Maison du Sud
"Beautiful 18th century house for an authentic Moroccan experience by the sea"
Maison du Sud
A charming "residence", in the heart of the Medina, in a authentic Riad of the 18th century.
The large communal areas of Maison du Sud are authentically Moroccan with low benched seating areas surrounding the outside of the rooms. The central patio at Maison du Sud, with intimate tables and chairs, receives lots of natural light from the large open roof above. The patio is furnished with an abundance of green plants, central water fountain and a collection of very interesting colourful upcycled art pieces.
The rooms are neat and well presented yet basic in their furnishings. The rooms at Maison du Sud have high ceilings, larger ones have a sofa area which can be used for extra beds. There is a good-sized terrace with tables and chairs to enjoy the sun and views of the town rooftops.
Maison du Sud offers 24 rooms. These have a bedroom with a small drawing-room and a bathroom, and are arranged on one and a half floors. Through the traditional method of building, these are positioned around a large patio.
The simple roof terraces have a view over the white rooftops of the houses and businesses of Essaouira with the Atlantic ocean in the distance.

Maison du Sud
"This riad is quite big – it’s actually two ‘houses’ joined together – and situated right in the heart of the medina, you step out of the front door and there are shops all around you. Staff were friendly and helpful. Decor was beautiful throughout the riad with pot plants and attractive lighting. Meals were good, small selection available for evening meals and very tasty. We took advantage of the hotel laundry service – in by 9am out by 6pm – and they did a lovely job, everything washed and ironed for a very reasonable price. We were very taken with Essaouira and would definitely recommend this riad if you’re travelling to this delightful seaside town."
A guest from New-Zealand, March 2013
