MEDINA ESSAOUIRA HOUSE

Beautiful home in a beautiful town. The attendants’ hospitality made it even better making us feel at home and sharing their amazing tips for great food. Great home-made breakfast that made my entire family feel so welcomed!

Beautiful space. Wonderful, helpful hosts. Shkran!

Transport yourself to the medina of Essouria. The Riyadh is situated in a great part of town. You do not see another tourist for the last 200 metres of your journey home. What you do see is life, private conversations, deals, kids playing, food being made , things being fixed and made, yarn being spun and the beautiful Arabic language bouncing off every wall. If you have never been to Morocco this is a great place to start, everything Morocco has to offer in one place without it being pushed in your face. Take it or leave it, live and let live seems to sum it up for me for the feeling of the place. Although Frederic was very relaxed he did reply within a day or two before our arrival but as soon as he put us in contact with Yassine over WhatsApp the whole stay was seemless. Yasine is a real fixer and genuine good man, I am sure he could sort anything you asked him to. Sheehan looked after us with breakfast and other household stuff. She is a beautiful woman in mind and spirit and despite our language differences she became our friend. We are not used to having someone look after us yet Sheehan made a situation that could have been awkward so easy. Thank you Sheehan ( hope I spell right). So book up, wander and relax, reset : relax your brain , that is literally how I feel after 1 week here. Until nex time

Centrally located. A tidy riad with nice bedrooms. Our host Yassine was very helpful and we were provided with a good breakfast every morning by Wafae, who also tidied the rooms. The top floor bedroom suffered a little from the noise of a constantly barking dog and a lot of seagulls, but this is the nature of Essouira I guess. We enjoyed our stay.

We are a family of four, including two children aged 9 and 11. We stayed for a week at this lovely riad in Essaouira and felt totally enchanted by the place. Most importantly, we were exceptionally well looked after by the local agent, Yassine and were provided with fantastic breakfast each day by the very kind and helpful Sihame. The decor in the house is colourful and tasteful and the rooms are comfortable; step outside the front door and you are right in the heart of the medina, with all its sights and sounds and surprises.

We spent ten nights in this wonderful house. It is tastefully and comfortably furnished with many charming features. It is very well located and equipped with everything you would need. The housekeeper Siham had a great personality and is a very good cook. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Yassine the agent was exceptionally helpful and always available. He responded immediately to all our request and queries. Our stay was delightful and excellent value. We whole-heartedly recommend this property

This home exceeded our expectations. The pictures just cannot capture the warm and comfortable ambience. The home is beautifully decorated and has so many welcoming touches. We were offered lots of helpful information from the start while sipping on mint tea offered when we arrived. Then we were given a tour of the home---beautiful, spacious rooms and two outdoor terraces. Flower petals were scattered about the bedrooms and bathrooms; beach towels and accessories were provided, and on and on. We arranged to have dinner prepared for our first night, and it was outstanding...best tagine we had during our two weeks in Morocco. Breakfasts were also delicious---fresh juice, Moroccan pancakes, pastries, etc! And the cook/housekeeper was so cheerful and friendly. The owner was prompt and clear with all instructions when we booked. And the local contact who met us, Yassine, was helpful in not only orienting us to the house but also to the area. He gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to see and could easily be reached at any time. If you are considering this propery, don't hesitate. We are so happy we stayed here!
