AMAZING. GENUINE. WARM. BEST HOSPITALITY/ Definitely, this is one of the memorable place to be remembered from my Eastern Marocco holiday 2023! First, one of the most friendly hosts I ve ever met in Marocco during my whole journey here. A cozy and a quiet place, a such an warm atmosphere in Médina of Essaouira. They makes your stop, even for a night spent in this amazing marocain coast city, so pleasent and amazingly comfortable. Incredible warm welcoming, helpful and kind, the owner was waiting for gave me personally all the information, assistance and support for all the information I needed.

Great place to relax, very spacious, comfortable and perfectly equipped villa with everything you could possibly need (we even had an electric orange juicer to make our own juice). Great and clean pool with comfy loungers, bbq area, playground for kids, washing machine and tumble dryer Located just off the road to Agadir but you can hardly hear the traffic and it's not too heavy anyway. 15 mins drive to Essaouira and just 5 mins to a nearby village with shops, cafes and grills. Really good local and authentic Sunday market in Had Draa just 30 minutes away. This was the best place ever in Morocco within this budget. 100% recommend.

A perfect stay in the heart of Essaouira I can't recommend this riad highly enough. Tucked away in the medina yet peaceful and calm, it offered the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and authentic Moroccan hospitality. Every detail was thoughtfully designed — from the beautifully decorated rooms to the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the sea and city. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. We felt not like guests, but like part of a family. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: fresh fruit, warm msemen, homemade jams, and mint tea served with a smile. The location is ideal — a short walk to the beach, the port, the souks, and all the best restaurants and cafés. Yet once inside the riad, it feels like a tranquil oasis away from the bustle. We’ve stayed in many places across Morocco, but this riad truly stands out for its atmosphere, warmth, and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back.

    The apartment is lovely and in a peaceful location, but just a short walk in to the centre along the beach. The apartment is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We couldn't have been happier. We decided to get a taxi back to Marrakech, instead of the bus, and the host got us a great deal.
