Stunningly beautiful. Warm welcome from arrival. All the rooms were well equipped and attractively presented. We had dinner 2 nights. The mechoui was excellent (a first for us!) and both coucous and tagine were very good.

The room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable, everything was incredibly clean, the location was amazing, Corinne and her staff were very kind and we received great tips about restaurants, rooftops and little shops.

A Perfect Escape in Essaouira! We absolutely loved our stay at Mama Lova! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome – check-in was a breeze, and we instantly felt right at home. Each morning started with a fantastic breakfast spread, full of delicious options that kept us happily fueled for a day of exploring. And let me tell you, the beds were so comfortable! We ended up sleeping a solid 10 hours the first night, which is unusual for us – a true testament to how cozy it was. The rooftop was something special, with incredible views over the city – honestly, I think it’s the best view in all of Essaouira. We spent so much time up there just soaking it all in. The hotel’s location couldn’t have been better either; we were close to everything, making it easy to stroll around and enjoy all the charm of the city. The entire property was spotless, well-kept, and had such a lovely, welcoming feel – and for a very reasonable price too! Our room was not only impeccably clean and cozy, but it was also well soundproofed, which gave us a peaceful retreat at the end of each day. Even the water pressure was excellent – a small detail, but it really added to the comfort! The Wi-Fi worked perfectly everywhere, right up to the rooftop, which made it easy to stay connected while enjoying those stunning views. Mama Lova is one of those places that you leave already wanting to come back. For anyone looking for a friendly, beautiful place to stay in Essaouira, I couldn’t recommend it more. We left with happy hearts, big smiles, and can’t wait to return!

Staying at this Riad was an unforgettable experience. The staff treated me like family, making me feel right at home from the moment of arrival . The building itself is exquisite, beautifully preserved with charming details that transport you to another time. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, local options that delighted my taste buds each morning. The roof terrace was a highlight, offering stunning ocean views that took my breath away. It was the perfect spot to unwind, listen to the soothing sound of the waves, and lose myself in a good book. This Riad is a true gem, a sanctuary where you can truly relax and recharge. I even extended my stay when I was there and can't wait to return.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
