Benefiting from an exceptional position close to the port, this house of character offers authenticity, elegance and comfort in the noblest district of the city of Essaouira.
An ancient house dating the second half of the 19th century, the Palazzo Desdemona was restored while preserving the history and the traditional Moroccan decoration. Unlike a typical riad which is a traditionally closed design, the particular architecture of the Palazzo opens this one up to the light from the outside, and the sight of the city and the ocean.
The privileged location of the house, as well as the thickness of its hundred-years-old walls, assure you an exceptional peaceful stay.
Numerous activities are available including desert trips in a 4x4, surfing and kite surfing lessons and an introduction to scuba diving.
Hotel informationYou will appreciate the vast and spacious lounge, 2 brilliant patios distributed on two floors and a roof terrace where you can relax while overlooking the ocean.
