Riad Babette is located within the walls of the old city of Essaouira. The owner and his family have beautifully decorated the riad with tasteful touches and beautiful photography throughout. Even though we arrived late in the evening, the owner was willing to prepare a delicious dinner for us. We were warmly welcomed. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. The air conditioning was welcome as it was a bit humid. Wifi worked well in all spaces. Breakfast was delicious. The owner, Mohammed, was very attentive and catered to our every need. For example, we were interested in purchasing some of the traditional inlaid wood trays that Essaouira is famous for. He took us to a shop with pieces of very high quality where we were able to purchase exactly what we wanted in a low pressure environment.

I'm in love with this house! I've been to different riads in different cities, but this one is the best! Design: the house resembles a sea shell, the inside is decorated with local tadelakt. Every corner of the house is a Pinterest-ready photo. Facilities: there is always hot water, fresh towels and sheets, a bottle of water. Don’t worry that there is no air conditioning in the house, it is not needed here even in summer, fresh air from the ocean keeps you cool. + not noisy like in other riads, and the sounds of the street are not disturbing at all (you can only hear them when you open the window) Breakfast: The best omelette in the country and a combination of fresh fruit, bread and coffee will keep you hungry all day location: very convenient location on the side of the medina (for those just exploring Morocco, this is the old town), but effect that you are not in a tourist place, but in a real medieval city! the streets are quiet and safe, there is a bakery and lies nearby Staff: Amina - goddess, queen, my love! best breakfasts, always smiling, always helping to solve a problem (she even helped me find a doctor) I felt at home with her! she is the best woman in the world, I would like her to adopt me hahaha (just kidding) I want to thank everyone who helps make my vacation better! Françoise carefully sent information in advance with pictures and photos so that I wouldn’t get lost in the city and find the best food, views and bars! Always in touch and ready to help! This is the first time in Morocco when I received so much love, it helped me a lot 💕

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
