Villa Quieta

Very pleasant hotel. Spacious, lovely rooms and comfortable beds. Swimming pool was lovely and really nice place to chill for a few hours. Breakfast was fine, same everyday though and far too much food, I hope the leftover isn't wasted. Staff were quiet and helpful. We just found it lacked atmosphere, quite a functional feeling to the place. Bill needs to be settled by cash which was a surprise for a 4 star hotel and they said they didn't have any change at all either, which seems odd. Hotel is an easy 20 min walk to the heart of Essaouira, heed all the warnings that this place is seriously windy!!!

Without a doubt, Essaouira is the ultimate place to be! Bassma is an exceptionally professional and consistently goes the extra mile to assist guests. The garden and the swimming pool are undisputed gems. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with proximity to the beach and a mere ten-minute walk from the city centre.

We spend 8 days at Villa Quieta and had the opportunity to spend time in different rooms, because of our late minute booking. This hotel is gorgeous (original Marrocan style) and will placed just in front of the beach. Villa Quita’s team is just top! Ready to help whenever needed. We’ve liked the atmosphere of being a smaller hotel compared to others, it is there for well suited for families or groups. We had 2 days of introduction to kitesurfing with Kamal. A top experience! Because the wind was between 50-60km/h, he took us to a place which was perfect to get introduced to it, even with these extreme (for beginners) conditions. I’d advise this hotel for the following reasons: Cosy and authentic hotel Great quality (large) rooms Fantastic team ! Close (1km) to the fabulous medina - and yet not having the noise of staying in the medina Btw, plenty of top restaurants in the medina!! Great instructors for kitesurfing and surfing 50 meters from the beach The garden is an oasis of peace Airport of Essaouira is at 15 min Definitely will come back!

My daughter and I had a wonderful Experience at this beautiful and peaceful hotel right near the beach. The hotel is very clean and lovely throughout. The breakfast included freshly cooked eggs , bread, Croissants, pancakes, juice, and tea. We appreciated the joyful atmosphere and excellent customer service.

Really nice stay at the villa quieta. Beautiful view, the furniture in our rooms was so beautiful. We were 2 adults with older teenagers and our rooms didn't feel cramped at all. Pool area was lovely too. Breakfast was good. Would definitely come back!

We booked this on the recommendation of a friend and we weren't disappointed. We had rooms 5 & 7 and they were both comfortable and spacious. The hotel is beautifully laid out with lounges and areas to relax inside and out, sunny and shady spaces through the lovely gardens and around the terrific pool. Essaouira is famed for its wind, but the pool and garden areas provide quite a bit of shelter. The beach is just across the road, and we really enjoyed the local Beaches & Friends bar/restaurant there (see my separate review). The local blue taxis are also easy to catch on the corner near the hotel, for 7-10 Dirham. NB: they only take 2-3 people per taxi. We typically caught a taxi up to the old town/port as that way is into the wind(!), and walked back. It's about 15 minutes from the gates of the Medina. Breakfast is huge, meaning we quite often didn't need lunch; fresh OJ, different types of breads with lovely jams and honey, yogurts & fruit salad, optional eggs. It is the same every day, but why should that be such a problem?! The staff are all super helpful, and booked us a taxi back to Marrakesh that was excellent. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel, but based on the snacks (briwates, chips, mint tea etc) that we did eat, I can only assume it will be very good.
