Guest Reviews
- Imbert (10/5): - Emplacement face a l’océan très agréable.
Accueil chaleureux. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
- Tatjana (10/5): - stunningly authentic place in the center of the Medina, on the banks of the Okana, with a huge rooftop terrace where you can watch the sun rise and set while observing the ebb and flow of the tide. Our towels were changed and our rooms were cleaned every day. Host Zuhran's hospitality and delicious food left a lasting impression on us. The breakfasts were incredibly delicious, and the dinners were like dining in an expensive restaurant. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We will be back in a year! It was an unforgettable experience!
- Bernd (10/5): Wonderful Moroccan House with beautiful views to the ocean. deep inside the medina, short ways to everything and still h - In the middle of the medina and still very quiet. A wonderful traditional Moroccan house that is kept in very good condition by zarah and the staff. Zarah prepared a wonderful breakfast for us every morning, and one evening she also cooked the most amazing meal for us. We even invited a friend over. You really feel like living in a palace. From the rooftop, you have wonderful views to the ocean, and above the medina. In total, there were 5 sleeping rooms:
• Two of them facing towards the ocean
• Three of them more quiet facing to the inside
The beds were very comfortable. Everything was super super clean, and zarah and the staff were more than friendly. We cannot recommend the place enough. Thank you so much for everything, Sarah, and take care! All the best!
And when you come with a car, you can just park a little bit outside the Medina and there will be someone standing and waiting to help you with the luggage for 30 to 40 Dirham one way to bring it to the house, which is inside the Medina and has very narrow streets leading to it. Just park the car outside the Medina and you will be absolutely fine. Parking for the night is 20 Dirham with the guard of the parking lot. All was perfect. Thanks Zarah and Team .
- Jane (10/5): Feeling like home in Essaouira. - Excellent service. Excellent food! Staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Zahra treated us like family. Warm and inviting.
- Jonathan (10/5): The host is very sweet and kind. She is very accommodating and makes a wonderful breakfast. The location is perfect. - The location is perfect. In the Medina and also on the edge of endless beautiful beach where you can run and explore the nature and solitude. The town is very laid back and kind.
- Angelina (9/5): Superbe Riad tout confort . - Un très bon accueil de la part de Zohra et de son assistante.
Toutes les deux étaient à l’écoute et aux petits soins pour nous satisfaire un maximum.
Nous étions une famille de 7 personnes et le Riad était assez bien spacieux..il ne manquait rien.
Aux deux étages , superbes vue sur la mer. Et surtout depuis la terrasse !
Petit déjeuner sur place copieux et délicieux.
- Gudrun (8/5): Unterkunft mit Charme und Aussicht - Zahra ist eine sehr herzlich auftretende Gastgeberin, die für die gute Ordnung und Sauberkeit im Riad verantwortlich ist und die Gäste mit leckerem Frühstück versorgt. Wir vier Frauen haben mit viel Freude bei ihr einen Kochkurs für marokkanische Spezialiäten gemacht.
Die Lage direkt am Wasser ist wunderschön, vor allem die Aussicht aus dem Wohnzimmer und von der Dachterrasse!
Das Haus hat einen urigen Charme. Man sollte wissen, dass nur zwei der Schlafzimmer Meerblick haben, eines im Erdgeschoss hat zwei Fenster in den Innenraum des Hauses, zwei haben lediglich die Türen nach innen. Alle Zimmer sind aber schön eingerichtet.
Die unmittelbare Lage am Atlantik ist schön, verursacht aber eine gewisse Feuchtigkeit im Haus - vor allem am ersten Abend fühlte sich die Bettwäsche klamm an. Vielleicht lag das an der Jahreszeit?
- Michele (10/5): -
- Kim (8/5): - Zahra was very kind and helpful. The view of the ocean from the property is unforgettable. Nothing
- MACIEJ (10/5): Udany pobyt w sercu mediny. - Wspaniały riad z pięknym widokiem na ocean. Świetne marokańskie śniadania. Nic
- Marta (10/5): - Wszystko. Absolutnie wyjątkowe miejsce nad samym oceanem. Nul
- Mohamed (9/5): - Beautiful views of ocean from two bedrooms on 1st and 2nd floor.
Very central location in medina
Large Riad of 5 bedrooms - spacious. Serviced daily. 2 bedrooms on ground floor (no windows to exterior), 2 bedrooms on 1st floor -master bedroom sea facing. 1 bedroom on top floor with sea view.
Breakfast was made for us and was good. No microwave, Sliding Door in main bedroom was faulty and very difficult to close properly to prevent cold wind coming in.
TV didnt work.
- Ute (10/5): Absolut zu empfehlen - Ich war schon oft in Essaouira, in verschiedenen schönen Unterkünften, aber Riad Dar Alma toppt alles. Die Lage ist zentral, aber trotzdem sehr ruhig, die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet und man hat einen wunderschönen Blick aufs Meer. Wir waren sechs Personen, aber es hätten auch zehn Personen Platz gehabt und wir haben unseren Aufenthalt einen Tag verlängert, weil es hier so schön war. Zahra, die das Riad betreut, hat uns jeden morgen ein tolles Frühstück gemacht und uns bei allen Fragen geholfen. Gerne würde ich hier wieder einmal Urlaub machen.
