Reviews : We had a lovely time in Essaouira, your Riad is beautiful and it was just the break we needed! I know you hear it all the time but your maid is a fabulous cook! I hope to stay again in the near future. J Saunders Feb 2007. I really loved the house and Nourdeddine. I will stay there again it was better than I thought it was going to be and I really loved the house. Thank you for everything. C Bodendorfer Jan 2007 Kathy says: 'I could not recommend this property highly enough - the photos currently on the site don't do it justice. We spent nine days there with our two children, so there was plenty of spare space. It's been beautifully restored, all amenities work properly and the maid is fab. Try her couscous. Even the beds were really comfortable! Attention to detail was spot-on, even the hairdryers were good quality (not that you'll use them - you'll wind down within an hour of arrival and not bother with all that!). Just go. Nov 2006

Review Jan 2007: Our stay at Darsal exceeded my expectations in every way - as did everything about beautiful Morocco! The riad is gorgeous and really well decorated. Bathrooms are great - no problems with hot water like in most other places I stayed in Morocco. Aeida was lovely and cooked us a beautiful tagine and breakfast every morning. We had such a great stay, Would love to come back one day. Erin March 2008 Possibly the most beautiful riad in Essaouira. Jaw-dropping, in fact. Floor after floor of an Arabian Night dream, as one of my friends described it, decorated in warm traditional style but with all the comforts of modern life. And in a very central location too, we never had to walk more than a few minutes everywhere. The maid is lovely and such a good cook that I do recommend discerning holidaymakers to lunch/dine in as much as possible rather then go out to restaurants. Noureddine, the agent, speaks excellent English and offered really useful advise. Cosimo London

Reviews Oct 2006: We had a wonderful time in your generous and beautiful house, which feels more like a home than a holiday rental. We loved the abundance of pottery, the magical lighting, the perfect proportions, the roof terrace in the morning and the log fires in the evening. Noureddine, Faoud and Aouida took care that we got everything we wanted or needed. George March 08 'A beautiful Riad in the enchanting fishing port town of Essaouira. Having a property manager and maid available to assist guests staying at Darsal made it that much more enjoyable. The beach is wonderful with the softest sand. The Riad came equipped with children's books, games, sand toys and a soccer ball and all were thoroughly enjoyed by our children. The riad is centrally located amongst the local homes within the medina which gives it a very authentic feel. While the exterior is very plain and simple, the interior is beautifully renovated and decorated. The roof top terrace with a breezy, bright bedroom was my favourite!

Other Activities: land yatching, kite surfing, camel riding, historic sites, small traditional port, souks, hamman, 4x4 off roading and quad biking

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Thank you, we all had a fantastic time in Essaouira- everyone was very friendly, we were really quite sad to leave. We really fell in love with the place, and intend to return Oct '08. Aeida is a wonderful person, she helped make our stay very special indeed. Your house is lovely, we particulary loved the terrace, and truly enjoyed our stay there. Once again, thank you very much. K Willaims August 07.

The riad was lovely - loads of room to spread out and find some peace and who would of thought that behind the front door there would be such a haven of tranquillity right in the middle of the medina? Ayeda lived up to her reputation and cooked what were probably the best meals we had whilst in Morocco. Nourredine was very helpful in setting up the excursions and providing some local insights. We had a really good holiday and we shall certainly come back to Essaouira. Thanks once again for the use of your riad - we had a very memorable and
enjoyable holiday and we would like to retur

A little box of delights!

Review Submitted: January 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a fantastic holiday at Darsal and only wish we had been able to stay longer the riad is so well appointed and beautifuly furnished with true morrocan style and the perfect place for an introduction to the area. Everything, bar the camel riding which is only a short drive up the coast ,( ask about this and it will be arranged for you to go riding along the beach and through the sand dunes, a really wonderful experience!) was within walking distance and we felt so relaxed and at home there! There are so many restaurants in the vicinity it was easy to eat somewhere different each night and the catering provided by Ayieda was very good too. Her breakfasts are a treat especaillly when eaten on the teracce with its view across the roof tops!

We hope to go back again one day! I would highly recommend Darsal to everyone!

Wonderful relaxing holidays...

Review Submitted: January 22, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Staying every year two times in morocco, always in the beautiful
town Essaouira, we rented the first time a complet riad.
What can I say, it was amazing in the Darsal House. The best
we ever had. Nice and lovely decorated with taste.The roof-terrace is overlooking the roofs of Essaouira and the wild Safi-Beach.The support of the very friendly and helpfull Fouad is great and
even Nourredine the builder of the house was looking for us. Aieda
the maid was preparing a good breakfast and in the evening
very tasty and fresh tajines .Good food, from the markets, she was cooking in the kitchen of the house, just for us. And all for
a very good price.She is very kind and lives beside the Riad.While
it was quite cold, Aieda makes fire in the cheminey..I love her.
Very best morrocan hospitality.. I will recommend the DARSAL
to all my friends. We are a couple from Germany and we felt
so well in Sallys house. As time was to short, we booked
already two more weeks in June and Juli.Celebrating the Gnaoua-Festival.
Thanks you so much Sally! Best wishes Gabriele and Uwe

Beautiful riad

Review Submitted: January 2, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We loved the riad, which had been beautifully restored and was full of lovely features/details and had lots of character. It was in a really central, convenient position and all the local neighbours were very friendly. The maid can provide breakfast and evening meals - these are really good value and delicious . We went in December, and the weather was lovely - blue skies everyday, although a little cool at night, but no problem as there was heating. We preferred Essouria to Marrakech, as it is more relaxed and laid-back. Much less hassle for shopping etc. I have already recommended it to friends, and would definitely consider staying there again.

A real taste of Morroco
Thomo  Lincolnshire
Review Submitted: May 5, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
After 3 days in the high octaine environment of Marrakech, Essaouira and Riad Drasal was a welcome relief. We transfered from Marrakech on the Supertours coach a 3 hour trip for only 65 dirhams (excellent value). The accomodation was excellent, very comfortable an oasis in the heart of the Medina.
We enjoyed long walks along the beach, stopping for a coffee or a beer and watching the kite surfers going through their paces.
Faoud was always on hand and Ajeda popped in every day for any washing shopping etc.
Try the fish grill from the kiosks near the harbour, Taros (Place Moulay Hassan) for great meals and an even better cocktail bar on the top floor. And for cakes to die for try Chez Driss (Rue El Hajali).
Essaouira is a taste of real Morroco soak up the atmosphere of the Medina then go back to Riad Darsal to relax on the sun loungers with a long glass of wine.
Wonderful.
