Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce gîte. Il est construit et aménagé avec beaucoup de goût et une grande attention aux détails – on s'y sent immédiatement à l'aise. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le magnifique jardin offrant beaucoup d'intimité, parfait pour se détendre. Les hôtes ont également été très chaleureux, attentionnés et toujours disponibles, sans être envahissants. Dans l'ensemble, un endroit où nous serions heureux de revenir – recommandation absolue !

Guest reviews
What they say.
Spectacular views!!! The stairs were steep as mentioned in previous reviews, but the climb was absolutely worth it. Beautiful place. Great café right downstairs. I listened to the ocean waves. It doesn't get better than this.
Le séjour a été fantastique et a certainement couronné notre voyage au Maroc. La villa est fantastique et le personnel est charmant. Le terrain de padel était fantastique et nous avons passé un super séjour à jouer. L'emplacement était parfaitement isolé. Je ne saurais trop le recommander.
Le Riad d'Imane est très bien situé dans la Medina, vue incroyable sur la mer, très belle déco, très propre, literie très confortable et contacts très facile, je recommande !
Our stay was incredible! The house was just as beautiful as in the photos and the cook and housekeeper were perfect. They cooked delicious meals all week. The bedrooms were clean and beautifully finished.
A perfect base for exploring Essaouira! Located in the medina, just a few minutes' walk from where the taxi dropped us. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms were spacious. There are many steep stairs as the property spans 5 floors including the rooftop terrace. Beautiful views from the top, especially at sunset.
Le meilleur Airbnb dans lequel j'ai jamais séjourné ! La villa est magnifique et le service est excellent. Vous devez absolument essayer le tajine d'agneau que le cuisinier vous préparera. Le terrain de padel privé est également super et en très bon état.
Magnificent house in a privileged location! Situated right in the medina on the ramparts near the port gate. From the second floor, stunning sea views – particularly beautiful from the rooftop terrace. The decor is elegant and authentically Moroccan. Daily housekeeping was a great touch. Ideal accommodation for discovering Essaouira with plenty of charm.
Our stay was simply fantastic! The accommodation was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, making it incredibly welcoming. Imane was an exceptional host, always available for questions and full of useful tips about local sights and restaurants. The perfect place to relax and explore the region. We highly recommend it and look forward to our next visit!
Exceptional place!!! That says it all. I will come back to Essaouira and rent this place next time. Incredible...
