“Beautiful relaxing place”
This place is beautiful, we had a lovely time here. Very quiet, beautifully decorated. Delicious breakfast. We also managed to swim a bit in the swimming pool (cold water but it was hot outside). Jean Charles is a super host, very kind and helpful but also discreet. We had a lovely time chatting with him at breakfast. Breakfast was delicious. If you want a beautiful and calm place to stay 15 minutes drive from Essaouira, this is the perfect place.

“Magical stay in the most beautiful property with fantastic hosts !”
we arrived at Villa Salvatore very late due to a delayed transfer. Jean Charles was very welcoming at 1am (sorry) and we were shown our beautiful accomodation. The whole place is magical and very clean. The breakfast was incredible and Jean Charles and his mum were so welcoming.

“We stayed with Jean-Charles over Christmas, and it was honestly one of the best holidays we’ve had”
We (my wife and two young children) stayed with Jean-Charles over Christmas. He was an incredible host who made our stay really relaxing and easy, and he was just a great host all in all. It felt a bit like staying with a fun, free spirited uncle. He surprised us with a small Christmas tree in our room, and on Christmas morning, he decorated a tree in the garden with baubles and placed presents underneath for our kids to open. The kids were super happy, and it really made the our day. Jean-Charles and his mother have created such a lovely place and went out of their way to help us, whether it was booking restaurants or arranging activities. All in all, they made us feel completely at home, and we left feeling so well looked after.

“An oasis with lots of charm and great host.”
The host Jean Charles and his mother are absolutely lovely. They have a villa with two units outside around the pool and garden. We stayed in a comfortable 2-bedroom, one bathroom unit. The garden, various cute courtyards and breakfast room oozes charm. The breakfasts were delicious and the pool was clean and wonderful!

“An oasis in a bustling environment”
We just love everything about Villa Salvatore. The design of the premises is as colourful as the host/owner himself: you immediately notice that so much creativity one has and at the same time it is very harmonic executed! The place is literally like an oasis in a bustling environment. It is also very well located- everything is effortless to reach by car or taxi. And the host is a personality. Our warmest greetings to Jean Charles from Lettonie!

“A great choice in Ghazoua”
We were delighted to have found this gem of a place outside Essaouira with its lovely accommodation and a much needed swimming pool. The villa is situated in a peaceful area with options to eat around and it’s easy to catch a taxi heading to Essaouira. For us the best part were the star hosts Jean Charles and his mother Giovanni. Friendly and good people. And not forgetting their happy dogs, Kika and Nino. We hope to return.
