This Riad was perfect for our 3 night stay. The terrace is a really nice place to chill during the day and the room was perfect for what we needed. Wafaa was extremely kind and welcoming giving us great restaurant recommendations. The breakfast was very nice and varied each morning slightly which was nice. The Riad definitely made our stay in Essaouira much more enjoyable!

Thank you Giovanni and Lara - we loved our stay. Riad El Paco has been fantastic. I love the location, the room and the service. I cannot fault Lara and Giovanni - such wonderful hosts! They helped us have a glorious time. We were there for just 4 days, and would easily go back just to stay here and see them again. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Please listen to their recommendations which were spot on. Highly recommend this Riad for your stay. And contact them directly Grazie

Not a lot to say but reiterate all previous positive comments. Had an enjoyable stay with excellent hosts. Situated just inside Medina with easy access to beach and restaurants.Should you have any walking difficulties, best to request a lower floor room. As with many Riads there are lots of stairs.

We arrived in Essaouira on a Supratours bus from Marrakech and had been sent (upon booking) a map with directions to the Riad which was extremely useful. It’s a short, flat 10mins walk from the bus station. The Riad is located in an alleyway off a main street and once you get your bearings it is easy to find. We were greeted with huge smiles and a warm welcome which was really nice. Reception is open until 7pm but there are emergency phone numbers and a phone left in reception in case you need to use it. We had to let the Riad know what time we were arriving in advance. It’s also worth noting that payment for you room is in cash. You have two keys – one to your room and one to the front door to come and go as you please. The location of this Riad was excellent – right in the heart of the medina and a short walk to the port area and to the beach. Lots of restaurants close by. The staff were very helpful at providing a map, marking out restaurant recommendations (and one’s to avoid) and places of interest. Breakfast was served in the common area from 8:30am – 10:30am and was delicious on both mornings that we stayed – omelette, breads, pancakes, honey, jams, yoghurt, plus a hot drink and freshly squeezed orange juice. The lady who served it was a lovely, polite lady. The room we stayed in was called the ‘Sahara’ - it took a few attempts at trying to lock it successfully but once we knew how to do it it was easy. The room was adequate in size for our needs, the bed was comfortable and bathroom functional. It was a little bit dark and stuffy, so we slept with the window open which helped. I would take some ear plugs as you can hear the noise. Towels were provided daily and the room/bathroom was very clean. WiFi was ok.I was delighted at the welcoming and friendly feel this Riad had. They were so helpful printing off our boarding passes which I really appreciated. The service was excellent!! The location is perfect. For those on a budget or just looking for some great Moroccan hospitality – look no further, this was a great place to stay!

Me and my girlfriend spent 4 nights at Riad Dar El Paco (Sahara room) and we absolutely enjoyed our time in this lovely location!.All the staff was very kind, welcoming, professional, and they gave us a lot of useful information for travelling to Marrakech, riding camels and finding delicious restaurant in Essaouira.We also loved the central location of the hotel in the Medina, perfect for walking around and buying souvenirs in the local market, and their breakfast was delicious!Highly reccomended!
