“Celebrating a 50th birthday!!”
We stayed at this Riad for 3 nights, followed by 2 in Essaouira (same owner). We were three female friends celebrating a 50th birthday! I found this Riad via trip adviser and we received what we saw and MORE!! Olivier and his staff were wonderful - so welcoming! Our first visit to Morocco, which was such a culture shock (in a good way) and could have been more overwhelming, however, with the help of the Riad staff, we were given sound advise and direction! "5 min walk to the market or 5hrs if you get lost" was very true and thankfully that's where the mobile phone which we were lent by the Riad gave us security! We were recommended a wonderful restaurant to dine at, Hammam to relax at, places to visit and English speaking tour guides! We also stayed at the house in Essaouira and our host Said could not have done more for us either. We had the whole house to ourselves and found everything very comfortable and a wonderful sanctuary. Essaouira is much quieter than Marrakech and whilst Marrakech was a "must see" it was a pleasure to spend time in the much more quiet and scenic Essaouira! We felt very safe at both Riads! Thanks for making great memories! Would recommend and would like to come back one day!!
