Photos and Description of this Essaouira holiday house
4 Double bedrooms, 1 double mezzanine bed; 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite); sleeps 8/10

Dar Zette is a beautiful & tranquil house hidden away in the heart of the 18th century medina. Recently restored to combine modern comforts with Moroccan tradition, it has the added advantage of a large pretty courtyard complete with olive tree and fountain. Perfectly situated for the bustling souks selling spices, carpets, jewelled slippers &Thuya wood boxes with cafes and restaurants nearby and the wide sandy beach of Essaouira only a minute away.

Surrounding the open courtyard on two sides, the house offers light and peace. The wide folding doors of the salon allow the ground floor rooms and courtyard to become as one – wonderful by candlelight in the evening. Built on 4 floors, the house allows much privacy for reading and sunbathing. Kilim covered armchairs, hand-painted furniture, old chandeliers and antique rugs throughout, Dar Zette has it all.

A UNESCO world heritage listed city, Essaouira has a relaxed laid-back atmosphere where you can enjoy the hubub of the souk, the bustle of the busy port with its fish market, the romance of a walk along the ramparts at sunset or exploring the streets and hidden passageways of this special town.

Lovely house!!

Review Submitted: May 10, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We too loved the house, it´s location, the staff and well - everything.

The house was everything in the photos shown here, and then some.
A lot of space for those who need it, but still cozy.
Communication was great and the on site staff couldn´t have been more helpful.

Sorry to say the house is already occupied for our next visit but we´ll be back, for sure!

A feeling of your own home

Review Submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
Hi Penny

We have now returned from our week in dar zette.

We felt immediately at home and thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having a home instead of just a hotel room. It was surprising how it felt as being in a tranquil place in the countryside - despite really being at a main street of the medina.

All practical things worked well - and perhaps the only thing we missed was the sound of the fountain - but it may not be the last time we visit dar zette and we may therefore have a chance of listening to that as well.

Thank you for all help and instructions.

Oasis of calm in the Essaouira medina.

Review Submitted: March 29, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010
A great week at Dar Zette, an oasis of calm off a busy, ordinary street in the medina. The contacts in England and Esaouira couldn't have been more helpful. We ate Sadir's breakfasts and meals as well as at several recommended restaurants. We also enjoyed the street food and buying our own provisions, as well as predominately hassle free mooching and shopping.
Arrival, departure and an excursion out of town were all organised
efficiently by Foued.
I would definitely recommend Dar Zette as a place to stay in Essaouira.

A Home From Home

Review Submitted: March 13, 2010 Date of Stay: March 2010
This is a surprising place, and we had it all for just two of us! Who would think that you could be so close to everything, but still enjoy your own oasis of calm. The house has everything you need and is very well equipped. We enjoyed a very relaxing week, with daily breakfast provided by the wonderful Sadir. As we arrived in the evening Sadir provided us with a wonderful meal, which we washed down with duty free wine. We had sunshine, a bit of rain, and some windy conditions, but we always managed to enjoy ourselves. The sun moves round the house, so you can always find a sunny spot to relax and read your book.
Although we were on holiday we did appreciate keeping in touch with the rest of the world using the house wi-fi connection. The locals are very friendly and even understood our rusty french. We enjoyed shopping for fruit and other goodies, people-watching from street cafes, and visiting as many restaurants as we could.
The owners supplied us with lots of helpful information which we really appreciated. The local managers of the house were great and nothing was too much trouble for them. When can we go again?
