Ideal base to explore Essaouira. Inside the Medina but easy to find via straight line from the parking lot entrance. You get advice on how to get there when booking. The room was spacious, strong shower and wifi. Staff were attentive and the breakfasts on the terrace set you up for the day. Shops on the doorstep and easy walk to the port. Recommended as a traditional riad.

I am nearly 70 years old, I find it hard to say it out loud, I have been travelling for 50 years, I have visited maybe 80 different countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels. This is , quite simply, one of the best of them all. Can I try to explain why ? On arrival it is so unassuming; a small entrance from a busy street in the middle of the ancient Medina. A single sign, it would be easy to miss, but inside, it is like Doctor Who’s Tardis: only about 10 bedrooms arranged over four levels; each built around a central courtyard with tables, sunbeds and so on It is immaculately clean and artistically decorated The top floor is quiet, peaceful with a great view over the city. A perfect place to spend two hours with a book on sunny afternoon The breakfast is one of the beds, not just as the food is so imaginative, but because of the friendly service, and the stunning location We LOVED our bedroom: a large comfortable bed, high quality cotton (or was kt line ?) sheets and pillows, spotlessly clean, an architecturally stunning bathroom, tea, coffee, air con. We had it all, a little oasis among the hustle and bustle of the Medina Top of the pops though come the staff at the hotel and that means everyone: a fine team,. Everybody friendly, everybody knowing their jobs. Nothing was too much to ask. They really made this feel like home Finally, here is to tip. The hotel does not have a permanent restaurant but Expedia's limit on characters won't let me tell you anymore

Casa Lila is a simply beautiful 300 year old riad, within the walls of the medina, an easy walk to everywhere in Essaouira. The people who work there are warm, lovely and welcoming- they are so helpful, and they love their city. We had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Riad

Amazing stay. Such a nice riad with an absolutely lovely staff. I was blown away when shown my room. So nice, beautiful and cozy. Absolutely loved it. I had both hamam and massage when I stayed and that was such a relaxing experience as well. Loved it and would definitely come back another time when visiting Essaouira.

The staff is lovely and very helpful. I visited the in-house spa and hammam twice. It's not cheap but it was wonderful. I recommend whole heartedly this place and would visit again.

Fin Riad med super beliggenhet

Valgte Casa Lila & Spa pÄ grunn av gode reviews. Ble litt skuffet fÞrste dagen. Hyggelig sted med romslig rom og OK standard. FÞrste natten ble vi veldig plaget av vond lukt fra badet. Etter Ä ha bedt om nytt rom ble vi informert om at alle vannlÄser mÄ plugges igjen. Det burde vi fÄtt vite ved ankomst. Det hadde gjort hele oppholdet mye bedre. Men stedet har super beliggenhet, god frokost og fine rom og oppholdsrom. LItt bedre renhold pÄ terrasen hadde lÞftet helhetsinntrykket
