      Nice atmosphere, good breakfast

      we stayed two nights in this beautiful riad and enjoyed it very much. the room had a very nice atmosphere and a characteristic bathroom. but the best thing about the place was the breakfast which was more than complete compared to other breakfasts we had in morocco. and everyday slightly different so if you stay longer you can enjoy more of the food. a special thanks to hakim for lending me his sweater (as nights can be cold in essaouira). credit cards are accepted but only if the total sum to be paid is more than dirham. it would be nice to know this before booking.

      Joli Ryad, décoré avec soins avec de nombreux meubles et objets décoratifs anciens et chinés. On profite peu du toit terrasse en raison du vent d'Essaouira ( le petit déjeuner se prend a l’intérieur). Un regret : nous étions venu dans ce Ryad pour y faire un dîner gastronomique, mais nous avons été prévenus quelques jours avant que le restaurant ne serait pas ouvert ce soir la.
