Lovely stay

Our family had the most beautiful stay in this lovely house in the Medina in Essaoiura. The house is beautiful and the bed was the most comfortable throughout our stay in Morocco. The best with our stay was Kamar, throughout our stay she looked out for us family in the most kind manner and every morning she prepared the most amazing breakfast and always with the consideration of our needs. When we arrived we had a lovely dinner prepared for us. We loved all about our stay and give our deepest thanks to Kamar for making our visit so special.

Fabulous house - perfect for a family.

We spent Christmas at Dar Ronde and it was absolutely perfect for us - a family of 2 adults and 2 children (age 10 and 12). The house is large (especially the bedrooms), well-appointed, in a great location and had everything that we needed. Meriam (the housekeeper) and Kamar (the agent) were super-friendly, helpful and really made our holiday special (although it helps a lot to speak French). The breakfasts and dinners that Meriam prepared were delicious and it was such a treat to come down to breakfast that someone else had prepared every morning. The medina is easy to find your way around and the house is on the "quiet" side - but within easy reach of everything, including the beach. All in all, a wonderful place to stay - I would highly recommend it!

Ticks all the boxes

Lovely house, space, light, clean, and a great location in the heart of the Medina. Kamar and her team made us more than welcome, and the breakfasts each day were a great way to kick off. Highly recommended,

Perfect property for a memorable family holiday.

Absolutely loved our one week stay in Dar Ronde. Comfortable and clean it's perfectly located for exploring Essaouira. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Our house keeper was absolutely brilliant; we could not have hoped for a nicer host to prepare breakfast and help us get the most from our holiday including a memorable visit to a hammam for my wife and daughter. Highly recommended for families who want some Easter sun (it wasn't too windy during our stay), to explore different cultures and like a bit of adventure during their vacations. The horse riding at Ranch de Diabat was particularly cool.
