Romantic stylish riad with two fabulous terraces | House in Essaouira
3 Bedroom House in Bani Antar, Essaouira
Welcome to our romantic, stylish 3-bed artist's house in the magical old medina of Essaouira on the dreamy Atlantic Coast of Morocco.
An elegant and romantic artist's retreat with two plant-filled roof terraces. The house offers true seclusion; tucked away on a quiet cul de sac in the medina, yet just a minute's walk from the arts, crafts & cafés of the magical pedestrianised souk (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Two of our three artful bedrooms are on a pretty airy landing with shared bathroom. The third bedroom is to be found in the self-contained roof-top apartment with second kitchen and en suite. All bedrooms have romantic bed canopies and John Lewis bed linen.
Downstairs is an elegant salon where you can enjoy the sunlight that fills the central atrium. This has a lovely fireplace for cosy evenings. Through an archway you will find the dramatic dining room with 9ft long table and soft lighting. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, oven, and all mod cons to whip up that Moroccan meal - or use our bespoke restaurant service to deliver a traditional meal whenever you wish it. After dinner, you can curl up in the sumptuous back-lit Moroccan seating area and read a book, play a board game or enjoy a film on the widescreen TV.
During your stay, you will be able to use monogrammed Dar Azrak grey towelling bathrobes and bath towels.
As with most traditional houses (dars) and riads in the old medinas of Morocco, the light and fresh air you will experience when staying at The Azure House comes from a central atrium linking all three floors of the house. Sunshine and cooling breezes waft down through the vertical open heart of the house, from the two interlinked terraces on the roof. Doors and windows in the main house open on to the first floor landing, where pretty vintage shutters and antique lace curtains provide privacy.
The Azure House (‘Dar Azrak’ in Arabic) is an exquisite showcase of high-quality Moroccan craftsmanship including such finishes as:
• Tadelakt - the beautiful, labour-intensive polished plaster that adorns the lower living area and bathroom
• 'Bejmat' terracotta tiles laid in attractive herringbone style on the ground floor.
• Zellige - the intricate mosaics that decorate the kitchen and master bathroom.
• A 'sedari' - a Moroccan seating area where you can while away an idle hour or five, reading or watching TV.
There is also a well inside the house - see if you can find it. All the houses in the 18th century medina of Essaouira traditionally drew their water from private internal wells. But today there is lashings of hot and cold water.
Children are more than welcome to stay. In fact, this is a magical, fairytale house for children. Morocco is a wonderful place to travel with a family, and the books and games you will find in the house reflect this warm child-friendly culture.
