    We were woken up at 7 every morning by what sounded like a juice smoothie type machine. Not a big deal and it maybe only ground floor rooms that heard it

    We loved the location, a few minutes walk to the beach and a choice of beach clubs for eating and chilling. This part of the beach has kite surfing camel and horse riding. The riad is lovely and we enjoyed chilling by the pool which is very sheltered. The walk in to town (20mins) is along the beach promenade and we usually got a taxi back for around £1. Lovely rooftop restaurants in the medina. Staff at Villa Quieta were always very helpful and kind.

    One small gripe- we could hear a mixer being used in the kitchen early in the morning.

    We loved everything about this place and hopefully will return one day.

    Couple of areas that just needed a bit of attention like refining in a plug socket, but so minor and hardly noticeable.

    Friendly staff, beautiful grounds and building. Really comfy rooms, which was a great size. Amazing breakfast

    Everything was just as I wanted.

    Villa Quieta was precisely what I expected. Located away from the medina but less than 5 minutes in a petit taxi or a pleasant 20 minute walk. All staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. It is very peaceful and relaxing. We will go back.

    Actually nothing...

    Villa Quieta is a fantastic establishment (we discovered it is the oldest hotel in Essaouira) with beautiful original decoration and great facilities. We stayed in one of the suites which was very spacious and well equipped, with a nice terrace. The hotel is in front of the sea and at around 30' walk from the old city (less than 10' by taxi, which are very inexpensive). The staff is incredibly kind and helpful.

    the best place we stayed in Marocco, I'd be happy to return :)
    • Leisure trip

    all good. I'd only be little more happy if we'd have sausages or hum (turkey or any other, if they don't serve pork) for breakfast)... But that was everywhere in Marocco. There was a board game in a saloon, but that was in French, we'd appreciate some english board games, that would help us during that very rare rainy day

    We liked everything in Villa Quieta! very helpful staff, reach breakfast, great location is 100m from the beach and between 3 main kite/surf stations. you can see the see from the common terrace. Villa itself greatly furnished in oriental stile with a large comfortable rooms and lot of common space, including large chess table. Once we asked to serve a breakfast on the terrace and that was great! The taxi to medina costs only 1 USD and easy to catch on the nearest crossover.

    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.

    The room was very nice but one of the bathroom facility was not working properly however that didn’t stop us from using it so overall not bad. The room was situated near a lounge that had a fire place which was lit at night because of the cold. The smoke smell entered into the room very distinctively but again it wasn’t terrible and the smell was not present in the bedroom it self, so overall it was fine.

    Breakfast was brilliant and having it in that nice setting they had laid out was very peaceful. The room was very nice and the staff were lovely! Whenever we asked for extra plates or anything in general, they would help with a smile on their face. We used to order food from the villa in the afternoon and it was lovely. One time they gave us a free starter and the turnaround time was really good. We would definitely stay again.
