With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio and a swimming pool. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

We absolutely loved our stay. The Villa is even more gorgeous than the photos. Nadia has such incredible style and has designed the interior and garden beautifully. The whole team are a delight (Nadia, Pierre, Samira, Sadia and others) and we felt so well cared for, it felt like 5 star accommodation. The food is totally delicious and we enjoyed our meals in even more than the restaurants in Essouria. Breakfast was perfect and each day a little different. We also really appreciated the efforts put into making the dining table look so beautiful each evening. Afternoon tea was lovely too - and again, each day a little different. I can't recommend this villa highly enough. It was very hard to leave - even after 10 nights! Heartfelt thanks to Nadia, Pierre and all the team for your impeccable hospitality - you've created a little piece of paradise that we can't wait to return to already

    Amazing stay that combines the service and convenience of staying in a Riad with the privacy of a private home. The staff were lovely and available for included and additional services (we recommend the shopping and meal at home!). The house is huge and comfortable for larger group stays.
