We had a fantastic week at Valerie's villa in the countryside just outside Essaouira. It is a beautifully designed house with every thing you need for a very comfortable, stylish stay. The pool is wonderful, the loungers wide and the outdoor seating and eating area is a fantastic touch. Siad met us at the airport, helped us hire a car and looked after us beautifully. He couldn't have been kinder offering hints and tips for visits and even providing a hairdryer when we forgot ours. His English is excellent which was useful as our French is limited! The villa is kept sparkling by a lovely lady called Miriam who is very professional, smiley in the mornings and unobtrusive. She made us breakfast every day which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The garden and pool are also cared for daily and immaculate. The villa is a little way out of town and so is fantastically quiet, with great views and large starry skies. A welcome change from the Medina. We have stayed in this area many times but having found this special place we hope to be back soon. Don't hesitate to book!
