Fabulous Riad with very welcoming hosts, who made

From the onset, Riad El Paco has been fantastic. I love the location, the room and the service. I cannot fault Lara and Giovanni - such wonderful hosts! They helped us have a glorious time. We were there for just 4 days, and would easily go back just to stay here. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Disliked: Room comfort

Buena relación calidad-precio.

Estuvimos en el hotel una noche, las instalaciones son correctas aunque la habitación no reflejaba la foto vista en la web. Lo más incómodo fue la puert del baño, no cerrada por completo que impedia tener intimidad dentro de el.

En perle i Essaouira!

Dar El Paco er en lille perle i Essaouira. Da vi kom ind i værelset Bleu Azur var alt virkelig...Blåt. Og eventyrligt. Madrassen var dejlig fast og lang nok til mig på 2 meter. Beliggenheden er ideel for udforskning af de små stræder i medinaen. Og værten Giovanni er en meget venlig og hjælpsom mand. Morgenmaden var god og rigelig, fantastisk velsmagende appelsinjuice!Vi kunne dog godt have brugt en omelet eller et æg for variationens skyld. Alt i alt fantastisk "value for money".Og så var byen Essaouira et dejlig afslappet ophold i forhold til Marrakech. Det var en ferie, jeg ikke ville hjem fra!Vi fortrød at vi ikke tog imod et tilbud om en massage af stedets massør Waffa.

Little gem hidden amongst the meandering alleys...

The owner Giovanni was very accommodating and had time for his guests. Waffah his assistant was ever so helpful and always wear a lovely smile. Albeit slightly tricky to find, it's situated at a great location (considering where some other Riads were)! Breakfast was lovely and the hotel had character! The deco was thoughtful and exudes a homely feeling. Loved it and have no hesitation to return again.

Riad coqueta en el Centro de Essaouira

Riad pequeña y coqueta en el centro de Essaouira, ideal para pocos días. Los dueños italianos muy amables, hablan español muy bien. La habitación no era grande pero tenía muchos detalles y era acogedora. El baño algo pequeño y estaban haciendo algún arreglo. El desayuno excelente y el trato muy bueno. Muy buen precio para una noche. Pago en euros o dirhams, el tema de pago con tarjeta no les compensa y prefieren no hacerlo.

un cauchemar

sur notre sejour nous avons vu que la porte d'entrée , aussitot on nous a enmené dans un autre ryad qui devait etre equivalent la chambre que nous avons payé 29€ nous sommes allez virifier sur le site l'autre ryad affiche une chambre a 21€ donc nous avons deja perdu 8€, ce qui n'est pas castrophique mais pas normal ! Sur le ryad ou nous avons sejourné que dire ! A part que c'est notre pire souvenir du maroc, drap et serviettes tous dechiré, je n'ai meme pas voulu prendre de douche il y avait un filet gluant qui pendait au pommeau de douche et bien sur la litterie etait dur comme du bois donc nous avons passé une nuit quasiement blanche. Et je vais passer les details. Donc dar el paco n'est vraiment pas une adresse que je recommande si vous ne voulais pas avoir de surprise. C'est vraiment dommage parce que nous avons visités beaucoup de villes au Maroc et Essaouira reste notre coup de coeur heuresement nous avions reservé que pour une nuit donc on a pu passer notre deuxieme nuit dans un autre ryad ....

The hotel is in a great location. Some really nice food just outside the hotel. Shame about my room Blue Azur as it was at the top the stairs and had a lot of climbing to do. not ideal if you have children or OAPs
