Villa Garance

Very friendly welcome. Always felt safe. Wonderful breakfast, the fresh orange juice was delicious. My only reason for a slightly lower score was the accessibility in our room. It was a stunning room but the tiled stairs coming out of the bathroom were a big hazard. My husband (fit, active 30 year old) slipped and has fractured his elbow. Might be worth more than one bath mat being provided in this room to avoid this happening to anyone else.

The riad is a very good choise, well situated in middle of the medina. It offers breakfast on the roof-top, which is nice as long the weather is fine.

A beautiful Riad, wonderful people and a delicious breakfast Clean friendly town and Medina. Highly recommend!

We only spent one night in the superior suite room 7, but it was one of the best places and rooms we have ever stayed whilst travelling abroad. The staff are all extremely friendly, welcoming and warm, the room was very clean and smelt amazing, the bed and bedding is the most comfortable I've ever slept in, the soaps and lotions are devine, the location is excellent right in the centre of the Medina, the breakfast was delicious and the jams homemade. Everything was just fabulous.

Charming riad in the medina. Stayed 3 nights in the deluxe room #10 on the rooftop - comfortable room with a separate small living area and an outdoor sitting area, great for relaxing in the afternoon sunshine. Breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Good location down a quiet alleyway.

Great location, lovely staff highly recommend

Excellent séjour Très reposant Services de qualité : petit déjeuner - situation - massages - chambres …

La Villa Garance est très bien située dans la médina, où ne circulent aucune voitures ni mobylette .Vous trouvez de nombreux resto pour y déguster du poisson frais provenant de la pêche du jour . Le personnel nous a bien indiqué tout ce qu'il fallait voir au niveau d'Essaouira . Le petit dej servi sur le roof top est très satisfaisant . Les chambres sont spacieuses et le lit est très confortable .

Très joli riad où nous avons eu un bon accueil Chambre spacieuse bien décorée avec bonne literie

Two days before my check-in date, I called Villa Garance for recommendations of dinner places. I was told "oh there's a little problem with your booking, only a little problem, not big problem. We accepted a tour group and we have no room for you. We book you in another hotel which is better than us. Come to the reception and we will bring you there". So I asked which hotel they moved me into, they told me was Liouba. Then I searched online and found out Liouba was all sold out that night. I called back Villa Garance if they confirm that i have a room, because i couldn't find any room in the last minute by myself. Villa Garance called Liouba in another line and booked the room. Then I called Liouba to confirm it, it took like an hour back and forth, finally Liouba confirmed that I have a room. The fact that Villa Garance has no business commitment to individual bookings, didn't reached out to me and told me about this information until I called them is unacceptable. They expected me to show up at their reception to receive the news and waste our valuable vacation time travelling between hotels. I was happy with Liouba hotel for their service but still I filed a complaint with Expedia about Villa Garance. And Expedia told me they contacted Villa Garance and was told this is totally business as usual and they have done this to many other clients. Just want to write my experience here so whoever book this hotel can be prepared for such incident as "business as usual".

Highly recommend this place. In the middle of the old city with rich history.

Le Riad est très bien situé dans la médina d'Essaouira. lors de notre arrivée nous avons été parfaitement accueillis. les informations et indications nécessaire à notre séjour nous ont été données. La décoration du riad est belle, les chambres sont spacieuses et propres, le linge est de qualité. Le pdj, qui est pris sur le roof top du riad , dont la vue est magistrale, est copieux et de bonne qualité. Nous retiendrons surtout la gentillesse de toute l'équipe du riad tenue par la gérante Radia qui a fait de notre séjour une merveille.

We loved our stay here, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was lovely, and the breakfasts on the roof were amazing! We will come back!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. Breakfast was delicious with incredible rooftop overview of the area. Thank you for providing a home-like stay for your guests.

Très beau riad, calme et bien situé. Service aimable et attentionné. Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux !

+ves. Nice location inside medina. Well maintained Riad. Responsive and helpful owners. Good staff. -ves. A bit pricy. No elevator so taking luggage to 2nd floor thru spiral stairs cud be an issue. Very basic breakfast.

My sister and I stayed at the Villa Garance from the 10th to the 14th March. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful and served up on the roof terrace. It is situated down an alley in the Medina and is very central for walking to the port or the beach. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

Nettes Personal, schönes Zimmer. Hammer Aussicht von der Dachterrasse. Mitten in der Altstadt von Essaouira.

Hotel de caractère, très bien tenu, à la décoration moderne et raffinée. Petit déjeuner de grande qualité servi sur une terrasse offrant une belle vue sur la médina.

Very nicely restored riad in the middle of the medina. Wonderful roof terrace. The hosts Pierre and Marie are very friendly and helpful, along with the rest of the staff. We stayed there for five nights, and would live to come back some time.
