Dar Alva is a pretty 200m² villa, very recent, in dry stone. It is ideally located in the heart of the Moroccan countryside, 15 minutes from Essaouira, 15 minutes from Sidi Kaouki beach, 10 minutes from the airport. Quiet in the countryside, after only 600 m of very passable track, the house combines in its decoration and materials the charm and authenticity of Morocco (tadelakt, bejmate, zellige, dry stone) and modernity, with all the comforts high-end: heated swimming pool, air conditioning in all rooms, bathrooms and individual WCs for each of the 4 bedrooms, wifi internet access (first recharge offered), satellite cable TV. Our services include the services of a gardener who also maintains the swimming pool, and a lady who provides daily cleaning as well as the preparation of breakfast (preparation of lunch and dinner at an additional cost).
In 10 to 15 min maximum, a multitude of activities are at your fingertips: from kitesurfing to quad or horseback rides on the beach, typical rural souks to walks on the ramparts or in the alleys of the old Mogador, the superb golf of Essaouira for 4x4 hikes in the middle of argan forests. The house has a large living room with its table that can accommodate 8 people. The ground floor is completed by a kitchen, a guest toilet and a first taupe bedroom with bathroom and dressing room, giving direct access to the terrace and the swimming pool. On the 1st floor you will find 3 bedrooms with dressing rooms and bathrooms, two of which give access to a terrace with views of the swimming pool and the countryside. The 9m x 5m swimming pool can be heated if necessary (additional charge). 6 individual deckchairs and 1 double deckchair, with very comfortable mattresses, will welcome you (towels provided), unless you prefer to sit in the lounge area of the pool house. A dining area for 8 people is also available.

My first trip to Morocco, as a Canadian with essentially no french or arabic. The staff were fabulous and caring. House is amazing and just as described. The 1km drive through the pasture was easy and it's a great location for exploring.
C’est la deuxième fois que nous y allions,Des travaux ont été réalisés depuis la dernière fois et ont encore amélioré l’endroit. Seul remarque, c’est que à des prix comme cela à la nuitée le chauffage piscine pourrait être inclus dans le prix.
Une magnifique propriété d'une propreté sans faille. Tout le confort moderne allié aux charmes du Maroc traditionnel. Piscine magnifique, jardin luxuriant, climatisation partout...
Tout ce confort ne serait rien sans l'âme de la maison personnifié en Fatim-Zahra qui a ravis nos papilles et s'est même liée avec nos enfants...
Tout était parfait, Radija la gouvernante super sympathique et prévenante.
Seul petit bémol, la piste un peu défoncée. Mais il y a moins de 1km et la villa en vaut vraiment la peine. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation.
We had a fantastic stay. The garden was beautifully looked after as well as the house and the staff were so kind. We would love to come back again and really recommend it.

Belle propriété mais petits détails frustrants
Très belle propriété; agréable. Situation géographique loin de tout mais nous le savions avant de partir.
Les petits détails : Pas de manuel du locataire. Plusieurs jours de délais avant d'avoir des piles pour les climatiseurs et pour ravoir internet. Internet très lent. Gestion des poubelles problématique.

Le manuel du locataire est présent désormais et des piles de rechange pour télécommandes toujours disponibles ;-) enfin nous avons changé de réseau Internet depuis, et résolu la gestion des poubelles, les locataires n’ont bien sûr pas à s’en préoccuper. Merci de nous avoir fait progresser.
Magnifique villa avec de hautes prestations, au calme et très bien équipée .
Seul petit reproche un peu éloigné d’essaouira et des plages. L’avantage de l’éloignement dans les terres est d’être protégée du vent.
Sophiane qui est en charge de gérer la villa sur place est au top et disponible, la gouvernante aussi.
Tout est parfait pour passer un agréable séjour, on recommande.
Very happy with this beautiful and well maintained property. The pictures are very accurate and we had a great stay with 3 kids aged 8-13.

Lovely high-spec villa
We had a lovely stay at Valérie's villa. The villa itself is very high spec with good size ensuite bedrooms. The beds are really comfy and showers good, super views from the balcony. There are lots of seating options for eating inside or outside - the garden is just lovely. We asked for the pool to be heated and it was wonderfully warm, we spent many hours splashing around.
The living room was spacious enough for 2 families, there was a TV but only French channels, Wifi was intermittent and only 3G so we couldn't use our streaming services so didn't use the TV at all.
The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to cook evening meals. There was a very nice housekeeper who will prepare meals if you provide the ingredients - we didn't do this as we enjoy cooking ourselves. You do need to provide some basics for the house - we needed to buy bin bags and soap for the bathrooms.
The area is very rural and it's a drive to the town but being inland meant the temperature was warmer. It's a lovely villa and we would happily return.

An amazing, stylish villa with great service
We had a fantastic week at Valerie's villa in the countryside just outside Essaouira. It is a beautifully designed house with every thing you need for a very comfortable, stylish stay. The pool is wonderful, the loungers wide and the outdoor seating and eating area is a fantastic touch. Siad met us at the airport, helped us hire a car and looked after us beautifully. He couldn't have been kinder offering hints and tips for visits and even providing a hairdryer when we forgot ours. His English is excellent which was useful as our French is limited! The villa is kept sparkling by a lovely lady called Miriam who is very professional, smiley in the mornings and unobtrusive. She made us breakfast every day which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The garden and pool are also cared for daily and immaculate. The villa is a little way out of town and so is fantastically quiet, with great views and large starry skies. A welcome change from the Medina. We have stayed in this area many times but having found this special place we hope to be back soon. Don't hesitate to book!
