Jennat El MossafirRiad · Essaouira

The house

Push open the door of this authentic medina riad, and let the calm do the rest.

The main patio: whitewashed walls, stone arch and green fretwork screens

Two patios for living outdoors, indoors

The main patio, under its stone arch, hosts meals in the shade of green fretwork screens. The second, with its fireplace corner, is for cooler evenings. Everywhere, light falls from the open sky.

Lounge, TV and quiet corners

A small lounge with TV and DVDs, low sofas, leather poufs and corners to read in. The house is designed so a group of 12 can gather, or find solitude.

The rooftop terrace

White loungers, colourful cushions, and the medina stretching to the ocean. The summer kitchen is made for barbecues and dinners under the stars. This is where stays become stories.
