Lovely stay in Essaouira medina
We enjoyed our stay here very much. We were met at the car park as arranged and guided to the riad which was in a quiet alley around 10 minutes walk away. It is a beautiful house with far reaching sea views from the roof terrace which we enjoyed very much There were a couple of minor issues but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our favourite part was to watch the sunset from the rooftop each evening. There are many restaurants close by and nowhere, including the beach and port are more than 15mins walk away.

Cool, quiet, spacious place to stay
Dar Ettouahen exceeded our expectations, it is well equipped and quirky, the roof terrace with sea views sets it apart. It is 15 minutes flat walk across the medina to a glorious sandy beach. Car parking is £7 for 24 hours and is 10 minutes walk to the riad. The main supermarket is outside Essaouira so we stocked up for self catering on the way in. You can find well cooked food with drinks for £15/euro per head in dozens of restaurants nearby. The arrangements for picking up the key/finding where to park are haphazard (the sole means of communication being telephone) but once over that hurdle the apartment is excellent.

Great location, lovely food
Lovely property in a great central location. Lots to explore and do in Essaouira. We had lots of lovely food at local restaurants and breakfast was amazing each morning at the riad. We would recommend the quad biking with Palma Quad on the beach front and also a visit to Hotel Des Iles to use the pool. The local cafe does the most amazing avocado toast! Great shopping and prices very reasonable for momentoes and trinkets. It was very windy when we first arrived and so we had to shut the windows in the house which led to a little dampness. Also the local temple was being renovated so building work during the day was a slight disturbance. However overall the house was a great base with plenty of space and amenities which was very good value.

Great riad, perfect position.
Myself and a series of friends stayed here for 5 weeks in Feb/March. The riad was beautiful and going to sleep with the sound of the waves in the background was very soothing. I still miss that. Fouad and Kadisha were both very helpful and good at what they do. Fouad took us to the Sunday market in Had Draa to see the livestock market and all the local comings and goings. Highly recommended. All of us staying here are keen foodies and enjoy cooking in foreign lands with local ingredients, and the only slight disappointment was the kitchen equipment which fell a bit short. The saucepans were losing both their teflon and their handles, and could really do with replacing and ideally it would have been nice to have had an oven capable of cooking a tagine (especially as we were provided with one!). Another socket in the area by the kettle would be good as making toast and boiling the kettle had to be done in relays. Of course, none of that would matter if you weren't into cooking and we did manage to overcome most of the problems. Would I stay here again? Oh yes, in a heartbeat.

Delightful house in the centre of the Medina. Khadija cooked fabulous breakfast every day.
We spent a week here. Everything is very local and it's very easy to go out and buy food to cook. House is immaculate. It has everything you need. Fouad was helpful if we needed advice. Lovely house.

Charming, well equipped,great for large group.
Cool private riad with excellent cook and fabulous views over coast from the roof terrace. Sleeps 8 easily and 9/10 if pushed. Situated in the Medina, so convenient for everything. Essouira is a beautiful atmospheric city, fabulous beach, good mix of tourists and locals. Enjoyed camel riding, quad bikes and visit to La Fromagerie, a taxi ride out of town for a pleasant lunch, but be warned, much hotter inland... Riad whilst delightfully cool, is damp due to humidity, towels and clothes never dry. Bathrooms adequate.

Superb property and excellent local help
A truly beautiful property with the advantage of Fouad to phone taxis / organise trips - he is a mine of information. Kadisha will cook for you and we'd recommend taking her up on that. The logistics worked very smoothly with Fouad organising the taxi from the airport then meeting us outside the Medina with a porter for the luggage (the Medina being traffic free). We were a little unfortunate in that consistently windy weather kept us from enjoying the sun terrace with its lovely sea views. Other than that we had a great time - local restaurants are very reasonably priced (speak to Fouad for recommendations).

Lovely riad in a great spot with fabulous views!
Four of us (two couples) stayed here for 3 nights in February and had a fabulous time. Unsurprisingly, we had more than enough space and had a very comfortable stay. We made little use of the terrace as it wasn't that warm during our visit but the views over the sea are beautiful. We did make very good use of the fire each evening for which Fouad provided us with wood on our first day and really enjoyed the living space on the ground floor. The kitchen seemed very well stocked although we made little use of it apart from keeping drinks in the fridge and making mint tea! The riad is in a great location in the medina and we would recommend it for families or groups. Everything is within very easy reach and the whole place is very friendly and welcoming. Jen was really helpful with communications beforehand including organising for us a very punctual and comfortable taxi pick up from our riad in Marrakech to bring us to Dar Ettouahen. Many thanks - we hope to come back!

A wonderful New Year break
We were three generations, ten of us altogether, who thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dar Ettouahen. We will miss the sea views from the roof, the warmth and friendliness of the people, the endless fascination of the markets, and the fresh food. Vegetables there are wonderful. We had intended to cook for ourselves but after sampling Kahdisha's cooking on the first night we could not resist it on most subsequent nights, apart from a couple of occasions when we tried a restaurant. Some of us had never been to Morocco before and were worried about the potential for stomach bugs but we all remained really well. The taxi arrangements were excellent, with child seats provided as requested, and very good drivers. The property was clean and comfortable. We would recommend staying here, it is inside the Medina so no traffic - we spent our days walking about exploring the town, the beach, and the port, and were never bored. Thank you!
