“Would love to stay here again and would give more than 10 stars for this place if I could!”

Everything about Dar Mayssoun was wonderful! The villa was beautiful inside and out, extremely comfortable and spacious. We were a family of 4 and everyone had their own room with ensuite. The pool area was lovely too! It’s in a very quiet neighbourhood, lovely coffee shop a 10 minute walk away and Essaouira was a quick and easy 10 minute drive. One of the best places I’ve stayed in during our 3 month trip through Europe. If you’re considering staying here, just do it, you will love it!

“Fantastic value for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa”

Lovely single-storey layout with 2 bedrooms separate from the main house below a terrace - perfect for sunsets. The other 2 bedrooms are connected to the main villa and overlook a gorgeous courtyard with dining table and fountain (wonderful at night with all the lights on!). The main house has the primary dining room, lounge and kitchen. The lounge leads out to a lovely outside covered dining table overlooking the wonderful pool area, which Abdou kept immaculate each evening. The villa is 15 minutes drive from both the local airport and Essaouira, and in 7 days, we only saw/heard 1 plane. Wifi was good (25Mb) with lots of different routers around the villa to use. Samira was an angel and her cooking was divine - especially a special birthday dinner she prepared - and her breakfasts kept us full until dinner! Yes, there's a regular call to prayer and cockerels that can wake you up - but neither bothered most of us after the first night. None of us would hesitate in staying again!

It was a real home with gorgeous grounds, a beautiful pool area, a log fire and everything we could possibly want. A perfect little oasis with so much soul and charm. We have stayed in many villas in Essaouira and this is our favourite. It is incredible value for money and all the staff we met were so kind and attentive.

“A wonderful family holiday in a beautiful property”

Dar mayssoun was a wonderful villa and the pictures don’t do it justice. From the pool area, to the roof top terrace, the boules area to the pretty shaded courtyard, there was nothing we didn’t fall in love with. Even the pet turtles our children loved to try and find everyday. Most of all were the staff - Said, Abdou, Samira and Raqiya. So helpful and so welcoming, with the ladies cooking us the most fabulous breakfasts and dinners, Said organising cabs, and Abdou meeting us late at night to make sure we found the villa and making sure the gardens were tidy. Plus owner Romain, who was a great host - arranging so much. He and his family have made Dar mayssoun a comfortable and well designed property and their little touches and great taste made all the difference. Essaouira itself was only a short car journey to the fabulous restaurants and medina, while that sleepy surf town and beach of Sidi Kauoki is also only 15 minutes drive away. All in all we had a fabulous family holiday and I hope we can return one day.

“Amazing”

Great quiet location just outside of essouaira. The amenities are amazing, from champagne glasses to citrus press. A perfect barbecue and great pool with sun until 6 in February. After that there is a sundeck to watch the sunset.

“Tranquil oasis”

The house is absolutely gorgeous as are the grounds and pool area. It is kept immaculate by the staff and they are so friendly and will help with anything they can! We enquired where we can buy charcoal for the BBQ and then it was brought to us by the caretaker within ten minutes! So kind! His wife also made us delicious breakfasts daily, all from scratch with fresh ingredients. The pool is fabulous and we all had great fun using it. Also there are plenty of pool towels available to use. It was such a treat to stay in this beautiful house and experience the tranquility of the area. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful home from home!

“I came to Dar Mayssoun with my big family (sisters/spouses/children/mother). And we do not regret our choice”

Very well equipped, nice decoration, comfortable bedrooms.

“Wonderful”

The breakfasts prepared by Latifa each day were delicious, fresh orange juice, Moroccan pancakes, eggs, patisseries. She also cooked us a wonderful meal for meat eaters and vegetarians on our first night - and all round Latifa was so sweet and helpful. Said was also charming and came over in five minutes to replace gas when we ran out. Kitchen was really well equipped and the whole house is so beautiful- full of charm and character, and everywhere you look you have a beautiful view. Great location as well near Diabat for beautiful beach walk, and easy access to Essaouira. Really recommend it.
