Staff were all so friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Fresh roses everywhere. Large bottle of water in the room always provided. Excellent and plentiful breakfast. Staff happy to make arrangements for us for luggage transfer and for car to Marrakesh. Location perfect and views from up top wonderful. Linens and towels fresh and plentiful

Small issue only - I wish there could have been more room to hang clothes and put away clothes as there were 2 of us and we were there for 6 nights.

I really liked having breakfast everyday on the roof terrace, and spending time on the sun loungers during the afternoons. It made the Riad feel like better value for money as it was more than just a place to sleep, but also a lovely place to spend time during the day and take in the rooftop and sea views. The room was very comfortable, and had great storage.

If I had to give any feedback, it would be nice to have proper doors on the en-suite bathrooms. However, this seems to be a common theme with Riads in Morocco so this is not specific to this property. I also booked airport transfers through the Riad, but was required to pay for these in cash directly to the drivers which was a bit difficult, I would have liked to pay the Riad by card and have them sort out the payment.

Very good breakfasts. Extremely polite and attentive staff. The room is adequate in size with modern bathroom hardware and reliable water. The Villa is well placed in the town: close to everything yet very quiet. The staff took care of all our needs and provided useful information. If you have balance issues request a room on a lower floor. Though the terrace is charming it is a long way up.

Absolutely not their fault but it was very windy. Apparently Essaouira is a windy little town. The presence of Portuguese architecture makes the town quite unique.

Beautiful riad in the center of the old town. Loved the breakfast in the morning (the omelet was fantastic) and the design of the entire place was perfect.

The only issue that I think others have wrote about is that the local boys play football in the streets every day, which can be a bit loud if you have front room and the windows open. They typically go home for dinner, which means that the evenings were still quiet so we didn't really mind.

The staff were super friendly and helpful day and night. The riad was charming and in a great location in the middel of the medina, walking distance to souks, restaurants and beach. Very spacious room in the rooftop, very comfortable bed, nice shower and toiletries. Wifi just a bit slow in the rooftop.

Be ready to climb some steps to enjoy the breakfast on the rooftop. For us it wasn’t a problem, our room was also on the rooftop and we totally enjoyed it. The breakfast could have a little bit more of variety.

A beautiful place to put your bags down & relax. The Riads staff were friendly & warm. The breakfast service excellent and my room was very comfortable and clean. Thank you to the lovely ladies in Red (housekeeping) for making my stay memorable and the gentleman whom served breakfast with a smile each day.

we stayed in a beautiful terrace room that was very private. the view was extraordinary and there were several areas to lounge. The staff of the hotel were extremely helpful and booked people to help with luggage (the Riad is dime distance from the transport drop off), provided tips for shopping in arriving Medina, as well as restaurants, and also packed a light breakfast of bread and fruit for early morning travel. we ate dinner one night and MARIA and it was delicious with a wonderful seafood option.. 

we really loved everything about the Riad . there w were three flights of steep stairs (typical of the properties that we stayed in) that would be a challenge for anybody with ambulatory issues.

We had a nice room. The breakfast on the terrace was good. The staff were helpful.

We were given a different room than the one we'd booked, and this change wasn't acknowledged by the owners. We didn't complain because the new room was comparable, although the specific amenities were different, and we'd already settled in by the time I realized the switch had happened. But it should have been cleared with us before it happened.

The staff couldn't do enough for us.. They were friendly and attentive, and we had a great massage, too. It is beautfully decorated and very tranquil even though very centrally located. The terrace ( and breakfast) were exquisite. I'd certainly stay here again; it didn't disappoint. Thank you for a great stay.

We liked everything about the property, the location was perfectly situated in the heart of la Medina, the property authentically decorated, the service was super, the team smiling and polite all day long and night, authentic breakfast and generous with a breathtaking view, the room amazingly clean, warm and comfy, it makes you feel you’re home. In addition, we want to mention that whatever you need to know, to explore and where to eat and drink and have fun, the Diva Rabiaa is the main person to ask, she is the Essaouira Queen 🥰, don’t hesitate to call her and get the info prior or during your stay. we love you Rabiaa and all the team of Villa Garance Ghofrane & Mira

None, everything is perfect.
