This lovely, renovated riad with only 8 rooms feels like a home with its friendly, helpful staff.
United States of AmericaVery beautiful and clean Riad, the staff was very welcoming. Breakfast was reach and tasty. The location of the Riad is good, in the Medina but not in the most crowded area.
IsraelGreat location for visiting Essaouira. The Riad is beautiful and the staff couldn't be nicer and more helpful. Lovely restaurant - we had dinner as well as breakfast and enjoyed both
United KingdomWow, wow, wow -- what a place. Essouria was our final, relaxing destination and this riad was the perfect place in a perfect town. We had wonderful breakfasts throughout our stay in Morocco, but this was the best of the best. The staff was kind and lovely, and helpfully suggested some restaurants with veggie options for my husband and fresh fish options for me. Our spotless room had a fireplace, but we didn't use it. (There was a fireplace downstairs, in the restaurant, as well.) The location was perfect -- in the small medina and a 6 min walk from the Supratours bus station. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Heck, I'd move in here!
United States of AmericaBeautiful common space on main level & amazing staff!
United States of AmericaThis is a very nice refurbished property. It is inside the walls and easy to access from the Supratours bus station. The staff was outstanding with special acknowledgement of Samir’s, Gregui and Hickam. The breakfasts were excellent as well as the restaurant recommendations.
United States of AmericaWe left very early before breakfast started -- but they were nice enough to have someone make some things for us to eat before we left.
United States of AmericaExcellent location within the Medina but far enough back from the Souks to be quiet. The staff is excellent, patient and attentive, they were great with recommendations, service and generally accommodation our group of 7.
United States of AmericaThis riad was amazing. It was one of the most beautiful places we stayed. I loved everything about this riad and would 100% recommend this to anyone who was looking for a place to stay in Essaouira.
United States of AmericaIt was the best Riad I have stayed so far. Exceptional facilities, delicious breakfast, relaxing ambience and very professional staff. A truly memorable stay, hopefully we will come back one day. Totally recommend it!
