Like every good riad Villa Garance is hidden down a dusty alley off the main street behind a huge wooden door. Once inside it's all peace and quiet from the ground floor living rooms to 3rd floor roof terrace . You can just see the raging sea over tops of roofs and sat dishes. The terrace is great as lower...

This is a very charming little place where we (2 adults and a 2½ years old child) stayed for 5 nights in the end of February 2012. We had room 10, which was nice and spacious. Good beds, very clean. Cold mornings with breakfast on the roof top terrace, which by the way is very nice. Good location in the... More

In the middle of the medina, but in a quiet side street. Overall, I would consider this a 3-star riad. Rooms are good, but no more. Definitely not the 5 stars that other reviewers have given. Pluses: Nice rooftop terrace; friendly owners and staff; good breakfast. Minus: Rooftop room reserved and confirmed by the riad itself was not usable due... More

Dear M. Ohkami, it was a pleasure to welcome you and your family in our riad. We are however surprised that you report as a minus the fact that we accomodated you in room n°1 on the first floor. As explained at your arrival, this was due to the fact that you had not confirmed acceptance of our proposal for... More

I was not dissapointed with Villa Garance. The riad is beautifully decorated and has great views from the rooftop where breakfast is served. the rooms are super clean and neat. The riad is tucked away off the main street so at night you can sleep without hearing all the madness of the streets below. The staff are extreamely friendly and... More

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and a nice size with good decor. The breakfast was typical for the area on the terrace. It has a great view, but you do have to climb stairs and it can be cool and windy in the morning. The wireless only works on the lower floors,... More

Villa Garance is in a good location in Essaouira with a nice roof terrace on which you can take breakfast. The rooms are a little rough around the edges and in need of some care and attention. There is a lingering smell in some parts of the Road which smell a little of blocked drains. I would recommend you double... More

We just returned from 2 weeks in Morocco. Villa Garance was the best riad we stayed in during our entire trip! Entire staff was helpful, and owners helped with any questions we had during our 3 night stay. Breakfast on the roof every morning was great and scenic. Had dinner our last night. It was a delicious way to end... More

A very beautiful Riad, particularly loved the architecture of the lobby and roof terrace. A very warm a welcoming hostess. Lovely breakfasts. Only minor issue was that there is a primary school just across the alley, so chilling out in the room during daytime is not too peaceful. More

We booked in to Villa Garance ( www.essaouria-garance.com) This is such a beautifully decorated villa which gives off a calming ambiance, we had the four poster room with was just simply stunning! The only things which let it down a little are small things like the sun loungers are old and not that comfortable, as they tend to stoop when... More
