“excellent place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

We stayed 2 nights at the end of December and loved everyminute of it. The riad has a lot of atmosphere with local furniture and decoration, the staff was friendly, breakfast was excellent and location fantastic. Maybe even too much !!! in the sense that it is not easy to find it the first time. It is right in the center of the Medina in a quite and little road. I suggest to park just outside the Wall ( on the big square, opposite the seaside ) and call the Riad. Or from the square/parking : facing Bab ( porta ) Marrakech, 200 mtrs on your right there is a smaller Bab ( porta ) only for pedestrians or bikes. Enter it and turn immediately left, walk along the wall and first small alley on right. Keep going until you find it.
Inshallah !!!

“We loved this place!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

This was the nicest place we stayed in Morocco. Beautiful rooms, traditionally decorated. Great breakfast. Easy to get to from your car, because it is close to the back wall of the medina. But it is a bit of a walk to get to the beach, but really worth it! Loved it, loved it!

“Quite pricey for what you get”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

This is a riad hidden away in the walls of the medina. The service from the local staff was excellent however the owners were showing around buyers for the riad and were not hospitable as they should have been. This didn't mirror their marketing detail. The riad is in a tight alley within labrynthine network of other alleyways. Somewhat threatening and noisy, especially due to the gangs of locals and loud hammering of building works right next to the riad. Room was unusual with old traditional doors with bolt and padlock set-up? Heater provided in the room. Usual minimal hot water and hitting musty smells (certainly la maison du vent) from the adjoining bathroom/toilet although did have a B-Day. Not as eco, green and sustainable as made out to be in the marketing detail. Would have expected to have paid half the price for this experience. Didn't have best feeling here. The rooms all had Santa Claus teddies on each door though...lovely touch?

“Beautiful Riad with wonderful, welcoming, sweet staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2010

Spent two wonderful nights at La Maison Du Vent in Essaouira. The rooms are charming, the breakfast is delicious (and fresh) and the ladies who run the place are so sweet. The view from the roof top is spectacular - spend time up there and enjoy soak it in!
Bring your ear plugs though, the kids outside at night can be a bit noisy.

Located centrally in the medina, arrived to a warm reception with nice mint tea. The woman who runs the place was very helpful in recommending places to eat, visit etc. Breakfast delicious. Very charming rooms, beautiful decor, especially in the bathroom.
All round, a wonderful place, clean, friendly, helpful, welcoming.
Also has wifi.
