Vacation Rental Description
A unique and pretty villa, recently renovated to very high standard, Riad des Palmiers (so-called because there are 3 ancient palm trees in the garden) is a newly renovated house dating from French Colonial times and architecturally typical of the period. All original features - such as tiling and wrought ironwork - have been preserved or faithfully copied to a very high specification, such that the house is now restored to its former self. The house is situated within the medina walls (in fact the end of the garden is the medina wall), and it overlooks the beach. It is laid out as 3 separate apartments over 3 floors, each comprising 2 double bedrooms, with either ensuite shower or bathroom and kitchen. In addition, the 1st and ground floors have a salon, whereas the 2nd floor has a private sunbathing terrace. The garden can be accessed by the ground and 1st floors, but not the 2nd.
There is a large roof terrace on the top floor, and a sheltered garden with a 10 sq.metre plunge pool (which is very unusual for Essaouira and the only one in the Medina). Daily maid service is provided, and meals can also be prepared by arrangement; however, breakfast is not normally included.
This luminous house is situated in a quiet residential area within a couple of minutes' walk of the best restaurants in Essaouira. The souks -open air meat, fish and vegetable markets - are equally proximate, and the Supratours coach station is just outside the nearest Medina gate (Bab Marrakech). The beach is less than 200 yards away.
