Everything was perfect. Loved it from the very first moment to the last. Nevertheless, I would like to highlight the staff, they were super nice and super helpful and very competent. The room was spacious, bed very good, breakfast excellent and the garden is the crown jewel. The villa is on the south end of the city, 20 minutes on foot from the medina gates. In the night it was very quiet, very good for people with lighter sleep.

The location in the heart of Medina was not only central, but it also opened our eyes to the daily life of the people living there. It was unbelievably quiet inside the Riad. Our room on the ground floor was spacious and surprisingly airy. Simo and his family are extremely hospitable, and they were attentive to our needs and wishes. We really enjoyed the upstairs terrace, both for breakfast, reading, working and occasional sunbathing. Full package, cannot but recommend Riad Bab Essaouira!

Great riad for a couple of days in Essaouira. Just outside the busier streets in the medina. Very friendly service. Small hotel with a lot of common areas, so easy to strike up conversation with other travelers - or get out of your room for a bit on a rainy day.

classic old school elegance. beautiful hotel with incredible staff who can’t do enough for you. The older porter in particular was the loveliest man. we had a problem with an aircon leak at night and were immediately moved into a new upgraded room. Roof top was brilliant with very comfortable sun loungers. breakfast had a great choice. Courtyard a lovely area to relax.
