Three minutes from the souks and five minutes from Essaouira’s beach and fishing port is Dar Rondé, a riad townhouse with rounded walls, Berber doorways, vibrantly coloured stone floors and fireplaces set deep in to soaring white walls. Designed by Maria Pergay, the house is spread over three floors with two large en-suite bedrooms, one kingsize, one twin, two secluded terraces and a stylish sauna on the top floor. A flowering garden fills the tiled courtyard circled by glass walls, a library with traditional beldi ceiling and a salon with long sofas and spacious dining area.

Essaouira is world renowned for its arts and Gnawa music. Its 200-year-old medina is a maze of arches and alleyways interspersed with piazzas and café-lined streets.
Fruit, vegetables, meats, spices and fish fill the souks, while a vast range of little stores sell china and antiques.
Outside the city walls is a lively port where fresh fish is caught daily. The sea offers one of the world’s best spots for windsurfing. Enchanting Essaouira and its surrounding countryside often doubles up as a film set recently playing host to Oliver Stone’s Alexander and Ridley Scott’s King of Heaven. |

Guestbook: 'Starting off at Dar Ronde was the best thing we could have done. Everything, I mean every little detail was spectacularly wonderful! Milouda was a pleasure to be with and she made us very fat! Seriously, we have rented many houses in different countries and never had such a wonderful experience. The Dar Ronde book and map were invaluable. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. You've really thought of everything. I can't imagine any improvements!' ..............Mary Lynn O'Neill, September
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dar-Ronde. It's decorated so beautifully and very comfortable and it felt like home from home (although I wish my home was as lovely!). I loved looking at the town from the top roof terrace watching the sun go down and enjoying a drink in the warmth .We also spent a couple of relaxing evenings at home with a great supper cooked by Milouda - thank you!........Ella Truscott |
