An extraordinary townhouse in Essaouira’s enchanting medina

Three minutes from the souks and five minutes from Essaouira’s beach and fishing port is Dar Rondé, a riad townhouse with rounded walls, Berber doorways, vibrantly coloured stone floors and fireplaces set deep in to soaring white walls. Designed by Maria Pergay, the house is spread over three floors with two large en-suite bedrooms, one kingsize, one twin, a private sauna and two secluded terraces (one in the middle, one on the roof). A garden of palms fills the tiled courtyard as you enter the house, circled by glass walls, there is an entertainment room with traditional beldi ceiling and a salon with long sofas and spacious dining area.


Private cook: On your first evening, house chef, Yusef will prepare a welcoming, complimentary tagine to restore you after your long journey here. Every morning, breakfast will be provided (included in the price) ranging from breads, omelettes and fruit salad to yoghurts and traditional Moroccan style delights.

Should you wish to dine-in on other days, Yusef will prepare meals for you at additional cost.

Lovely stay
Our family had the most beautiful stay in this lovely house in the Medina in Essaoiura. The house is beautiful and the bed was the most comfortable throughout our stay in Morocco. The best with our stay was Kamar, throughout our stay she looked out for us family in the most kind manner and every morning she prepared the most amazing breakfast and always with the consideration of our needs. When we arrived we had a lovely dinner prepared for us. We loved all about our stay and give our deepest thanks to Kamar for making our visit so special.

Great place to stay in Essaouira. Kamar and her team make you really feel at home.
We stayed for 3 nights with our daghter. The pickup from the airport worked well and our driver was very careful. Dar Ronde was delightful. A very spacious and airy place to stay. The breakfasts were a great start to the day and the evening meal one night was a very tasty local tagine. Thoroughly recommended.

In the medina
This property is located in a the heart of the Medina, in an area inhabited by residents. We would recommend this property if you are staying two or more days. This gives you time to acclimatize to the area and enjoy the comforts of the home. The two ladies who provided cooking and cleaning are delightful. The breakfasts were great. Karmar, the property manager, was very attentive and was happy to arrange private transportation for us. We felt the home looked tired and was in need of new paint, cleaning of tile floors and general “pick up”. However we hear the owner is going to be undertaking some renovations. The home is on four floors and has very narrow stairs in winding staircases. We also felt a little more attention to having some soap and shampoo, and another bedside lamp in the bedroom , and cleaning of the plants would improve the appeal. By the time we left,we were wishing we had booked longer.

Fabulous house - perfect for a family.
We spent Christmas at Dar Ronde and it was absolutely perfect for us - a family of 2 adults and 2 children (age 10 and 12). The house is large (especially the bedrooms), well-appointed, in a great location and had everything that we needed. Meriam (the housekeeper) and Kamar (the agent) were super-friendly, helpful and really made our holiday special (although it helps a lot to speak French). The breakfasts and dinners that Meriam prepared were delicious and it was such a treat to come down to breakfast that someone else had prepared every morning. The medina is easy to find your way around and the house is on the "quiet" side - but within easy reach of everything, including the beach. All in all, a wonderful place to stay - I would highly recommend it!

Ticks all the boxes
Lovely house, space, light, clean, and a great location in the heart of the Medina. Kamar and her team made us more than welcome, and the breakfasts each day were a great way to kick off. Highly recommended,

Perfect property for a memorable family holiday.
Absolutely loved our one week stay in Dar Ronde. Comfortable and clean it's perfectly located for exploring Essaouira. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Our house keeper was absolutely brilliant; we could not have hoped for a nicer host to prepare breakfast and help us get the most from our holiday including a memorable visit to a hammam for my wife and daughter. Highly recommended for families who want some Easter sun (it wasn't too windy during our stay), to explore different cultures and like a bit of adventure during their vacations. The horse riding at Ranch de Diabat was particularly cool.

Enjoy!
We had a great time at the Dar Ronde in the middle of the medina. We truly enjoyed Kamar, her stories, her support and her cooking. The children loved to visit the souk and once or twice we ended a tiring day in the hamman on the top floor. We've recommended your house to some friends already so maybe one day Kamar will welcome some of them.

Brilliant time!
We had a delightful time in Dar Ronde. Kamar was a wonderful host - making sure all was fine and helping us with any directions, amenities and anything we suggested. Anna was also a lovely house keeper and made us breakfast on the terrace which was a treat. The house is beautifully designed to incorporate Moroccan features and very relaxing to be in. We also enjoyed the Medina and the seaside - very relaxing to stroll along the beaches, dip in the sea and consider camel rides ( we intend to do next time). The people of Essaouira were diverse, friendly and playful with their bargaining - one or two a little forceful but we gradually learnt there are no hard feelings and it is just good to exchange ideas about prices and possibilities. the bazaar is full of exotic clothes, food, spices and smells and the restaurants great. It is also peaceful to be in the Medina area without motor cars but just the odd scooter and cyclist. Finally Abby the owner was really welcoming and helpful.
