We have found this old cinema posters in a junk market in Essaouira and could not resist them…
………..it came in, sat on the light and looked around, banged its head into the wall a few time trying to find its way out and it went!!!
left some bread crumbs on the fireplace lets see if it comes back again.

Thank you to the Studio Ricci Oddi Massoni in Piacenza for its generous donation.
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…
Weather – with at least 320 days of sun, it is HOT, with BLUE SKIES all the way.
The amazing sunsets giving every night a spectacle of colours, either PINK, ORANGE or DEEP BLUE…don’t forget your camera!
Lovely fresh fish and an ever changing supply of fresh fruit and vegetables…let’s EAT EAT EAT
It’s a shopping paradise, with fairer prices than in many other Moroccan tourist destinations, and less need to barter. So you can SHOP TILL YOU DROP
Essaouira is like a window onto a simpler past long lost in Western Europe. ENJOY IT!
