it was a great location, beautiful and clean Riad. Tarik and the rest of the staff were always really friendly and accommodating. there was a lovely roof terrace, and it was only a minute walk to the middle of the Medina and only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

What a hidden gem! But the real treasure here is the people. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome—no request was too much, and every interaction was met with a warm smile. The breakfast was delicious, the rooms beautifully designed and impeccably clean. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or the perfect starting point to explore Essaouira and its surroundings, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for two nights using it as a base before finding something different. Having moved to somewhere else we realised how beautiful this place is. The breakfast is amazing. And Helene who served the breakfast is lovely. The basic room was a little cramped for two people and two suitcases but still very nicely decorated. I would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at Riad Titima was wonderful! We would happily recommend Riad Titima to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, warm and qualitative place to stay just outside of Essaouira. The Riad itself is beautiful, with a pool and very well-kept garden full of hibiscus and olive trees (and a turtle!). The rooms were spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Good shower with plenty of hot water and a proper baby bed for our daughter! Also, your babyfoon will have reception in the dining area, which is nice. Daniel was a very gracious and attentive host, with an eye for details and good tips for different fun restaurants and activities. Amina is a wonderful cook, both the breakfast and the (3 course!) dinners were excellent and plentiful. Zakaria and Fatima were very attentive and kind. Our daughter took a great liking to Fatima and she was super sweet to her! In short, it felt like home, only way better. We hope to return soon and wish everyone at Riad Titima the very best.

I really loved my stay at Riad Bab. It is a nicely located authentic house and you can feel it while staying there. The room was clean and nicely furnished, we also got a terrace with a view. When we had a small issue with the shower it was fixed instantly. Everyday a delicious traditional marrocan breakfast was prepered for us by the hosts. They were always there for us to recommend things to do, help with bookings, etc. Overal I really recommenmd staying here

This place is a gem, located in the thick of the medina but feels very serene. Youssef and the team were amazing throughout our stay; they went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed and made reservations for us at some amazing restaurants. Communication was excellent throughout and they helped us with taxis from Agafay to Essaouira (the driver was great so we went with him for our journey to Marrakech). The rooms are lovely and unique - beds are comfy and each one has an incredible bathroom! The rooftop terrace is a nice area and we were able to watch the sun go down in the jacuzzi one evening - you could still hear the waves. Thank you for an amazing stay - I would highly recommend the Riad and would love 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. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    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!
