Firstly I must say a huge thank you to your wonderful housekeeping staff,Kamar and Youssef who both did so much to make us feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Youssef in particular was an absolute joy.
His infectious laugh and his enthusiasm for everything made us smile.Nothing was too much trouble and each day he left the house spotless, cleaning each room before he left (though I think the girls' bedroom had him beaten - imagine the paraphernalia that two teenage girls take away with them - hair straighteners, make up, endless pairs of shoes and enough clothes between them for a month) In the end, quite rightly, he just cleaned their bathroom then made a hasty retreat!!
The meal he cooked on the first night was superb and arriving to a cosy log fire and the delicious smell of cooking was just so welcoming.
During our week in Essaouira we did not venture far from your beautiful Riadh as we felt so comfortable and at home there - it really did feel like our own personal oasis. Each room has been so beautifully decorated. We loved snuggling down in the TV room of an evening, listening to the passers-by and the young footballers in the alley outside.
We made good use of the roof top terrace which is a fantastic little sun trap and far better than the beach which although very pretty is, as all the guidebooks warn, very windy.
Also, can I thank you for helping to answer all my daft questions prior to the holiday - your various emails put my mind at ease and everything - including the taxi transfers - went like clockwork. Your helpfulness throughout has been fantastic.
In all, Morocco and in particular Essaouira exceeded our expectations - the people, as you said, are so warm and friendly and have such a wonderful sense of humour. Your beautiful home was everything we could have hoped for and more.
