Welcome to our labour of love! We wanted to create a romantic place full of quirky details, a comfortable place where people can come and explore the magical city of Essaouira – a town that is firmly in our hearts. During the renovation we had fun, stress, a lot of arguments, sleepless nights, and meetings with bank managers. We’ll be updating the website soon with more details about the place, but for now do please email us for all the info…
