Family hotels and homes in Diabat

we had an amazing stay in Essaouira! The apartment was incredibly spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The location was ideal, with easy access to the old Medina and the market. A special thanks to our host, Ayoub, who was friendly, welcoming, and also he ensures that everything was perfect for us. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Essaouira and would definitely stay here again!

Everything was great. Location is great, it was comfortable, it was clean an quiet. Breakfast was good and the cleaning crew was super friendly.

This beautiful new boutique hotel is stunningly designed, with every detail carefully thought through and perfectly in harmony. The architecture blends seamlessly into the peaceful countryside, and the interior décor is refined and consistent throughout. The Tamegroute pottery in particular added such a unique touch. The palm tree-lined driveway creates a sense of grandeur as you arrive. From the terrace, the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The pool is delightful: the water temperature was just right, and the sun loungers were comfortable. We stayed in the most basic (and therefore cheapest) room, but it was absolutely perfect: beautifully decorated, a comfortable bed, and a fantastic shower. This is the ideal place to escape the busy work life and truly relax. Some other reviewers mentioned the access road, but we honestly don’t understand the complaints. It’s just a typical Moroccan gravel side road, easily manageable if you drive slowly – as you should anyway, since you often come across goat herds on the way! The food is delicious; not an extensive menu, but that makes perfect sense for such a small-scale hotel where guests often dine in Essaouira. This way, every meal is fresh and nothing goes to waste. The tajines were outstanding, cooked with love, and the breakfasts were a real treat too: different types of pancakes, bread, a freshly made omelette. What really sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. We have traveled to Morocco before and know the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, but the kindness and genuine care of this team were truly exceptional. During our stay, nothing was ever too much trouble. Each staff member, in their own way, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for, and they did it from the heart! They also had a wonderful team spirit among themselves, which made us feel like part of the Zayyna family. Saying goodbye was genuinely difficult.

A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

Garden and swimming pool (no heating). Great hosts!

Better than expected, the staff membres were very very kind , the location , the room and everything is just perfect. Many thanks to Said and Rayan.

Amazing facilities. Super nice to rest: outside Essaouira but still super accessible: around 15minites by car. The staff was super charming and helpful. Also, amazing “Oeufs Berbere” and bread. :))

We absolutely loved staying in the Palazzo, we enjoyed every day of our trip in Essueira knowing that we would be coming back here. We found the room very clean and comfortable. The staff were always super friendly to us throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, served by lovely staff every morning. We even got chatting to the owners one morning (Cyrrile) and let them know how much we liked the Palazzo! Highly highly recommend.

Arrived here from Marrakesh... the long-way... with some 5 hours in the saddle. Bit of a bugger to find from the road using Google Maps initially... but easy when you know how... and look for the signs! However the hospitality was overwhelming with a "bikers beverage of choice" and a quick brief of the Riad and room facilities... Jamal and Kati made me feel very welcome indeed. Great accommodation and very secure parking for many bikes. The room was excellent with great en-suite facilities. The shower was hot and powerful... great for my aches and pains! The bed was big and comfortable. Although they didn't offer dinner the french restaurant they recommended was tres magnifique... and only 400m from the accommodation. The sunset "beverage" on the terrace was idyllic... no noise... just birdsong! I slept like the dead and woke to a magnificent breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool... I did not want to leave! Again I would stay here every time I come to the west coast of Morocco... and despite not being in Essaouira... its in Ghazoua... about 8km outside... its worth it for the peace and tranquility... and that restaurant up the road! I really didn't want to leave... but Casablanca was calling! But to any travellers... especially bikers... for me, it doesn't get any better than this for a weary traveller to rest! to Jamal and Kati... Thank you... Shkran... Tanmirt... Merçi... Je suis Mouchè... ton ami!

This was by far the most beautiful and comfortable Riad we stayed in during our two-week Morocco trip! The owner warmly welcomed us and gave us a bunch of fantastic recommendations for restaurants and cafes over a hot mint tea. It also had the best breakfast and was simply extraordinarily beautiful! Perfect location as well! We couldn't recommend it more!
