A stylish and cozy riad with a spacious room. Clean linens and a comfortable bed. Breakfast on the terrace. In the heart of the medina. Very pleasant hostess. Highly recommended!

This is a gem of a place. Well situated in the heart of the medina but miraculously quiet. Rooms are spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated in an authentic Moroccan style, beds are comfortable and breakfasts hearty. The best part was just how at home we felt; it was like staying with friends rather than in a hotel. Adele is a wonderful hostess and went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable. The housekeeping ladies were efficient and kind and make awesome homemade jam! I would ALWAYS stay here if I return to Essaouira.

The rooms are very tastefully furnished. Breakfast, as is typical in Moroccan riads, is very good. It's a small riad with just a few rooms, tucked away in a narrow alley not far from the fishing port. The only downside is that the so-called "barrier-free double room" is advertised as 23 square meters, but it's actually only about 14 square meters. The double bed is only 1.40 meters wide. A wheelchair wouldn't be able to get past the bed to get to the bathroom. You can open one suitcase at a time, but then you have to close it again to move around the room. The view is of the small, dark alley. The room is on the ground floor.
