“The perfect secret hideaway. Bohemian charm with a sunny roof terrace for sunbathing and stargazing right in the heart of the Medina with an easy walk to the beach and all restaurants.”
– Andrea B.
What to expect
Relaxed, family friendly holiday house in Essaouira Medina
Sleeps 2-4
Dar Emma is a charming, little 2-bed hippy house nestled at the front of the Old Medina in Essaouira. It is very well situated being a very short walk to the main square, Place Moulay Hassan, and an easy 10-minute walk to Essaouira's long sandy beach.
Features
The style is very traditional with thick stone walls and original patterned tiles on the floors. It is furnished with a mix of modern 1960's pieces plus a few Moroccan artefacts thrown in. You get a feel for 'the real Essaouira' when staying at Dar Emma - there are a handful of Moroccan families living in the small side street, all very friendly and making life a lot more interesting than if staying in a hotel. Cosy enough for a couple yet enough space and privacy if there are 4 people. The house is laid out over 4 floors:
Ground level: The ground floor has an open plan dining area with fire place and a small kitchen around the central courtyard.
1st floor: There is a cosy double bedroom with a shower room opposite.
2nd floor: Features another double bedroom and a small terrace with an outdoors dining area.
3rd floor: Go up again to the 3rd floor terrace, it's the perfect place to chill out, decked out with comfy cushions and a couple of director chairs, so you can truly relax and unwind in comfort.
Please note: The occasional cat may wander into the house, please don’t be alarmed. Essaouira is brimming with friendly felines and the traditional architecture of Dar Emma makes it impossible to avoid the occasional visitor. Most clients enjoy their guest visitors as it just adds to the overall homely feel!

“Dar Emma is a dream property and one I would stay in again and again. You get a feel for ‘the real Essaouira’ when staying here. It not only made us feel inspired but also felt very comfortable and like home. We love falling asleep to magical dreams of our stay.”
