This property is in an excellent location in the medina of Essaouira. Walkable to all the main interest areas, including the ramparts, the beach, and the shopping and restaurant areas. Safe and quiet. While parts of the property unfortunately suffer from some of the inevitable mildew that can take hold in Essaouira, there are many different terraces and inner sitting rooms that one can lounge in quietly. The air from the ocean when the winds are milder is wonderful. Some rooms have sea views, as did ours, very beautiful. The decor is a bit funky and interesting with artistic touches all around and pieces I would have liked to know more about. The staff are sweet, very discreet, it is much like having a private place to live in, as we did for four days. Breakfast is very good, home cooked by the housekeeper who is a very nice lady.
