Staying in this beautiful riad with the lovely family and host was really so lovely, we felt very welcome and safe - just like at home! The breakfast was the best we have had in Morocco so far and the Hamam was also a great experience! And to top it off Said was so sweet and took in the stray kitten we were taking care of for a few days! We are so thankful and happy we chose this riad! You will def feel the same way, so don’t miss out on this authentic, sweet experience!

We had a one night stay here. We knew we wanted to be on the ocean so this was a good option. We have a family of four so we had to get two rooms which made the price more expensive as there is no family room that fits four people. Our timing wasn’t great as they were doing work on the rooftop so it was not quiet and comfortable up there. The breakfast was very good.

I'm in love with this house! I've been to different riads in different cities, but this one is the best!
Design: the house resembles a sea shell, the inside is decorated with local tadelakt. Every corner of the house is a Pinterest-ready photo.
Facilities: there is always hot water, fresh towels and sheets, a bottle of water. Don’t worry that there is no air conditioning in the house, it is not needed here even in summer, fresh air from the ocean keeps you cool.
+ not noisy like in other riads, and the sounds of the street are not disturbing at all (you can only hear them when you open the window)
Breakfast: The best omelette in the country and a combination of fresh fruit, bread and coffee will keep you hungry all day
location: very convenient location on the side of the medina (for those just exploring Morocco, this is the old town), but effect that you are not in a tourist place, but in a real medieval city! the streets are quiet and safe, there is a bakery and lies nearby
Staff: Amina - goddess, queen, my love! best breakfasts, always smiling, always helping to solve a problem (she even helped me find a doctor) I felt at home with her! she is the best woman in the world, I would like her to adopt me hahaha (just kidding)
I want to thank everyone who helps make my vacation better! Françoise carefully sent information in advance with pictures and photos so that I wouldn’t get lost in the city and find the best food, views and bars! Always in touch and ready to help! This is the first time in Morocco when I received so much love, it helped me a lot 💕

The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Fantastic hotel in a form of traditional riad, with excellent Moroccan design, very comfortable and located close to the oceanfront and wonderful beach and in the old town at the same time.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case).
Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
A superb traditional Riad in an amazing location on the city walls overlooking the Atlantic ocean and breaking waves. Comfortable well equipped rooms with interesting Moroccan artifacts enhancing the ambiance. Helpful friendly staff. Excellent cleanliness. Superb, filling breakfasts. An outdoor sun terrace equipped with loungers etc. to relax and enjoy the ocean view, waves and sunsets. A genuinely exceptional Moroccan experience!
The whole Riad is beautifully restored and furnished in traditional Moroccan style. Beautiful art on the walls. We love the fact that there are windows in all the rooms that can open for fresh air.
The Riad was cozy and traditional.
Full of colourful art and plants a dream !
The host was the sweetest ever.
He catered to our wishes and was just lovely to be around…:)
we saw the riad and instantly prolonged our stay what a blessing
Everybody should come here!
Awesome location in the heart of Essaouira - incredibly handy for the central square, the beach and the docks. Opted for the suite room - it was big and included a nice seating area. The Riad offers a traditional experience of a Riad design with most rooms looking into the courtyard. Provided with a welcome mint tea and Moroccan biscuits. Staff were always welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good although less varied than other more expensive Riads we visited. Rooftop view is amazing of the sea and the docks, including the Borj El Barmil.
