Right in the heart of the Old City
The location, staff, and owners were wonderful. On a cost basis you could not beat the place. The rooms were reasonably size and the roof top garden was a nice extra. Would we stay there again, yes! My only comment is that the water pressure was very low and generally some updates should be made to the place. Having said that, it is definitely worth the price and you could not have nicer owners.

Fantastic stay
Beautiful Riad, perfect location - Emma and David were very helpful in the booking process, and Abdul with travel queries with buses etc. Aisha the maid was absolutely lovely. We could not have enjoyed it more and would recommend to anyone. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Location is fantastic - centre of everything but relatively quiet. Breakfast is nice but evening meal was gorgeous - nicest meal we had during our 2 week stay in Morocco. Rooms are comfortable. Massive terrace was great. Abdaul and Aicha we’re great hosts - very helpful and communication was good. There was a slight dampness throughput the riad that we didn’t notice in other riads that we stayed in.

A Family Holiday
We had a wonderful time, Aicha and Abdul were great with us and the breakfasts were good.. The riad was perfect for a family. It was not so good if you wanted to self cater as the kitchen and cooking utensils seemed rather 'tired', as did a lot of the decoration. The info needs updating -the hammam we hoped to use was closed down. Overall the riad was right for us.

Nice property well located
the property was nice and we slept well, nicely decorated and cosy downstairs if it was cold. My only niggle was the roof terrace, not enough sun beds for a 5 bed house and a bit economical on the cushions...could really do with a small kitchen area on terrace.

Wonderful place.
Dar Leila was a perfect place to stay in Essaouira. Right in the middle of the medina and just minutes away from interesting restaurants, cafes and shops. So lovely just to get lost the first few times walking around knowing that you come to the town walls eventually and can easily find your way back. The riad itself was gorgeous. Homely and filled with everything we needed, even spare travel plugs and a decent wireless speaker for the iPod. Abdaul made the loveliest breakfasts each day (brilliant pancakes) on the terrace and was really helpful in showing us how to get to Carrefour (brush up on your French to give directions to the taxi drivers back! ) where we brought food for one evening meal. Snacks, bread and pastries easily available from stalls right outside the riad. We had some amazing meals out and can recommend the freshly made pasta at Silvestros (event though admittedly it felt a bit odd to come to Morocco and eat Italian food, but the wood-fired pizzas were truly amazing) and the incredible tagines at La Licorne. Sat on the terrace outside 'Mega Loft' one night listening to the live music and wished we'd had time in the trip to eat there too. Definitely just wander round and see what takes your fancy. Loads of little places. Didn't really drink out (wine in restaurants reasonable) but did try the delicious carrot juice on the menu in many of the cafes. Can't fault this place at all. We also went (party of six) to Les Jardins de Villa Maroc. Walk to the Villa Maroc just by the SW corner of the city walls and book there. Price includes minibus out, towels, pool and lovely bbq and salad lunch for about £22. Overall, we really really loved Essouira. If you're looking for a city which has loads of interesting museums and churches etc then this might be quiet for you. However, if you're into people-watching, soaking up the atmosphere and eating some really amazing food then this is the place for you! We are certainly planning on coming back and will be coming back to Dar Leila for sure.

un très agréable riad pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis!
C'est un lieu chaleureux et très agréable pour passer un séjour entre amis, avec des enfants! Le caméléon de la maison a fait la joie des enfants! Le riad est très bien situé dans la médina et au calme!
