Great stay in the medina of Essaouira. Comfortable, quiet, nice aesthetics, friendly staff and nice (simple but good) breakfast. Youssef helped us arrange a private transfer from Marrakesh and to Taghazout, which was very convenient and a comparable price to renting a car.

This is the most beautiful palace i have ever had the chance to stay in! It is almost like a royal palace. There was so much work put into every single little detail! The rooms and hotel are sublime and detailed from ground to ceiling!! The bathroom was like a real private spa with giant bathtub! There was unlimited hot water so no issue to fill the big tub! Sweet Noella at the counter is just one of the sweetest hosts we met on our Maroccan journey!
