We were met at the Bab Marrakech entrance to the Medina within 5 mins of calling to say we had arrived and led to the Riad. The Riad is in a great location, it has a beautiful entrance hall and is really quiet considering its location. We opted for a cheap room so it was pretty small compared to the... More

Very easy to find with an extremely helpful host in Sylvie. Breakfast was delicious. Our room was upgraded to a suite, which was spacious and very comfortable. Sylvie, please send your husband regards from the couple from 'kaptun' ;-) Wouldn't stay anywhere else in the medina. Essaouria is a must see, relaxing and the medina not as expensive and full...

It was our first time in Essaouira, and on entering the riad we were immediately impressed by the quiet, restful atmosphere for somewhere located in the busy streets near the centre of the old medina. Service was impeccable, we were made very welcome with a personal meet & greet from the bus station, and daily mint tea and home made... More

Beautiful, friendly- when we checked in, the owner Sylvie sat down to tea with us and gave us a map of the town and went through all of her recommendations (which all turned out to be great). In the medina but not too hard to find

Brilliant location in Essaouira. Friendly staff - gave us a warm welcome and helped you to plan our two days of adventure. Breakfast was a lovely bonus while staying at Riad Dar Nafoura. I would recommend this accommodation to all (families, couples and groups on friends). Thank you Helen and Annie!

We literally stumbled on this place by pure chance-and what a chance! From the otuside it looked like nothing special, a small alley leading to a dark door-but once inside it was spectacular, an incredible hotel bdone out in a really interesting way to celebrate local culture and provide a little European luxury. The owners are a couple from Brittany... More

A last mintute find as we wandered through the Medina of Essaouira we were deligeted to discover this little gem Extremely clean and very comfortable, Dar Nafoura was the perfect spot. Best of all was the excellent hospitality from Silvia and Jackie. A really memorable experience -- highly recommended by a very satisfied Irish customer

We stayed in Dar Nafoura for four days, booking the entire house for a foodtrips.co.uk cookery trip. I have never experienced a similar level of hospitality in any Riad, hotel or guest house. Sylvie and Jacky were focussed on making our stay as enjoyable as possible and gladly agreed to us taking over their entire house and staff, turning it... More

The riad is fantastic and well maintained. The rooms are clean, well decorated, cosy and perfect for romantic nights. The terrace is also a great place to hang out. But... More
