We absolutely loved our stay. The Villa is even more gorgeous than the photos. Nadia has such incredible style and has designed the interior and garden beautifully. The whole team are a delight (Nadia, Pierre, Samira, Sadia and others) and we felt so well cared for, it felt like 5 star accommodation. The food is totally delicious and we enjoyed our meals in even more than the restaurants in Essouria. Breakfast was perfect and each day a little different. We also really appreciated the efforts put into making the dining table look so beautiful each evening. Afternoon tea was lovely too - and again, each day a little different. I can't recommend this villa highly enough. It was very hard to leave - even after 10 nights! Heartfelt thanks to Nadia, Pierre and all the team for your impeccable hospitality - you've created a little piece of paradise that we can't wait to return to already

Hasan was a wonderful, charming, and intelligent host with superb english and spicy sense of humor. Attentive, but not intrusive and really kind. First thing he did after our arrival was taking out the map and colorful markers to virtually show us around - where to eat, what to avoid and so on. You can really tell that the man loves his job. The mattresses were brand new, and best we encountered in Morocco so far. It is apparent from other reviews that some guests were complaining about wet environment and mold. I need to comment on that. Guys, the place is literally in the center of ancient Medina, built somewhere around 17th century! For such a buildings the humidity is always an issue. I was very afraid, because I suffer from astma and severe allergy on mold and I haven't seen any sign of mold and didn't have any health problems. Fatima cleans everything perfectly! Many thanks! Wish we could stay longer! ❤️

Yves and Carolina have created a beautiful oasis where you can stay and relax (and cook!) all day or easily go to Essaouira or Sidi Kaouki beach. They are the sweetest hosts who will give you great tips for the area. If you're lucky you can spot a turtle or two, but you will definitely meet a very nice dog, some cute cats and a sweet donkey. We stayed for 5 nights but did not want to leave...

The staff were lovely and available for included and additional services (we recommend the shopping and meal at home!). The house is huge and comfortable for larger group stays. Friendly house cats were a bonus.
