Vacation Rental Description
|
|
Riad de la Mer is one of the best located riads in Essaouira, with stunning panoramic views from the terrace of the sea and port and beyond, 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. Formerly an 18th century Jewish merchant’s house and now recently restored with the addition of modern facilities, the riad nevertheless retains its rich original character, such as its (rare) cellar used for hiding treasures!

There is something in Essaouira for everyone. For those seeking a relaxing time, there are hammams and a spa to visit, innumerable cafes overlooking the beach, and a large soukh to potter about. For the more active, there is quadbiking, camel riding, horse riding, windsurfing or kitesurfing. Culturally, the town itself is a huge, living museum. Architecturally, it is stunning, and you can see innumerable workshops with craftsmen making mosaics, marquetry, rugs, silks, wrought ironwork and so on. Food at the local market costs very little, and the restaurant prices are unbelievably cheap, certainly by British standards. The town is pretty cosmopolitan with many European visitors, particularly French

The ground floor has a communal kitchen, large dining room and courtyard. One bathroom and two bedrooms on the second floor, another kitchen, a large salon and another bedroom on the 2nd floor, and a single bedroom and studio suite on the third floor. 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 floor, 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 open to all guests, are quite simply magnificent.
There is a daily housekeeper and concierge service. Breakfast (fresh juice, bread, croissants & crêpes, local jams) is included.
