Douar des Oliviers | House in Ounagha, Marrakech-Safi

“A warm welcome and a lovely quiet location. Super clean and had everything we needed for our stay”

“The main reason for us to chose this hotel was the free parking and because we wanted to stay the night close to Essaouira. This was a great choice because this traditional hotel was a perfect place to relax a bit, the host and staff were very friendly, the room was in good condition, and it was relatively close to the city (by car). The hotel has a swimming pool but unfortunately, during this time of year (May) it was not ready for utilization (water was dirty). Of note, our room did not had any A/C; no problem because it was not that hot (probably due the proximity of the ocean). However, I imagine it might be less comfortable in the peak of the summer. The included breakfast was very decent.”

“A superb place to relax and unwind from city life. Extremely warm welcome and excellent service throughout our stay. Aicha and Nordin go above and beyond. Highly recommend this place”

“perfect in every way and many thanks accomodation very clean , pictu”

“Me and my wife stayed in this hotel. The hotel is clean, very friendly staff. The staff has converted their farmhouse into a hotel. There is a swimming pool and the breakfast is served near the pool. The garden is huge and is pet friendly. They themselves have a couple of cats, peacock and peahens. Very peaceful, free and ample space for parking, are some of the highlights. Very near to Essaouria. Would definitely recommend this hotel. ”

“The staff was helpful, kind and great with children. Loved it. It's a beautiful place. ”

“Warm, cosy and amazing hosts. The setting is picturesque, overlooking olive trees, gently swaying in the Essaouiran wind. The food there is incredible, authentic and rustic (most vegetables sourced from the garden!) They were sure to take care of me and welcome me in with open arms. Will definitely be back again! ”

“The owners, Nordeen and Aisha, made us feel like family from the start. They gave us complimentary sandwhiches and tea and joined us for the two breakfasts at the side of the large pool. The room was very ample, well heated and had non stop hot water. Though the botigue hotel is 15 km. from the center of Essaouria, it is served by a good bus company and taxis. At the end the owner took us to the city to catch our bus. The day before we drove into town together as a courtesy and to meet a retired friend who had taught English. The breakfast was basic and could benefit from an egg, cereal, fruit and milk. Too much bread! The hotel, with many common areas and gardens makes a great impression. We would definitely return to explore the historic city and surroundings further. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“My daughter, sister and I had a really lovely and relaxing stay here. We felt welcomed and at home immediately. The pool was outstanding as it was hot. Even staying out a bit from the city was no problem, bus and taxis are cheap and easy to access. Loved it and would recommend this stay to others.”

“Here you can relax and unwind. It's an oasis of calm. We made full use of the swimming pool and the hosts were absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will stay there again when we visit Essaouira. You can look forward to personal service and a wonderful stay. ”
