An incredible place to stay, so nice that we simply spent one day relaxing in the riad. Allison was a wonderful host and has decorated the riad beautifully. She also gave us fantastic tips on what to do and really made us feel at home. We will definitely stay here again!

I wish I could replicate Chez Dar Ma back home ... the beautifully spacious rooms, gorgeous Moroccan decor and inviting French doors. We felt very much at home especially as we had Hassan and Halima to look after us and Juju, the cat, for company. The riad is close to everything you need but it really is difficult to tear... More

I have stayed at a couple of places in Essaouira and this is THE BEST I have experienced. We stayed for 3 nights and while it is not in the center of the medina (which we knew) we really enjoyed the short stroll back through laid back Essaouira to the Riad every night. The rooms are large and bathrooms are... More

This was my favorite city and B&B during our Morocco trip in April. At the last minute I had a hunch we were going to love it so I changed our visit from one night to two and I'm so happy that I did. I would recommend staying even longer, as I enjoyed the slower pace after enjoying the larger... More

We spent quite a while planning a family Christmas properly away from home. Big, complicated family - eight of us in all. And I'm delighted we chose Chez Dar Ma. Nearly all of us run our own various businesses, so time away and relaxation is seriously precious. And we really got it here! From the start, Allison looked after us.... More

We spent Christmas at Chez Dar Ma after deciding to escape for a bit of winter sun. It seemed perfect for our party of 8, and we were absolutely delighted. Allison was a mine of information about the town - a walking guidebook in fact. She gave us tips on everything from restaurants to where to find the best quad... More

Just inside the little Bab Marrakech this was a fantastic place to stay We had, unfortunately, only allowed for one night in Essaouria, but the location meant that everything was on our cute little doorstep. Thanks to Alli and Hassan. Hope to see you again.

It was odd finding a plane ticket from Morocco back to Amsterdam in my bag since during my stay at Riad Dar Ma I had come to believe that this was in fact my new home. I had a front door key and came and went as I pleased, the bed was just as comfy as a bed should be... More
