it was a great location, beautiful and clean Riad. Tarik and the rest of the staff were always really friendly and accommodating. there was a lovely roof terrace, and it was only a minute walk to the middle of the Medina and only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Hospitality raised to the level of art I read the very good reviews and decided to book this riad, but it exceeded my expectations. The riad is recently renovated, everything is new and tasteful. Located in the center of the medina. But what really makes it special compared to other locations is the kindness of the hostess, Said is at your disposal at any time, offering good advice and whatever you want. The breakfast served on the terrace of the riad is delicious and different every day, special thanks to Myriam who delighted us every morning with delicious Moroccan pancakes. What can I say, I recommend anyone to visit this riad

From the moment we entered the riad, we were surprised by the tasteful way it has been renovated and decorated. The receptionist, a young local woman, gave us a map and explained the best places to visit and the best gastronomic spots in Essaouira. Our room for 3 people was clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice, and it combined local dishes (freshly cooked) with more european continental food The location is ideal, on a calm alley on the side of one of the most central and busy streets.

We stayed here for two nights using it as a base before finding something different. Having moved to somewhere else we realised how beautiful this place is. The breakfast is amazing. And Helene who served the breakfast is lovely. The basic room was a little cramped for two people and two suitcases but still very nicely decorated. I would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at Riad Titima was wonderful! We would happily recommend Riad Titima to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, warm and qualitative place to stay just outside of Essaouira. The Riad itself is beautiful, with a pool and very well-kept garden full of hibiscus and olive trees (and a turtle!). The rooms were spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Good shower with plenty of hot water and a proper baby bed for our daughter! Also, your babyfoon will have reception in the dining area, which is nice. Daniel was a very gracious and attentive host, with an eye for details and good tips for different fun restaurants and activities. Amina is a wonderful cook, both the breakfast and the (3 course!) dinners were excellent and plentiful. Zakaria and Fatima were very attentive and kind. Our daughter took a great liking to Fatima and she was super sweet to her! In short, it felt like home, only way better. We hope to return soon and wish everyone at Riad Titima the very best.

We really liked the accommodation, great location just a few steps from busy shops and restaurants, yet a very quiet place. Close to the sea and the port. Simo is a fantastic host, he was waiting for us by the bus and escorted us to the riad. He was very helpful all the time, he advised us good local restaurants and helped with printing the boarding pass.

Great stay in the medina of Essaouira. Comfortable, quiet, nice aesthetics, friendly staff and nice (simple but good) breakfast. Youssef helped us arrange a private transfer from Marrakesh and to Taghazout, which was very convenient and a comparable price to renting a car.
