    The furniture in common areas was a bit dusty and could have been cleaned better (luckily our rooms didn’t have that issue).

    It’s a very cute little riad. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The shower was also really nice (we had issues with water pressure in other places during our trip to Morocco). The staff was kind even though they didn’t speak much English. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful!

    It was the best Riad we ever stayed In Morocco. the staffs were very helpful and prompt when needed. Mr Saed made most our travel through Essaguira and Sidi Kaouki. Also Mr Bihi was very transparent on the charges. We an exceptional family Hamman snd massage with MS Nadia. All was is that good experience. We will definitely recommend Riad Etto. Mr Diop

    They were really helpful and friendly and nice, but there were nearly all the time couple of staff members making you feel as if you are their guest. The pool in November was really cold. Only take this property if you have rented a car.

    A lot of facilities, pool, reception area, area for bbq.

    It was very peaceful, like a little oasis. Sayid and his family really looked after me, I went to Essaouira for a horse riding holiday and every day they would see that I was well fed with a lovely breakfast, book me great taxi drivers and advise me on price, and even LUCKILY woke me up on my last morning so I didn’t miss my flight! It’s true Moroccan hospitality, always with mint tea!. It’s approx 10 minutes drive from the Medina, and has parking if you have rented a car, but so cheap if you need to get taxis in an out. And also very close to all the local stables in Diabet, I recommend Cheval Essaouira. I had a lovely Hammam in the onsite spa on one of the days and the masseuse was amazing. As a solo female traveller you can sometimes feel worried about your surroundings, you will not find that here. Thankyou so much Diad dar Etto, I’ll be back.

    Absolutely nothing

    Nothing ti say, i spent two days in that riad it felt that i was in heaven. Only the sound if water birds and wind, mixed with the magnificent view of nature plus the humbled service of the riad owner and his wife made the best trip i ever made. Only one word to describe it : Moroccan paradise ❤️

    The traditionnel marocain breakfast was amazing. When we came in we were always welcomed by Sayeed and his wife with tea and a smile. On our last night we asked to have dinner at the Riad, so they went to buy all the fresh food to cook our home cooked dinner (lamb tagine) and desert for only 10 dirhams each. The hamam with the scrub is an amazing experience and is definitely worth every penny. The riad is not in Essaouira medina and you need a car, but that was no issue for us! Also, Sidi Kaouki is 30 minutes away and a beautiful surfers beach. Thank you to all the service you provided us with, it made an amazing stay.

    Location will not be to everyone's liking as it's quite remote but it was not a problem for us.

    Gem of a place in a quiet village of Ghazoua. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The place is peaceful and clean. Food is fresh and delicious. Thank you Bihi and Co, another great stay and we will be back for sure!

    It’s a little bit far (15 min) from the city, but it’s not a big deal as they’ll always get a taxi for you at a cheap price.

    Beautiful and unique looking property with a rustic vibe. Honestly, just gorgeous. The service was amazing and they always made sure we were fed and had plenty of tea to drink. The breakfast was fantastically delicious and the homemade cookies were to die for. Everything really was perfect and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy and taken care of.

    Lovely place to stay. The staff were friendly. It was a quiet location but a real oasis. Beautiful flowering plants in the courtyard. I enjoyed the swimming pool but they emptied it the next day, so might not always be available. Our room led out onto the roof terrace which was lovely. A really nice stay. Room for 2 cars behind their gates so felt safe place to leave the car.
