Spectacular views!!! The stairs were steep as mentioned in previous reviews, but the climb was really worth it. Beautiful place. Great café right downstairs. I listened to the ocean waves. You can't do better.
Medina House · Essaouira
Above the port, facing the Atlantic.
180 m²
8 guests
4 bedrooms
3 bathrooms
The house occupies the upper floors of an old medina building. You enter through a low door on the street, climb a stone staircase, and the living room opens onto the Atlantic. The lighthouse sits to the left, the ramparts just below.
Several bedrooms spread across five floors — enough space for everyone to have their own corner. Equipped kitchen, recently renovated bathrooms, rooftop terrace with a 270° view.
In the morning you hear gulls and fishermen. In the evening the port lights up and golden light fills the room. That view is what brings people back.

What they say.
Imane's riad is very well located in the medina, incredible sea view, beautiful decor, very clean, very comfortable bedding and very easy to contact, I recommend!
An ideal place to explore Essaouira! Located in the medina, just a few minutes' walk from where the taxi dropped us. A little hard to find but Imane sent us a marker which helped. Kitchen well equipped, rooms were large. Lots of steep stairs as the property covers 5 floors, including the rooftop. Beautiful views from the roof, especially at sunset.
Beautiful house in a prime location! We were six here and felt very comfortable. The house is right in the medina on the ramparts near the port gate. From the second floor you have a stunning sea view — especially beautiful from the rooftop terrace! The decor is elegant and at the same time authentically Moroccan. The daily housekeeping was very nice. Overall, an ideal accommodation — perfect for discovering Essaouira in a relaxed way with lots of charm.
Exceptional place!!! That's it, all said. I'll come back to Essaouira and rent this place next time. Incredible...
