Les Terrasses d'Essaouira

 

A simple but attractive riad style option with a well presented interior and warm friendly welcome. The intimate interior is tastefully arranged and offers an unsophisticated but authentic setting for those wanting a well located base in one of the country’s most charming and well restored settings.



Calm interior overflows with character whilst the surrounding streets see many day trippers arriving from mid morning until late afternoon.

Exterior

A wide beige coloured, flat fronted building with an imposing wooden entrance and grill. The typically Moorish exterior shows no sign of the tastefully restored features that lie within. A couple of small windows look out on to the street.
