We arrived very late, they waited for us patiently. The house itself is beautiful, the hall, the breakfast area are authentic and also has a lot of space. Our "little" room was actually perfect for 2 people, so don't be afraid to reserve the small-sized room :) Clean bathroom, clean room, glasses and bottle of water in the room. About 200 m walk from the parking lot. The riad is very close to the main square, an easy walk to explore the city.

This beautiful new boutique hotel is stunningly designed, with every detail carefully thought through and perfectly in harmony. The architecture blends seamlessly into the peaceful countryside, and the interior décor is refined and consistent throughout. The Tamegroute pottery in particular added such a unique touch. The palm tree-lined driveway creates a sense of grandeur as you arrive. From the terrace, the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The pool is delightful: the water temperature was just right, and the sun loungers were comfortable. We stayed in the most basic (and therefore cheapest) room, but it was absolutely perfect: beautifully decorated, a comfortable bed, and a fantastic shower. This is the ideal place to escape the busy work life and truly relax. Some other reviewers mentioned the access road, but we honestly don’t understand the complaints. It’s just a typical Moroccan gravel side road, easily manageable if you drive slowly – as you should anyway, since you often come across goat herds on the way! The food is delicious; not an extensive menu, but that makes perfect sense for such a small-scale hotel where guests often dine in Essaouira. This way, every meal is fresh and nothing goes to waste. The tajines were outstanding, cooked with love, and the breakfasts were a real treat too: different types of pancakes, bread, a freshly made omelette. What really sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. We have traveled to Morocco before and know the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, but the kindness and genuine care of this team were truly exceptional. During our stay, nothing was ever too much trouble. Each staff member, in their own way, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for, and they did it from the heart! They also had a wonderful team spirit among themselves, which made us feel like part of the Zayyna family. Saying goodbye was genuinely difficult.

A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

We really recommend a stay at Riad Ghazal. It was very tidy and clean. We had our own bathroom and enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool. The breakfast was very good and everyone was lovely. You can also play pool billard at the riad.

Mette Hoegholm

From

Denmark

After traveling around in Marocco, we entered this peaceful paradise. We loved the place! Every where you look around you find beauty decorations and beautiful small little details. The rooms, the terraces, the swimming pool area, the dining area and all the small cozy lounge areas were just so lovely and aesthetic decorated. The owner and the very kind staff did everything they could to give us a fantastic stay. They were just so sweet, welcoming and kind. Made us really feel at home at their beautiful place and came several times to the pool with small surprising refreshments for us. Breakfasts and dinners were really well tasting, varied and with a lot of nice different stuff. Even the dinner table was differently decorated for each meal with fresh flowers and beautiful details.

Malvin

From

We had a 3-night stay at Terrasses Vertes. At first it was a bit difficult to find as we didn't read the instructions, so do that ;) Simon, the host, was super friendly and welcoming. We had had a little issue with our room and after addressing it to Simon, we could get another room which was perfect! Great service. Rooms provide all comforts and the garden/pool area provide a perfect place to relax (in March it was still a bit too cold for a swim, but chilling in the afternoon/evening sun was amazing! Breakfast ist good, didn't try dinner thought (had that in Essaouira).
