Beautiful modern yet traditional place with excellent service from reservation all the way throughout the stay to check-out. Staff are amazing without exception. Excellent breakfast, with various hot food options to choose from, served on the roof top with distant sea-view. Fireplace in the room lit on cold evenings. Comfortable beds, smart and chic room layout, hot shower with good water pressure. For people sharing a room: the bathroom door may not block sight nor sound. WiFi available throughout the property. Pets allowed (check ahead for surcharge); you may be lucky to meet the cute resident dog and cat. The Riad is on a narrow alley inside the pedestrian-only old town (Medina) and you can thus hear what is going on around you in the hotel and in the streets. Call ahead for assistance with parking just outside the Medina walls.

Riad is situated in very heart of old town, near beaches, shops, sightseeing's and cafes. At the same time it is very quiet and comfortable places. Staff is very friendly and helpful, Simo met us in the entrance to the old town and helped us to get to Riad, he was at our disposal whatever we needed. Breakfast is great, the terrace has a wonderful view, it was amazing experience. I highly recommend it

Beautiful dar, decorated with taste, mixing modern and traditional elements, we especially loved the terrace. The location is perfect - close to the main streets of the medina, near the petit taxi ranks, yet quiet at night. We would also like to praise the soul of this dar - Amina. She is the most adorable person, so sweet and helpful. She was always there, ready to help or simply have a chat. And her breakfast was amazing! ❤️ She loves cooking and even offers cooking classes if you’d like a local experience! Amina is the perfect example of Moroccan hospitality. We truly hope to come back one day!

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

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!