- Frank (10/5): -
- Nicolas (9/5): Très bon séjour très agréable avec Zahra qui sait très bien occupé de nous - Ce que j’ai préféré, c’est l’accueil de Zahra qu’exceptionnel qui a été aux petits soins toute la semaine. C’est une personne extraordinaire à recommander dans tous les établissements. Merci encore. Il serait bien de faire une petite réflexion des salles de bain d’en bas, et surtout la luminosité dans les salles de bain, car difficile de se raser pour les hommes car peu de visibilité
- David (10/5): - Superbe Riad, bien rénové et parfaitement entretenu. L'emplacement est idéal , au coeur de la médina et littéralement face a la mer. Acceuil chaleureux de Zarah, excellente maitresse de maison qui fera son possible pour vous rendre le sejour agréable. Possibilité de restauration sur place a la demande, n'hésitez pas car Zarah et sa soeur sont des cuisinières hors pair.
- Isabel (8/5): -
- Granjon (8/5): - Un grand merci au personnel Zahra merci pour tout (nadia)
- veronyka (9/5): Un jolie maison si court séjour - Bien placée pour ceux veulent être à la fois dans la médina et proche de l'océan. La vue est magnifique lorsque vous êtes dans les niveaux supérieurs.
Zahra qui assure la conciergerie nous a préparé de bons petit-déjeuners et a tout nettoyé chaque jour.
Le prix est très correct. La maison est sur plusieurs niveaux, il faut être en forme pour monter les étages !
La répartition des WC et salle de bain, il faut bien s'organiser :
- au RDC : 2 chambres sans fenêtres, 2 sdb, 1 WC
- au 1er étage : 2 chambres dont 1 sans fenêtre, 1 sdb, 1 WC
- au 2ème étage : 1 chambre, 1 sdb, 1 WC.
Soit vous avez une vue magnifique soit vous n'avez même pas de fenêtre. En fin de compte il n'y a que 2 chambres, dans les étages, avec une vue.
C'est très humide, tout a l'air mouillé au toucher.
- Patrick (9/5): - Die Unterkunft war sehr schön. Wir waren 8 Personen und hatten sehr viel Platz. Die Aussicht auf das Meer vom Wohnzimmer und Terrasse ist super! Und Zahra macht ein sehr feines Frühstück, hilft wo sie kann (Wäsche) und organisiert auch Taxis und Fahrer. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
- Eric (9/5): Quatre jours de rêve - 4 jours à Dar Alma pour nos 40 ans de mariage avec enfants et petits enfants, le riad est idéalement situé et agréable à vivre. Le présence de Zahra, son sens de l'accueil, son professionnalisme, ses talents culinaires, toujours au petits soins avec humour et gentillesse, ont fait de ce séjour un vrai cadeau Dommage de ne pas pouvoir profiter plus de la terrasse. Un coupe vent sur la balustrade sera utile
- Helene (9/5): Great welcome from Zahra as well as great dinners that we had ordered every night. - Zahra, the host was wonderful, as well as the other lady in charge of helping.
- Suzanne (10/5): Génial je recommande - Emplacement idéal
La vue est magnifique
Le Riad est super chambre au top
L’hôte Zarah est vraiment génial elle a été au petit soins avec tout notre groupe Un peu d’humidité
- chiara (10/5): Semplicemente perfetto, Zahara è stata molto gentile, disponibile e i suoi consigli molto apprezzati -
- Dora (10/5): - Bellissima casa, proprio affacciata sull’oceano, ottima posizione per visitare sia la medina che il porto. Colazione ottima.
- Simona (10/5): Magia affacciata sull’oceano - Un posto magico, nel mezzo della Medina, ma con una vista che non ti aspetti.
Una casa che rende Essaouira ancora più speciale. Un luogo perfettamente arredato e sistemato che fa sognare e che fa venire voglia di rimanere a guardare l’oceano un po’ più a lungo.
Zahra, la proprietaria e’ una donna stupenda, gentile, disponibile e piena di amore.
Ci ha cucinato la colazione ogni mattina, sparecchiando e sistemando tutto per noi e, su richiesta, ci ha preparato una cena al terzo piano con piatti meravigliosi e ottimo vino.
Vorrei stare a scrivere tutto il giorno, ma concludo dicendo che vale assolutamente soggiornare in questo posto incredibile, perché l’esperienza ad Essaouira non sarebbe la stessa senza il Riad Alma
- miguel alvarez bueno (10/5): Muy buena, sobre todo por Zahra, muy amable, hablando varios idiomas y un gran sentido de la hospitalidad. - Nos encantó el Riad, por limpieza y ubicación. Sobre todo nos gusto Zahra, que nos ofreció un excelente servicio , tanto de limpieza como en los desayunos. Por encargo nos hizo un maravilloso Cous-Cous.
- Léo de Boisgisson (9/5): Grand Riyad parfait pour prendre ses aises avec famille ou amis et accueil parfait de Zahra! - Super riyad , très vaste avec de l'espace pour chacun, accueil parfait et attentionné de Zahra qui s'est plié en quatre pour nous tous les jours! Un peu d'humidité mais c'est souvent le cas dans les maisons anciennes de la médina.
- Miho (10/5): Fantastic - 内装はセンスが良く、とても清潔。メディナの中にあるので、買い物やレストランもすぐ近くにたくさんあり、立地も抜群です。
なかでも一番感動したのは、部屋やリビング、そしてルーフトップから見える海の景色。特に夕焼けは本当に息をのむ美しさでした。
そして何より、この滞在を特別なものにしてくれたのがZahraさんの温かなおもてなしと料理の腕前。朝食もディナーもとても美味しく、なんとクッキングクラスまで体験できるそうなので、次回はぜひ参加してみたいと思っています。

- Giulio (10/5): Exceptional - We spent two wonderful nights at Riad Dar Alma with our daughters and friends. The house is absolutely beautiful – tastefully decorated with great attention to detail, and with a breathtaking view of the sea that we never got tired of.
Zahra, who welcomed us, was incredibly kind and warm. She prepared a delicious breakfast every morning, and one evening she cooked us a fantastic dinner upon request – everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care! Very good!
