The rooms at this Riad are humongous compare to all the other locations we were at. The breakfast was exceptional (they did this fruit crumble that was out of this world). The service was exceptionnel. The owner booked us a grand taxi for us and I really appreciated his dedication. Thank you

We stayed in the top apartment with the (shared) terrace outside, the view was amazing and it was great to have the terrace right there. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable, also modern and good quality. We added on the breakfast which was good. Location was good for getting around and also close to the beach. The staff were lovely.

A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

The Riad is located in a quiet area and you can really relax there, yet you only need 20 min by car to Essaouira if you want to grab some food or to Sidi Kaouki if you want to go surfing. The rooms and the house in general are big, bright and beautiful. It's really special because it doesn't feel like a hotel but more like a home. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. We definitely will come back again!

This hotel was absolutely amazing. The interior and decor were outstanding. The hotel was in a great location in the medina city centre and 5 mins from the beach. There was a rooftop view of the city and the beach which i loved and spent a lot of time. The staff were so friendly and service was outstanding. The hotel was very beautiful and so clean. The breakfast was delicious and such a great variety. I would definitely come back again and will be a regular customer.

These apartments are completely new. Well furnished, the hosts Said and his family are wonderful people and always took great care of us. We were a big group, we rented almost all their apartments and stayed for a week. The location is outside the city center (the medina), we had a few people stay there as we didnt fit all in these apartments, and here it was much better. The medina hotels all had little light and humidity. The insonorization could be a little better, but I think for Essaouira this was a top stay.
