Had a good time
There was some nonsense at the beginning where they tried to transfer us to another riad (conveniently one that was being advertised on here 30% cheaper) but after we moved back everything was very good. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We only stayed for one night, but we had a good time although the silliness at the beginning was a bit of a let-down. The rooms don't have air conditioning (contrary to the listing here) but apparently that's being corrected.

Hidden Gem in the medina, Essaouira
A delightful riad in the medina area of Essaouira. Omar, the manager, sent a man with a cart to the Bab (gate) to collect us and our luggage from the drop off point. He greeted us with tea and gave us a map with details of best places to eat. Room comfortable with en suite. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace. The ladies that made breakfast were wonderful, as were the breakfasts. No need to eat all day. Our only disappointment would be the lack of light in the bathroom, but other than that we were thoroughly delighted with it.

Riad très bien situé. Mais: ni le propriétaire ni le gérant se sont présentés au cours de ces 4 jours! AUCUN service proposé à part un accueil chaleureux et pro par une jeune femme. Impression générale de "déranger "... Personne pour nous demander notre horaire de départ, nous proposer un taxi ou s'enquérir de savoir si nous allions prendre un petit déjeuner. Très étonnant au Maroc!! Bref ce Riad mériterait d'être mieux tenu .

Un hâvre de calme,un accueil de qualité.
Une excellente adresse pour passer un séjour enchanteur,dans un petit bijou de calme,de raffinement,où l'on est extrêmement bien entouré et choyé,d'abord par Omar,le gérant,qui veille avec beaucoup de générosité et de tact,à ce que l'on se sente comme chez soi,et aussi par l'équipe chaleureuse qui l'entoure! Si l'on est un amoureux du Maroc,Omar se fera une joie de nous faire visiter l'intérieur des terres,le "vrai Maroc",comme il dit!Merci pour cet accueil si chaleureux!
