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. .

2 novice travellers to Morocco

Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We just want to reiterate everything everyone else has said about their stay at Dar-Zette. We had a lovely 2 weeks in Essaouira and had the whole house to ourselves (just the 2 of us).

The people were welcoming, helpful and friendly, and we felt very safe in the medina.

Sadir is just as lovely as everyone says, and Nouredine was a charming young man who helped out while Foued awaited a new addition to his family.

Sun lovers will appreciate the rooftop terrace.

This was our first foray into booking a holiday without using a tourist agency and Ernie was very patient with us and was extremely helpful thoughout with our numerous queries! His replies were prompt and very much appreciated. He also provided several pages of recommended restaurants and we were glad of his advice as there were so many eateries it was quite mind-boggling!

Book Dar-Zette and you won't be disapppointed.

Artists stay at Dar Zette

Jacquie Ellon Cheltenham
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
As soon as we entered Dar Zette's enchanting courtyard I knew we were in for a treat.The websites photos although good didn't really convey its true charm.As a painter I saw plenty source material for paintings not only fom the various terraces but from the small roof terrace which overlooks a fascinating view of sky and roof top terraces.
We were well looked after by Foued who looked in on us occasionally to make sure everything was ok and Sadir provided us with splendid breakfasts which included moroccan crepes which I now really miss.I would also recommend Sadir's fish tagine - delish.
The house is ideally situated in the medina not far from the harbour or the seaside and a great place for artists ,photographers,cat lovers and holidaymakers young and old.
All in all our stay at Dar Zette was a most enjoyable and productive( started 8 paintings which I hope to finish at my studio)and left us all feeling like we could have done with another fortnight as we were just getting into the Moroccan flow of life.

Fantastic holiday home in wonderful Essaouria

Review Submitted: December 22, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
We had a great stay in Dar Zette. The Riad is lovely and extremely well appointed - everything you need for a home from home holiday. The beds were probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in! We were there during December and it was a bit chilly at times but the log fire made it wonderful and cosy but would love to return again and experience the house in summer too.
Penny and Ernie, the owners were more than helpful with making the booking and giving advice.............a must is to eat at Villa Maroc which is lovely but the best experience ever was at the restaurant Elizir.....just amazing - crazy but amazing and excellent food too. Had a wonderful birthday there. Essaouria is also a great place to visit in Morocco - really impressed and sure we will return sometime. Thanks also to Foued who was always there if you needed any help. Love to you all and see you again - enshallah! Jill, Jack, Terry and Perri

Right in the heart of the medina

V & N Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We spent 10 days here in March and enjoyed our stay. There were just the two of us and it was nice to have the space to ourselves.

The house is very well positioned for getting around town and near lots of nice restaurants as well as the souk.

The decor was nice and light, with some interesting pieces. We struggled to find a comfortable chair to read in - nothing quite worked for either of us.

The fireplace was a bit erratic and we often had to flee the sitting room because of the smoke.

Bedrooms and bathrooms not big but enough for our needs. Not sure of the loo roll etiquette - we seemed to go through a lot and ended up buying it ourselves as so little was put out for us!

Ground floor loo seems to have a bit of an odour problem, bit the others were fine. Plenty of hot water for showers but somehow not for the bath.

We had to ask to have laundry done rather than being able to do it ourselves, which was not so convenient.

It was very windy and quite cold much of the time so we went through a vast supply of firewood and had to have more delivered which Fouad did very willingly. he also came out one night when we had a power cut and sorted things out. Sadir, the maid, was lovely and cooked tagine for us a couple of times.

Due to lack of baggage allowance, we didn't have enough books with us so made use of the mini library and left our books behind to join it.

All in all we had a lovely stay and would go again one day.
