Riad De La Mer

Riad de le Mer is an 18th century Jewish merchant's house situated in the oldest part of the Medina, known as the kasbah. Recently restored with the addition of modern facilities, it nevertheless retains the rich character of the original house.

This is one of the best located riads in Essaouira, with stunning panoramic views from the terrace which immediately overlooks the sea and port; beyond, there is the massive sweep of the entire bay. Just a few paces from the heart of the town, Place Moulay Hassan with all its bustling cafes and restaurants, this is nevertheless a house which offers a great sense of tranquillity and plenty of space.

During the day the rooms are sunny, light and airy due to a central light well, but in the evenings one can equally well cosy up to a log fire in either of the two salons. The first two floors are traditionally decorated with many period items - chandeliers, antique beds and textiles - with the high ceilings also representing an unusual feature. On the third floor, a more modern character prevails: the colour white becomes predominant, as does simplicity of d�cor, and one becomes aware of sky, seagulls, waves. The views from the terrace, which is not overlooked, are quite simply magnificent.
