Lock in a great price for Villa Maroc Essaouira – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Rooms, decoration, and breakfast were amazing! The staff was pleasant and helpful and we were overall very happy with both the service and the beautiful environment. We would definitely go back to this hotel if we visit Essaouira again. It was like home away from home

Haritini, United Kingdom

The location is very good and the hotel is very tastefully decorated and furnished. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When it gets very hot it is lovely to be able to go to the hotels garden property, 15 min away using the hotels shuttle bus, and use the pool. I will go again only next time I'll make sure I get a flight to the local airport.

Simon, United Kingdom

The Villa Maroc is located very centrally, inside the Medina walls, easy to get to the beach, the souk, the port. It has a nice seaside feel to the interiors, they are light, bright and airy. The breakfast was lovely, and the room was comfortable. It is good value for money.

Jaspreet, United Kingdom

It's a uniquely beautiful, lovingly run hotel. The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing, it's a very special place.

Nora, United Kingdom

Excellent Breakfast service on the roof terrace - lovely choice!

Norman, United Kingdom

Excellent location, comfortable rooms, very friendly staff, great service and excellent food! This beautiful Riad consists of four ancient houses that are connected with little steps and stairs.Very tastefully decorated!!

Anna, United States of America

Characterful hotel in the centre of Essaouira. Lovely staff. Delicious breakfasts on the roof terrace. (Beware the seagulls). Comfortable beds. Good shower.

Babs!, United Kingdom

The staff are THE BEST. So friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. From the reception to the bar tender to the many who lit our fire each night And the breakfast staff was even more outstanding. And the cook, she is a genius--just eat there every night and even though the menu descriptions are not very descriptive just go for it--the best meals we had our trip, and even ever, were here. The owner was on site and really cares. The shopping nearby was excellent. Go outside the walls to the boutiques and go into the non-tourist medina too. They also have a property inland where you can go to swim and bar-b-que lunch. it looked quite nice although we did not try it. I think you can swim there in winter as it is warmer inland.

Bohemian, Norway

Great location in the Medina of Essaouira right next to the harbour and markets. The property is beautifully decorated and our room was stunning, high ceilings, spacious and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was great as well, with a powerful shower and a separated wc. What we liked the most was the breakfast on the terrace overlooking the beach, delicious food and a perfect spot to enjoy the sunlight. Would love to come back for a longer stay, one day was not enough!

Soledad, United Kingdom

Villa Maroc is our all round favourite Christmas holiday stop. Fatima, the head of all round housekeeper/service personnel who has been with Villa Maroc for 28 years, is a smiling treasure who makes us return again and again. Also, their inland estate, Jardin de Villa Maroc with its heated swimming pool and luscious Morooccan BBQ buffet lunch, makes the holiday complete.

눉Nothing I didn't like but you need to know that part of the hotels charm is the layout, which is tall and on different levels so there are steep narrow stairs to climb.
눇The location is very good and the hotel is very tastefully decorated and furnished. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When it gets very hot it is lovely to be able to go to the hotels garden property, 15 min away using the hotels shuttle bus, and use the pool.

“The staff need to attend a hospitality course”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Sea View Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The hotel is a little bit tired and in need of a refresh. Our bathroom could have done with a renovation and there was only a small soap, a bottle of shower gel and a bottle of shampoo as toiletries. There was no safe in the room, and no minibar. The reason for the low staff score was the attitude of the staff. Across Morocco we had found the level of attentiveness of staff to be absolutely superb, in hotels, restaurants and shops. Then Moroccan people were delightful. But here, the young woman on reception was cold, dismissive, unhelpful and when we were unable to connect to the wi-fi in our room, made us feel as if we were incompetent old people, and didn't accept that perhaps the room didn't have good connectivity? Similarly when we asked if we could have some tea when we were on the terrace the member of staff there actually made us feel as if we had inconvenienced him.
눇The Villa Maroc is located very centrally, inside the Medina walls, easy to get to the beach, the souk, the port. It has a nice seaside feel to the interiors, they are light, bright and airy. The breakfast was lovely, and the room was comfortable. It is good value for money.
