A lovely house in a quiet district of Essaouira's medina. We were one of the first guests to stay there as the house has recently been renovated and I have to say it is fantastic!
The owners have thought of everything, right down to an Alessi corkscrew and loads of other quirky details - but you can tell they also really care about the local community as they ask people to bring old clothes to give out to poor families and they give some of their profit to charity too. Although there are plenty of modern conveniences in the house the feeling is really Moroccan, but with a twist.
We loved the location too, as its a bit off the beaten track and it's great just to sit in the lounge and spy on the street below. The views from the terraces are fantastic, and to be honest we enjoyed staying here much more than the ultra-posh riad we'd just stayed at in Marrakech, because here we had the place completely to ourselves. It's also cheap!
