Lock in a great price for Villa Maroc Essaouira – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Lots of things to like, the staff were brilliant, just the right balance of attention and friendliness but left you alone to enjoy the place. The food was great too, we particularly enjoyed breakfast on the terrace with stunning views. If you like a bit of privacy but also to be around people this is a good place to go.

All the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Fabulous location and a beautiful hotel decor fabulous

the location of the Riad - the breakfast on the roof terrace and breakfast quality and service

Helmut, Germany

Full breakfasts on the roof terrace were just that. More than I ever expected. Totally excellent. The staff was sensational. Not just friendly and efficient, but personable and always willing to go the extra mile. A cozy, charming bar area with a fireplace that was ablaze every evening.

Nancy, France

The staff is great. It's a traditional moroccon set up. Great breakfast! Superb view from the terrace.

Vivek, United States of America

Welcoming staff. Lovely Riad in an excellent location. Would recommend!!!

Jo, United Kingdom

We loved Villa Maroc, the place is beautiful and the terrace has a good view of the beach. Watch out for a few uneven steps and some low ceilings, but it all adds to the charm of the place and it didn't bother us. Staff were great and extremely helpful. They even decorated our room with a birthday message and flowers as I mentioned the reason we were visiting was for my partner's birthday. I'd definitely go back!

Elisabeth, United Kingdom

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Great location and beautiful setting. Amazing decoration with a very homey feel. I loved the breakfast in the terrace and din8ng in a private room at night. ”

Tefa Mai

United States of America

“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.”

“Cozy and beautiful”

눇Villa Maroc is a very pleasant place to stay. It´s in a perfect location, next to the beach, the lively harbor, and the narrow streets and alleyways of the old medina. Villa Maroc is tastefully decorated in beautiful colors and there are plenty atmospheric little corners and rooms to choose from for dining in privacy, or enjoying a cup of coffee. Staff was always friendly and smiling. Our room was small - we heard it was the smallest in the hotel - but we found places for our luggage and really enjoyed the beautiful color palette and tasteful details of our Berber style room. It was fun to have little stairs from the living space to the bedroom chamber. From the bedroom, there was a view towards the sea, which was lovely. It had been raining before our arrival and it rained when we arrived, but there was no dampness or humidity. It was cozy and warm inside the room. There was a fireplace in the room too. It would have been lovely to sit by the fire, but it was already warm enough without and we did not want to heat the room too much for the night. The bathroom had their own range of argan oil based toiletries with a lovely scent of jasmine. Breakfast was the nicest we had during our one week stay in Morocco - on a sunny morning we enjoyed it on the rooftop terrace looking out towards the ocean. Our breakfast consisted of fresh orange juice, sweet homemade yogurt, fruits, eggs, coffee, bread and pastries with jam and honey. We did not try their hammam, which looked very tempting - we were too curious about exploring and photographing the town and the harbor. But this is just another good reason to come back one day and take the time to just relax. Also, their other property out of town, Jardins Villa Maroc, would surely have been a real treat on a hot day. Plenty of things to see and do for the next visit!

눉I booked a suite with space - surely we had a nice room with a sleeping tower, but we could barely place tow open suitcases - the water supply for the shower was poor and mostly only with cold water - the special offer for the Hammam was not satisfying at all, maybe because I know the real Hammam - when paying my bill, cc systems did not work - Reception was unable to print the invoice as there was no ink for the printer - i just expect more quality, especially, when a customer is willing to pay more than 200€ per night - i don't like to hear from the reception, that if i had booked directly with them , that the price had be different
