Dar Liouba

This is a great little house with 8 rooms situated right in the centre of Essaouira’s Medina or old market quarter.

It’s simply done and charmingly furnished without being over the top. The ground floor doesn’t have the standard courtyard but instead a large homely sitting room where great expanses of cushions and comfy sofas invite you to stop for a while and do very little apart from chat, drink a glass of tea and let go.

From the ground floor a spiral staircase leads up to the bedrooms with decor built around different colours with the traditional tile-work adding a few brighter shades. The house has a roof terrace running the length of the building and plenty more sofas to relax after a day’s wandering the warren of streets below, shopping for spices or simply relaxing in one of the traditional hammans. The house has 5 double rooms, 2 twins and one triple room. The kitchen is fully equipped but it is also possible to order breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Essaouira is tailor-made for relaxation and this little house provides a fantastic opportunity to continue the theme all night long.
