“Beautiful and relaxed time in Essaouira”
The Hotel is beautiful and unique in a colonial style architecture. Perfect to spend a nice time in Essaouira. The rooms are clean, the breakfast on the roof top is tasty and the staff is very friendly. Especially Noureddine at the reception is accommodating with every concern of the guests.

“A great location to stay”
We stayed in Villa De L’o for a week. The location just inside the walls of the town and opposite the beach is excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was traditional Moroccan : fruit, pancakes, pastry, omelette, and more which we enjoyed each morning. Our bedroom was overlooking the beach and had both a shower and a bath. It was large and cleaned every day. The sun deck needed a little TLC but otherwise this was a great stay and we loved our week in Essaouira.

“Perfect location and base to explore beautiful Essaouria”
We spent 8 nights at this superb Riad. The hotel staff were incredible. Couldn't do enough for us and so very helpful and friendly. We felt truly welcome. Great recommendations for restaurants too! Room was spacious and comfortable. Quiet - just the seagulls and the calls to prayer from the local minarets awoke us in the mornings. Lovely atmosphere and rich in Moroccan heritage. The town itself is such a good get away, lots of great places to eat, lots of first class beautiful moroccan hand made souvenirs, textiles, shoes, pottery - you name it! The tagines are delicious with fresh fish caught that morning. The fishing harbour, beach, fortifications and the waves crashing on the rocks outside the city walls. Like a movie set. Magical.

“Great Riad Hotel in heart of Essaouira's Medina”
Superb Riad inside the fortified Medina of Essaouira. Great team on reception able to speak French and English. Capacious rooms with wonderful ensuite. Fabulous breakfast with different patisserie and egg options and very attentive service. Suitcases carted outside to waiting taxi as not able to enter Medina

“Beautiful old building with fabulous staff and management.”
The building is absolutely remarkable. It's got some wonderful touches, amazing history, large rooms with big bathtubs, and a rooftop overlooking the ocean. The staff were truly the best. They were accommodating, friendly, and hard-working. Our only suggestion would be that the owners – who we did not meet – invest in the place a little bit more. They've definitely done their job with making the rooms comfortable and beautiful but the rooftop, and small touches throughout the building in the way of repairs and maintenance, would go a long way. The monetary investment should match the investment in such an amazing management team there.
