Abdul was extremely helpful and did an excellent job of rearranging the taxi he had booked for us when we had to change arrival airports and he welcomed us to the house when we arrived at midnight instead of around 7pm as originally scheduled. His wife prepared a tasty tagine for us. Abdul was helpful throughout our stay. The property is in a good, quiet location in the centre of the medina, which felt very safe to walk around. We were glad of the heaters in the property as it was quite cold in the evenings during February.

Magical

Brigittes Riad was beautiful, a well loved and cherished place full of art, plants and occasionally a desert sparrow who would come and sing in the mornings. Our arrival and orientation was well planned and we felt very looked after by Abdul and Nadia. My teenage girl loved the roof for sunbathing and my husband surfed everyday on the beach which was a brisk 5 minute walk away. It was perfect and I would highly recommend Brigittes Riad and Essaouira as a place to stay.

Ticked all the boxes

6 of us ( over 60 ) spent 4 nights at the Riad. Location in the Medina with roof terrace. Plenty of space and hot water and Moroccan artefacts. Spread over 3 floors. Continental Breakfast included which set us up for the day. Excellent value for money and thoroughly recommend. Only downside for some people is the stairs/ access to floors and lack of A/C which did not bother us.

Relaxed stay. Good location .

Attractive decor .Nadiya and Abdul were very helpful..Great roof terrace though furniture and cushions not as in photos. Smelly groundr floor rooms . Dusty throughout . .We stayed 5 nights and there was no new towels, sheets or any tidying done . A pleasant breakfast of bread and croissants was prepared and pots washed by Nadiya, but not provided on a Sunday .We bought our own yoghurt , milk and water .

Un mĂ©lange d’odeurs

Nous avons passĂ© une semaine magnifique entre amis dans ce Riad pour les fĂȘtes de fin d’annĂ©es. Nous Ă©tions 8 et avions chacun notre espace. La maison est trĂšs agrĂ©able Ă  vivre.Nous avons profitĂ© de la plage, arpenter les ruelles toutes plus jolies les une que les autres sous le soleil.. ApprĂ©ciez ce mĂ©lange subtile de plantes, d’herbes aromatiques, d’huiles et d’épices. Nadia nous a cuisinĂ© des plats succulents et Abdul nous a bien guidĂ© toute la semaine. Nous avons dĂ©couvert un beau pays avec des gens trĂšs gentils.

Sejour familial juillet 2018

séjour fabuleux dans ce superbe riad , parfait pour 6 personnes .avec en prime tout le confort européen . situé en plein coeur de la Medina , il permet de s ' immerger dans la vie marocaine à Essaouira ;de profiter des souks et des restaurants locaux à toute heure ; l accueil des Marocains est fantastique . Essaouira est une ville parfaite pour les sports nautiques ( planche et kite ) ; le riad n est qu à 10 minutes à pied des plages . L'accueil d Abdul et les petits déjeuners de Latifa sont un plus trÚs appréciable . je n ai qu une envie ...y retourner !

Super stylish Riad with a wonderful roof terrace

This was my second stay at Dar Zouina and I loved it. My friends found the riad quirky and delightful. Unfortunately the weather was awful but Abdul provided a roaring fire. We managed 3 delicious breakfasts on the terrace in 10 days, provided by Latifa. After the acquisition of a capacious umbrella we were able to roam the streets of Essaouira and indulge in some serious shopping. its a wonderful town. I shall return.
