I could not have chosen a better place to stay in Essaouira, Villa Quieta really is quiet. Best nights sleep I’ve had in a while, it’s super quiet the sheets are very very comfortable, so are the mattresses. You have endless rooms to talk and hangout in. The garden is super peaceful with a beautiful elegant and calm cat. The food in the breakfast and we had dinner once it was delicious. The whole staff is super attentive and kind, gives good food suggestions. Bassma was really kind and explained to us where to go in the Medina. The pool was amazing for when we got tired of the beach. The location is super close to the beach, it’s right across the street from the place. Not to mention getting lost in all the art and beautiful interiors of the place it’s like a museum. If you need to clear your head and relax this is where you’ll be best taken care of! Thank you for everything ✨✨✨

This is by far the best hotel stay we’ve had in ages - never been met with such hospitality. We came here to kite surf, and the lovely and accommodating staff were to helpful with everything (they even let us use the surf shop next door to store and clean our kites). The breakfast was delicious. We even arrived right after a recent renovation period, and were as a result the only guest at the hotel for a few days, and the staff even gave us a free upgrade. We had the pleasure of staying at the honeymoon suite with a ocean view - simply perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, and can’t wait to be back. And have to mention the beautiful garden as well!

Nothing at all!

We had a great 3 nights staying here and visiting Essaouira. The room was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 teenage children - large and comfortable with a king-sized bed and 2 big singles up on a mezzanine. The staff were reserved but always friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious and very generous. It worked well for us being right by the beach for surfing and football, and we enjoyed the 20 minute walk along the beach esplanade (or a quick 10mdr taxi ride if you don’t fancy walking) up to the Medina. The pool was lovely and would be great in hotter weather, but a bit cold when we visited in April.

The stay at Villa Quieta was the highlight of our trip to Morocco. I wish we had stayed longer. I read some critical comments on Google calling it "just another hotel" and complaining about the shabby furniture. Well, believe me, it is NOT just another hotel, not even close, and the furniture was the last thing we were thinking about during our stay. We LOVED the decor, the location, the room, the breakfast, the attitude of the staff. It was wonderful, wonderful!!! Many thanks to Villa Quieta for such a comfortable and relaxing stay in the midst of the hectic Moroccan environment. We will be back!

BEAUTIFUL TRADTIONAL MORROCON STYLE WALK FOR 2 MINS AND YOU ARE ON THE BEACH WITH A GREAT BEACH BAR, GOOD FOOD, GOOD VIBE, AND LIVE MUSIC BREAKFAST WAS LOVELY AND LOTS OF IT HOTEL NOWS SERVES LIGHT LUCHES WHICH WE HAD MOST DAYS AROUND THE POOL REALLY TASTY VERY QUIET HOTEL BUT A WALK ALONG THE BEACH TOOK YOU TO THE TOWN WHICH IS ALWAYS LIVELY LOTS OF RESTAURANTS AND BARS ALONG THE WAY. VERY WINDY AT NIGHT SO TAKE A SWEAT SHIRT, LIGHT COAT FOR THE WALK BACK SPENT 7 NIGHTS HERE LOVED IT STAFF WERE WONDERFUL THEY ORGANISED ALL OUR ACTIVITIES ELECTRIC BIKES - QUOD BIKES - CAMEL RIDES - TAXIS

Villa Quieta was gorgeous - beautifully decorated and spacious. We had the sea view deluxe suite - it was huge - exactly as the picture on their website. The bed was quite big, so was the living room - the terrace had all the amenities to enjoy the sun and the beautiful views over the sea. It’s located right on the beach, which made it very easy to go for a swim or walk along the beach. It was about half an hour walk to the medina, so it’s easy to avoid the hustle and bustle of the medina if you are a fan of quiet holiday. Hotel staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good too. We paid by card at checkout. It’s was totally worth it and we will definitely go back. We enjoyed Essaouria much more than Marrakech in general - relaxed vibe and friendly people. Our review will be incomplete if we don’t mention the lovely boy who sensed that we had lost our way while following a strange direction to Carrefour provided by Google maps, which is otherwise a 10 mins straight walk from the hotel - he walked all the way to Carrefour with us while chatting to us - so so nice.

The property doesn’t have any dinner service - you might be able to ask separately but they don’t offer it. The location of the property is such that there are not many nearby restaurant if you want a quick bite - it will be good if they start offering dinner service

Fantastic location right next to the beach. The breakfast was awesome and generous. There is a pool which was very welcomed as the sea can be difficult to access (unless you are kite surfing). The rooms are beautifully decorated, large and super comfortable. Staff are all super friendly and welcoming.

It would have been nice to have a small lunch menu there too as all meals have to be taken outside of the villa (except for breakfast). Be prepared for a good 20min walk into the town (Medina). You can get a taxi in/back.

Such a relaxing place to be! Every corner of Villa Quieta is delightful with something interesting to see. It is VERY quiet - which for us was great. The fresh orange juice! This is a fascinating house with so much traditional and exquisite craftsmanship in the architecture. We would have liked to have had more information about the history of the house. The team were lovely and helpful and we would not hesitate to stay there again.

It would be useful to have information in the room containing the WiFi password, instructions for the safe, nearby restaurants with opening times. However, the reception team provided everything we needed the following morning. It would be great to be able to get something small to eat outside of breakfast so you don't have to leave the Villa.

This was our second trip to Morocco, but the first to Essaouira. We loved it, and it's become our favorite location. We wanted to stay away from the busy center and chose Villa Quieta for that reason. It was the perfect choice and lived up to its name. It's near an expansive beach, within easy reach of the Medina and harbor, and has an authentic feel with traditional Moroccan design. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the room was spacious with a balcony view of the ocean. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved the location, a few minutes walk to the beach and a choice of beach clubs for eating and chilling. This part of the beach has kite surfing camel and horse riding. The riad is lovely and we enjoyed chilling by the pool which is very sheltered. The walk in to town (20mins) is along the beach promenade and we usually got a taxi back for around £1. Lovely rooftop restaurants in the medina. Staff at Villa Quieta were always very helpful and kind.

We were woken up at 7 every morning by what sounded like a juice smoothie type machine. Not a big deal and it maybe only ground floor rooms that heard it
