Michelin stars... as their food was so good
I’ve stayed at 11 properties around Essaouira, and Villa Quieta has the best wifi. I tested the upload and download speed in three rooms and each was 40+ mbps and 25+ mbps, respectively.
Nadia and Besma are excellent receptionists and they gave me a number of recommendations for restaurants and things to do in Essaouira. Another staff member walked me to an ATM when he coincidentally saw me walking a kilometre away from the villa when he was on his break. The housekeeping staff was attentive.
Amazing hotel, lovely spacious comfy rooms, great breakfast with lots of choice, good location for short walk to medina, overlooking beach so sunsets are wonderful, but looking out at the sea view as you wake is hard to leave, we have stayed here before and it is still one of the best hotels in essouira , but what makes it my first choice is the customer care, all the staff excel in making your stay perfect
We had a great stay , The staff, rooms facilities , breakfast and the private beach were excellent , above my expectation.
The hotel location is great , beach just across the road and 5 minutes walking to the beautiful medina and the port .
I love Essaoura , I think it has a great mixture of locals and tourist leaving in harmony, lots of historical places ,
Highly reccomened!
Emma & Giles and their team are lovely, thoughtful people which their hospitality reflects. Giles gave us a lot of useful advice on Essaouira; Emma’s interior decoration skills are worthy of a 5 star hotel and the breakfast provided was extensive and very high quality.
The security guard (whose name I didn’t get) helped us fix our broken car.
Surpassed my expectations! The apartment is superbly clean and well equipped.
I appreciate how the hosts were helpful and advising when needed.
The location is great, short to walk to reach the beach, the restaurants and shops were even closer.
I would definitely choose it again for my next trip to Essaouira.
Wonderful hosts with their place in the middle of the more local Mellah neighborhood - they were very warm and welcoming - I felt like I were staying with friends. this is was especially welcome after a especially after a traumatic experience with a hotel in Marrakech.
The hotel is close to the heart of the medina but also walking distance of the beach. The staff and owner are super nice and helpful! There is a big parking just next to the entrance of the medina and close to the hotel.
Really nice terrace!
A stunning Riad, beautiful architecture and associated art. We had the top room with its own pool, a luxury treat in its own league. The staff are exceptional. The hotel gives a sense of a bright, go ahead future for the region. Go there!
The location is fantastic. The view from the terrace is wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was charming and authentic. The restaurant requires a reservation but was exceptional. Best meal we had in Morocco.
The hotel is regularly maintained and has an authentic stille. Great location to go the beach. Friendly staff and a good breakfast. Parking in front of the house. Old town in walking distance (approx. 20 min). Beautiful garden.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel is run by a family and one of the owner brothers helped us a lot, showed us some local shops around and was super friendly and welcoming. It was one of my best stays in Morocco
Location was a short walk to shopping and restaurants in Essaouira, as well as to the beach. Full breakfast served every morning. Manager and Staff was helpful and friendly.
This stay was a jackpot, the terrasse overlooking the beach, the cute decorations, the location, the host. Just speechless. Its a must stay if ure ever coming to essaouira.
The hotel is well situated to ramble around the old medina. Very quiet. Great rooftop view. The breakfast was one of the best we had in our 17 day trip through Morocco.
This hotel is excellent and luxurious. The bed was the most comfortable we had in Morocco. The location is the best in front of the beach. I also enjoyed the heated pool.
At CULTURAL MOROCCO TOURS agency, we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for those seeking accommodations in Essaouira, ideally situated next to the Medina and the beach.
* The location of the Hotel, too close to the medina and in front of the beach
