Charming Guesthouse in Essaouira

Nested in a quite area of the Essaouira medina, you can take advantage of access to the main touristic attractions and the beach within 5 minutes walk

Dar Liouba is a former Imam's home re-designed into a sophisticated guesthouse filled with plants and carved cedar wood
Dar means house in Arabic and Liouba is a Russian endearment for love - a great deal of which went into creating this airy, stylish abode. It was a Russian furniture designer who first created and ran this guesthouse with her Chinese-French jewellery-making partner, and whose brilliant hospitality brought rave reviews. Their inspiration to add another storey to this former Imam's home created a wonderful, almost gazebo-like interior.
A pergola rises three floors from the interior courtyard of this former Imam's house, culminating in an octagonal skylight.

This intriguing structure provides each bedroom with a charming cedarwood balcony, from which you look down into a small internal garden that is a specific feature of these town houses.

We have 6 rooms and a suite (apartment) placed on 3 levels, with comfort: Kinédorsal-bed, arabo-andalous architecture, these rooms are bright and sunny, cosy and romantic.
