Hospitality raised to the level of art I read the very good reviews and decided to book this riad, but it exceeded my expectations. The riad is recently renovated, everything is new and tasteful. Located in the center of the medina. But what really makes it special compared to other locations is the kindness of the hostess, Said is at your disposal at any time, offering good advice and whatever you want. The breakfast served on the terrace of the riad is delicious and different every day, special thanks to Myriam who delighted us every morning with delicious Moroccan pancakes. What can I say, I recommend anyone to visit this riad

Beautiful modern yet traditional place with excellent service from reservation all the way throughout the stay to check-out. Staff are amazing without exception. Excellent breakfast, with various hot food options to choose from, served on the roof top with distant sea-view. Fireplace in the room lit on cold evenings. Comfortable beds, smart and chic room layout, hot shower with good water pressure. For people sharing a room: the bathroom door may not block sight nor sound. WiFi available throughout the property. Pets allowed (check ahead for surcharge); you may be lucky to meet the cute resident dog and cat. The Riad is on a narrow alley inside the pedestrian-only old town (Medina) and you can thus hear what is going on around you in the hotel and in the streets. Call ahead for assistance with parking just outside the Medina walls.

- Mama Lova is in a great location. It's in a very central area of Essaouira, but nicely tucked away so that you don't feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. - The space is beautifully renovated and clean. - The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They are all smiles, and that is very appreciated. - There were no other guests in the riad while we were there, so we had the entire space to ourselves. - The terrace is beautiful and offers amazing views of the city. - The wifi/wi-fi good enough to take work calls. A family member was able to work remotely there without issues. The wifi speed is between 7 and 11 mpbs. One would think it's not a lot but it was not an issue. Hopefully in the future they can make it faster. - Breakfast is great. Good assortment of breads and spreads, tea, juice, and eggs in the style of your choosing. - We took the family deluxe suite with four beds, for three people. Each person could have their own space and a degree of privacy which was nice.

Beautiful dar, decorated with taste, mixing modern and traditional elements, we especially loved the terrace. The location is perfect - close to the main streets of the medina, near the petit taxi ranks, yet quiet at night. We would also like to praise the soul of this dar - Amina. She is the most adorable person, so sweet and helpful. She was always there, ready to help or simply have a chat. And her breakfast was amazing! ❤️ She loves cooking and even offers cooking classes if you’d like a local experience! Amina is the perfect example of Moroccan hospitality. We truly hope to come back one day!

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!
