    Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The room was spacious, comfortable, bright and inviting. The terrace had nice views and ambience to enjoy breakfast with other guests.

    It felt like staying at a friend’s house, rather than a hotel. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was excellent, beautiful rooftop! It was so cool, to stay at a 200 year old house and even the 67 steps into the top floor room were fun to walk!...

    Excellent location in the Medina, appartements and rooms have a cozy feeling and wonderful furnishing. Having a full floor of the riad feels home and exotic at the same time. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing and a lolvely breakfast...

Property information

Riad de la Mer is a spacious 18th century Jewish merchant’s house situated in the oldest part of the Medina, known as the Kasbah. Recently restored with the addition of modern facilities, it nevertheless retains the rich character of the original house. This is one of the best located riads in Essaouira, with stunning panoramic views from the terrace of the sea, port and the massive sweep of the entire bay. Just a few paces from the heart of the town, Place Moulay Hassan with all its bustling cafes and restaurants, this is nevertheless a house which affords a great sense of tranquillity and considerable space. During the day the rooms are sunny, light and airy due to a central light well. The first two floors are traditionally decorated with many period items – chandeliers, antique beds and textiles – with the high ceilings also representing an unusual feature. On the third and fourth floors, a more modern character prevails: the colour white becomes predominant, as does simplicity of décor, and one becomes aware of sky, seagulls, waves. The views from the terrace, which is not overlooked, are quite simply magnificent.
