Wonderful riad, very centrally located and a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the medina.
Rooms are a good size, some are larger than others. Bathroom was clean albeit a little dark as there are no windows. Fresh towels every day.
Everywhere was beautifully decorated with low seating and lots of cushions; candle light and side lamps added to the ambience in the evenings.
Staff were very helpful.
Would highly recommend.

I signed up for a photography holiday with Darren Lewey and the accomodation was in this gorgeous Riad. Located in the heart of the medina and close to the port, it is in an ideal location and the staff are attentive and kind. I had a lovely rooftop terrace room which was spacious and cleaned every day. The photography course was one of the best things I have ever done. Darren is a great teacher and somehow managed to get me taking the photographs that I had always dreamed of taking but never thought I could! The town is beautiful, so relaxed and the people generous and open. I would recommend the Riad for a holiday, the photography course for anyone wishing to progress with digital photography and Essaouira itself for a releaxing break away from the rush of Marrakesh!

Perfectly located in the old walled city, Maison de Sud has lots of nooks to explore plus a roof terrace. My room had a loft where the bed was, and was warm enough , even in January.
The bath was a bit dark and moldy, but hey, this is right at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and moldy wood and stone are part of Essaouira´s charm. The blue and green painted doors are just gorgeous throughout the medina.
Maison has blue Mediterranean type shutters which are easy to spot when you arrive.

The front desk staff was quite informative, even down to some details about special cotton curtains they have in the rooms.
The breakfast is upscale continental, strong flavorful cafe au lait, and the restaurant has a menu of the evening for a good price that proved to be delicious, candles everywhere around low tables and sofas for reclining, making this a favorite romantic evening meeting place fit for any caliph.

I booked this riad after reading reviews on Trip advisor and was very pleased with my decision. The riad is bang in the middle of the souk, about 5 mins walk to the beach. It is beautifully decorated and rooms are very large. Some rooms face the street and can be quite noisy during the night so avoid if your a light sleeper. The breakfast is delicious with something new each day. Staff are friendly and helpful willing to provide information and tips. The shower in our bathroom was broken and was replaced within 10-15 mins of reporting to reception. A porter was also sent to collect us from the Supratour bus station as we were unsure of the location.

Overall, this is a very good riad with fantastic service and a lot cheaper than some of the other riads of similiar standards. Free wifi connection is also available. I would definitely stay here again.
