In the heart of Essaouira’s UNESCO-listed medina and near the surfing beach of Sidi Kaouki, English hosts Claire and Johnathan welcome guests to their beautifully restored riad and private villa with pool, both high-class properties that blend Moroccan tradition with modern conforts.
Having used Airbnb and Booking.com over many years, they wanted to provide welcoming and memorable accommodation focusing on the visitor, offering comfort, ease of use and a full supportive concierge service
If you have any questions just ask!
Retired from working in Healthcare in the UK, Claire, Johnathan, and their son Will discovered Essaouira whilst exploring Morocco.
They fell in love with its unique laid-back vibe and immediately wanted to come back.
Their whole family were equally enthralled and all agreed this was a great location for a Johnathan and Claire to retire for a better and healthier life

Claire and Johnathan have put together a friendly team who share their ideals:
