Gorgeous riad in the middle of the busy medina. Great location and although down a little side street, once you've got your bearings, it's easy to find. Amazing smell of jasmine as soon as you walk in and a peaceful escape from the busy city. Rooms were very clean. Ours wasn't overly big but had everything we needed and bed was extremely comfortable. Staff were lovely and went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed, and gave lots of helpful information. Couldn't recommend enough for a lovely few days stay in Essaouira.

it was a great location, beautiful and clean Riad. Tarik and the rest of the staff were always really friendly and accommodating. there was a lovely roof terrace, and it was only a minute walk to the middle of the Medina and only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

What a hidden gem! But the real treasure here is the people. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome—no request was too much, and every interaction was met with a warm smile. The breakfast was delicious, the rooms beautifully designed and impeccably clean. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or the perfect starting point to explore Essaouira and its surroundings, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

The location was really good, in the heart of Essaouira, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. It had real character and charm. The staff who we had contact with , Chichham and the young lady on reception who I sadly haven't got her name, could not have been more friendly and helpful. They really added to our stay there. The room we had was comfortable and very clean, which was a theam of the rest of the accommodation. I would be very happy to go back there , and would happily recommend Riad dar Sebta to anyone looking to stay at a Riad in Essaouira.

We enjoyed the location in the narrow streets of the medina; the cute courtyard of the riad and the very welcoming owners. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The breakfast pastries were still warm when served and absolutely delicious.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
