I have just returned from one of the best holidays ever! Maison du Sud is perfectly situated in the centre of the busy Medina of Essaouira and yet once you step inside the riad you are greeted with a wonderfully calm and relaxed atmosphere. The hotel staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms clean,comfortable, spacious and full... More

This Riad is superb. Right from arrival we were made to feel almost part of the family. The hosts are generous of their time and hospitality is superb. The staff at the Riad are all wonderful too, they go out of their way to be polite and helpful. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. we had Room 19 which was... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Riad Maison du sud in january and had an amazing time. The staff were so helpful and attended to our every need. My husband and I - we stayed in a beautifully decorated room and enjoyed breakfast in the courtyard. We enjoyed an evening meal at the Riad ,the staff were so great.... More

I stayed at the riad as part of a yoga retreat. The staff was incredibly helpful and the food was great. I loved my split level room and the roof of the riad was great for lounging or having breakfast. It was centrally located in the Media, so it was easy to walk to everything. I would definitely stay there... More

I stayed at the Maison Du Sud as part of the photography course organised by Darren of Images in the Sun. (Photographers should give it a try http://www.imagesinthesun.com). The accomodation is spacious and comfortable and contained everything I needed. My room was quiet and unaffected by street noise. The Riad is located only about 5 minutes walk from the Port... More

Stayed at Maison du Sud for one week and I could not have had an better vacation. My room was quiet as I requested when I book my holiday because inside the medina the sounds from people and seagulls in the morning can be a little to much. Breakfast is simple but good and the staff friendly and are interested... More

The riad was booked for us by Darren who uses it as a base for his photography holidays. We went out on 4 days for the excellent cookery course run by his wife Naima and joined the photographers in the evenings and on a day trip to the countryside. The service was very good and the staff friendly. Our room... More

Couldn't have had a better experience from the moment we walked in the door. We didn't have a reservation, but they ushered us to a room that was so nice compared to our riad in Marrakech I had to make sure it was a standard double. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the only issue was the noise from... More
