    It’s one of the nicest places we’ve had the opportunity to stay in Morocco. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The riad itself is beautifully furnished and located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the main city attractions. Be sure to have breakfast there—it’s delicious! Moreover, the team is extremely friendly. It was a pleasure to stay there!

    Nothing, truly a perfect spot.

    The absolutely perfect Riad you could hope for. spotlessly clean, gorgeous rooms and courtyard, friendly and helpful staff, and a superb rooftop. No need to look anywhere else, this is where you want to stay!

    The riad is located right in the medina, although in a quiet road. The staff is very friendly and the food was fantastic. Small riad, quiet and very comfortable. I stayed with my two children and staff could not have been more helpful. Although there is no pool, my children appreciated the hot tub on the roof terrace.

    Really recommend this place. Great location inside the Medina but very easy to access from the road as it is close to one of the gates. The hosts are friendly and warm. The room itself is spacious, nicely designed and very comfortable.

    Even if I tried, I couldn't find a single aspect to be criticized. 10/10 - no doubt!

    This property is stunning from the friendliness of its staff, to the quality/comfort/space of its rooms. The managing team was extremely helpful and walking us through the history / culture of the country. The dinner menu is purely fantastic and deserves a try. You won't be disappointed.

    The most beautiful riad. The staff are welcoming, calming and friendly. It felt very zen, authentic and cosy as well as feeling very special. We loved our room and having the fire lit in the evening. As well as enjoying the sunshine on the rooftop. Great breakfast too. Would recommend to everyone!

    I wish I could give this place 20 stars! Everything was totally exceptional, especially the in-room fireplace, in which the staff would build a cozy fire for us each night. The breakfast was over-the-top, the staff were all multilingual, and the riad was close to everything. I only wish we could have stayed a few days longer.

    Nothing, our stay was perfect

    We really enjoyed our three night stay in this beautiful Riad. Our favourite of all the Riads we stayed in during our 15 night trip to Morocco. The room was beautiful. Amazing welcoming, attentive and kind staff, with a special mention to Greggie, Hisham and Samira. A beautiful roof terrace. Great breakfast in a lovely room with a real log fire. We look forward to returning again on our next visit to Essaouira

    Sympathetically restored building, tastefully decorated and beautifully presented. Staff were extremely helpful but unobtrusive. Our room was spacious, had minimalist but comfortable vibe; the wood fire lit for us each evening was an added treat. Exceptional breakfast, with choice of fresh fruit, pastries, cake, eggs plus cold meats. Dinner was delicious and good value.

    A lovely welcoming stay , very comfortable bed & beautiful rooms away from the hustle and bustle of Essouira. also it’s quiet! usually the call to prayer wakes me up but this is a little away from it and so it’s not as loud. Friendly hosts & lovely breakfasts. the fire place was stunning too!

    We loved it all

    Firstly the staff were incredible. So helpful, very courteous and accommodating to so many questions and fluent in so many languages. Beyond this, it was in the perfect spot within Essaouira, close enough to the Main Street, as well as outside the medina. Loved the room too; the fireplace and sunken tub for a bath was splendid. But wouldn’t have been anywhere near as enjoyable without the staff, loved them all. From the cooks, to the hosts, the cleaning crew. Everyone
