Photos and Description of this Essaouira holiday house 4 Bedrooms, sleeps 2-10, few minutes to beach and town

Dar Ettouahen is a beautiful, elegant, light and airy, newly refurbished riad on a quiet street within the walls of the historic medina of Essaouira. It is just two minutes walk from the bustling souks, outdoor cafes and candlelit restaurants, and seven minutes from the beach. Cosy enough for two, but well-equipped and spacious enough for a whole family or group of friends, Dar Ettouahen has traditional stone arches, tadelakt (marble-dust walled) bathrooms, tiled floors, high thuya wood ceilings and a open log fireplace. The ground floor is a wonderful spacious open-plan living space, and upstairs there is a cosy salon and four large bedrooms. On the roof are fantastic sea views - there is a large sheltered terrace with plenty of room for eating, drinking and relaxing and a second smaller upper terrace provides the perfect setting for watching the sun set over the waves crashing on the rocks below.

Nearest Airport: Marrakech at 180 Kilometres
Nearest Beach: beach at 400 Metres
Car: not necessary
Essaouira is a small historic fishing port on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, renowned for its laid-back and friendly atmosphere, souks stuffed full of local art and craftwork as well as local produce, its long sandy beach and its well-preserved old walled medina, named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The weather is temperate and warm year-round and it is an attractive spot for windsurfing. The old medina ramparts are a great place to watch the waves crashing onto the rocks as the sun goes down over the ‘Ile de Mogador’, a group of tiny islands which offer sanctuary to Eleanora’s falcons. Inside the medina, you'll find numerous cafes and patisseries, selling strong coffee, Moroccan mint tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. Evenings are happily wiled away in one of many restaurants, steeped in atmosphere and warmth, which serve traditional Moroccan fare: tagines, couscous and Moroccan and French wine.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Essaouira, Morocco

Guest book: 'A fantastic property in a beautiful place! We are all vegetarian and usually self cater as we get very bored with restaurant and hotel food, but this time we didn't cook once. The restaurants were all very good, but the house keeper, Kadysha's cooking was better still.' Stuart Davies, Banbury

“We had a great holiday in your gorgeous Riad. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts and the evening meal cooked for us by Khadisha - she's a real gem. We tried some of the local restaurants and we loved them also, especially Villa Maroc. Went to Marrakesh for an overnight and stayed in the place recommended by you - it worked out fine but we were delighted to get back to our lovely home in Rue Tuahen. The local people were very friendly and seemed to be looking out for us when we got lost (which we did regularly in the alleyways)!” Alice Walsh, Ireland

“Thanks so much for a great holiday in Essouira! We really enjoyed the house, spending endless sunny days on the terrace reading books. It was just the relaxing holiday we wanted. The house is really well equipped and we were looked after very nicely by Khadisha. Apart from an hour delay in the return taxi that Nouredine had booked the whole holiday was perfect. Thanks again, we will definitely recommend your place to others and may even return with friends (we felt a little greedy having the whole place to ourselves!).” Alison, England

Other Activities: camel-trekking, kite-surfing, kayaking, quad-biking, Hammams.

Great holiday

Jive London
Review Submitted: April 26, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This was just such a great house, with plenty of room and a lovely character. From the bottom to the top. Every inch of it. We couldn't have asked for anything better than that. Well, we could, but we surely didn't need to.

Our stay in Dar Ettouahen !

Lycra Kutzenhausen - FRANCE
Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a great time, Dar Ettouahen is in a quiet place and close to everything needed.
The Riad is very beautiful, we were 8 people and had lots of space . It was very comfortable, clean and well-maintained. We have been very well looked after by the people in charge.
My parents are over 70, so it is no problem for elder people without disability. Our daughters are 13 and 16, and they had a great time too,they loved the terrasse on the roof.
We spent lots of time in the souks and loved it !
We would recommend this property to our friends.
