The staff, especially Khadija, was just amazing! She welcomed us like were old friends, and even made us dinner one night! We felt like we were staying with family. I would highly recommend!!
MoroccoWe stayed here for 2 nights in August 2020. Located in the heart of the old town, very close to the main touristic streets and the entry to the port area, the riad is situated in a beautiful building with nice courtyards and hidden communal seating areas. Also, there is an amazing rooftop area where people can chill, sunbathe and have breakfast. The interior of the common areas and the rooms has a very rustic feeling that has a very "beach house" vibe. The rooms itself are spacious and well equipped. The host Khadija is very friendly and welcoming and her hospitality is a definite plus to the whole experience. Breakfast is served on the rooftop, good food and even better location. We definitely recommend anyone travelling to Essaouira to stay here.
