Villa de l'Ô

Upon our arrival at Villa De L'Ô, we were warmly greeted by Nouredino, whose friendliness and helpfulness set a welcoming tone for our stay. Over the course of five days, we found the highlight of our experience to be the exceptional service provided by the entire team. The hotel is at a prime location, just a few minutes' walk from both the main shopping areas and the beach. Included in our stay, the breakfast was plentiful, ensuring a great start to our day. The rooftop area was fantastic, providing panoramic views of the sea. The bedrooms at Villa De L'Ô offered comfort and a good night's sleep after days filled with activities. It's important to note that while Villa De L'Ô provides a lovely experience, it is not a high-end five-star establishment. Some imperfections are present, but they do not detract from the overall quality and charm of the stay.

At first glance the Villa de L'Ô is everything you would want from an ancient Riad set just inside the walled city of Essaouira. An old mercantile trading house with an inner courtyard, stone colonnades, and two levels of bedrooms. Light filters through the atrium roof to the courtyard below, bringing alive a byegone era of sepia tones, comfy chairs, sumptuous drapes and well worn tomes. It is a shame that the existing staff of Noureddine, Ishmael and Naima who offer guests a warm welcome, excellent breakfasts, and well kept bedrooms are not complimented by the benign neglect the owners Unik Palais Charme Hotels have allowed this hotel to fall into. À première vue, la Villa de L'Ô est tout ce que vous attendez d'un ancien Riad situé juste à l'intérieur de la ville fortifiée d'Essaouira. Une ancienne maison de négoce marchande avec une cour intérieure, des colonnades en pierre et deux niveaux de chambres. La lumière filtre à travers le toit de l'atrium jusqu'à la cour en contrebas, faisant revivre une époque révolue de tons sépia, de fauteuils confortables, de somptueux rideaux et de tomes bien usés. Il est dommage que le personnel existant de Noureddine, Ishmael et Naima qui offrent aux clients un accueil chaleureux, d'excellents petits déjeuners et des chambres bien entretenues ne soit pas complété par la négligence bénigne dans laquelle les propriétaires Unik Palais Charme Hotels ont laissé tomber cet hôtel.
