Big but dark en moisture Property

The property is big. We had the whole property for our own. All kids had their own bedroom and bathroom. In the morning they made our breakfast and that's very nice. While we stayed here for more than a week we missed changes in the breakfast. Furthermore the property is very dark en really moisture. All our clothes and blankets stayed wet all the time. We therefor decided to move earlier.

Situation exceptionnelle

Nous y avons passé un très bon séjour. Accueil très sympathique de Latifa qui reste aux petits soins pour nous. Le seul bémol est l'accès un peu difficile à la terrasse vu la moyenne d'âge de notre groupe et quelques lacunes au niveau de l'électricité dans le séjour. Maison très cocooning !

Stunning villa In Great location with water view from roof terrace.

Latifa provides a beautiful breakfast each morning and for a small extra few will make you the most delicious dinner. We would recommend this villa to any family to friends visiting Essaouria

Tolle Organisation, tolle Lage, super Betreuung

Unsere 6 Tage in Essaouira waren wunderbar. Die Lage des Hauses ist topp. Die versprochene Meersicht aus der 3. Etage ist zwar mittlerweile verbaut, aber das kann man verzeihen. Auch sind die Möbel auf der Dachterasse schlicht, das Haus insgesamt etwas kühl und feucht, aber so ist das eben - es gibt keine Zentralheizung und das Meeresklima mit Wind und Wellen tut sein Werk. Hier darf man keine europäischen Maßstäbe ansetzen. Wir hatten einen Kamin und jedes Schlafzimmer und Bad hatten eine Elektroheizung. Wirklich hervorragend war die Betreuung. Wir waren das erste Mal in Marroko und Pascale hatte alles perfekt organisiert. Am FH stand das Taxi, am Eingang zur Medina der "Gepäckservice" und im Haus wartete Latifa - unsere PERLE: Frühstück zu jeder von uns gewünschten Zeit, alle 2 Tage Handtuchwechsel, nach 3 Tagen Wechsel der Bettwäsche, zu allen Fragen wurde uns geholfen, warmherzig und gastfreundlich! Und auch für unsere Abreise hatte Pascale alles organisiert. Träger und Taxi kamen pünktlich, der Taxifahrer organisierte dann noch in Marrakesh alles, damit wir unser Riad dort gut fanden - es war toll und wir danken von Herzen!
