Photos and Description of the Essaouira vacation house rental

A 200 year old house in the ancient Medina situated on the ramparts with Stunning Ocean Views. Stylishly and lovingly restored with up to date amenities. It has been restored using local craftsmen and materials in traditional Moroccan style to European standards. Tadelect plasterwork, Zelige tiles, Moroccan doors and shutters and a combination of European and Moroccan lighting. With its inner courtyard the house is light and airy and is an ideal base for exploring this charming little town or to simply to relax on the roof top terrace. The House is a stroll from: the main square with its numerous cafes, the port and open air sea food restaurants, the beautiful beach with its horse and camel riding, quad biking, kite and wind surfing schools, that will provide tuition for all levels or just hire out equipment as required. The shops, restaurants and souks of the Medina and fresh food markets. Dar Olivia is rented out 'per week' as a whole house to ensure exclusive use by your party.

After the bedlam that can be Marrakech arriving in historic Essaouira is like an oasis of calm and tranquillity. Within minutes of arriving in the UNESCO World Heritage site it is obvious that there is something special and charming about the town. The blue and white buildings, the sun faded facades, the compact and traffic free Medina, the Souks, the beautiful sheltered beach on the south side of the old fishing port and the vast Atlantic ocean on the other. Add the 350 days or so of sunshine each year, Essaouira has its own micro climate, so it is never too hot in summer (approx 30c) and mild in the winter (16c) the town has charm and an instant and seductive appeal. Quad biking, horse and camel riding, kite and wind surfing, bike and car hire are all available in the town. Stunning woodlands and other seaside villages with secluded surf beaches and the vinyards of Ounagha are all a short car ride away. Marrakech and Agadir are approximately two and a quarter hours drive.
