Riad des Palmiers
"A peaceful and authentic riad, tucked away behind the walls of la medina."
Riad des Palmiers
Riad des Palmiers (so-called because there are 3 ancient palm trees in the garden) is a villa in the French colonial style, situated in the medina and overlooking the beach.
The house -which sleeps 12- can be rented in its entirety, or by the apartment (of which there are 3 laid out over 3 floors). Each apartment comprises 2 double bedrooms with either ensuite shower or bathroom and fully fitted kitchen; in addition, the 1st and ground floors have a salon, whereas the 2nd floor has a private sunbathing terrace.
There is a large roof terrace on the top floor available to all, and a garden with a 10 sq.metre plunge pool (which is very unusual for Essaouira and the only one in the Medina). The garden can be accessed by the ground and 1st floor apartments, but not the 2nd.
Daily maid service is provided, and meals can also be prepared by arrangement; however, breakfast is not normally included.
The Riad can be rented as a whole house or by apartment.

Riad des Palmiers
"Utterly beautiful, serene accommodation to a very high finish. I can't recommend this place enough. Utterly relaxing garden enclosed by the original medina wall combined with a roof terrace to take in stunning views across the magical town of Essaouira. The rooms are all ensuite, extremely comfortable and have very individual characteristics. Perfect Moroccan decadence at a fantastic price."
G. Pollard from Canterbury, February 2013
"This Riad is a gem. The owner, Diane, has restored the property to an excellent standard, keeping its essential character and adding touches of her own decor to make the place truly special. The place is more open and airy than most riads in the Medina, due to the very large light well and the beautiful garden behind the house. The garden is very private, and backs up to the city wall -- a really gorgeous setting for sunbathing or having dinner under the palms. The little pool in the corner is just perfect for cooling down if you are lounging in the sun and feeling a bit too toasty. This is a really delightful house!"
A guest from Illinois, Sept 2012
