I have spent three weeks in Dar 91 studio working on my postgraduate thesis, and was happy to be taken care by Naima, the housekeeper and Hakim, the handyman and of course Paolo, the owner, who guided me through travel&stay details with proffessional care. I'm really glad I chose this place for my getaway. I looked for some peace and... More

What a find! We stumbled across Dar91 via the Guardian website, and weren't really sure what to expect. What we found were amazingly designed spaces, full of thoughtfully chosen objects and curiosities, a really helpful guide to spending time in Essaouira, and truly lovely people- one of the owners (Paolo) was there at the same time working in their shop/social...

I loved staying in Dar 91, it was great to be situated in the old Medina where i was immersed in a fascinating and alien culture to me! There is a homely atmosphere about the place, and a great choice of activities that are all easily accessible from the house. Some of the best food we ate was the meals... More

Thanks to Naima and Hakim they really made it work for... More

We were eagerly awaiting our week long stay in Essaouia and chose an appartment so we could buy fresh seafood from the boats to cook, and generaly have plenty of space. Unfortunately, the glossy advertising belied the true state of the apartment. There was building work being carried out (by the ownersr's representative) immediately below us which we weren't warned... More

For me this was a perfect place to stay. Unpretentious but with abundance of character. Everything we needed was on hand. A lady did the cleaning, brought in breakfast and provided any other help and information we wanted.

We wanted somewhere away from the chaos that is Marrakesh to recharge our batteries. What a fantastic find. In a part of the old town we normally wouldn't have experienced it was so peaceful and yet just off the main street. Paolo and Jeremy the owners were there when we arrived and gave us a wealth of advice on what... More
