So peaceful

Posted 18 Mar 2018
Its a little bit further out of Essaouira, but not too far too explore. I had the best time, it's so quiet and Nadine and Franck made me very welcome (and Radhija with her excellent nibbles). If you want a quiet break somewhere beautiful, I very much recommend

Beautiful, relaxing hotel

Posted 29 Nov 2016
Pros: The house hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They provided exquisite 3 course food and the rooms were comfortable authentically decorated
Cons: Nothing
Location: The hotel is about a 20 minute car journey from Essaouria, would recommend hiring a car and the camel ride in Diabat ranch.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Dar Sahil. The hotel interior is beautifully decorated and very well kept. Stephanie and Laurent were perfect hosts and made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed many amazing meals cooked by Laurent and Stephanie. This hotel is a peaceful relaxing retreat which I would recommend to anyone!

"Fabulous tranquil haven"

Posted 18 Nov 2016
Pros: Stephanie and Laurent are the most fantastic hosts making us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our stay.
We stayed at Dar Sahil for a week and had the most enjoyable relaxing time. Laurent picked us up and took us back to Essaouira airport which is only 10 minutes away. Despite being so close we weren't bothered by air traffic noise at all during our stay. We would still recommend this hotel if flying into Marrakech as the road between Essaouira and Marrakech is a very good standard and would be a very easy journey. We ate dinner several times at Dar Sahil and each time was different, made to an incredible high standard and a delicious treat. In fact in our opinion the meals we had at Dar Sahil exceeded those we had in restaurants (which were also very good standard). Stephanie and Laurent both obviously enjoy and find pleasure in cooking and this definitely comes across. We cannot recommend the food enough. Breakfasts were also really good with many home-made preserves made by Stephanie. The breakfast set us up for the day and we didn't need to eat again until the evening. Our room was very comfortable, cleaned every day to a high standard with a big comfy bed. We also had our own private seating area outside the room with outside table and chairs.. We can't express enough how relaxing and peaceful we found Dar Sahil, it was perfect! We are already looking to return in the future. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay with a lovely couple

Posted 18 Apr 2016 on Hotels
My wife and I and our little two and a half year old daughter had a fantastic stay with Laurent and Stefanie last week. It's clear that they adore children and they made it a magical experience for all of us. Their home is immaculate and one of the most beautiful we have ever stayed in. The sheer tranquility was the perfect antidote to our previous visit to madcap Marrakech. Wonderful memories include our daughter playing hide and seek around the beautiful and extensive grounds, her becoming obsessed with their 'Turbo Cochon' board game, giggling and dabbling her toes in the swimming pool and jumping around on the outdoor bed. Stefanie made some delicious and healthy food for her which she wolfed down. Once she was in bed, we were able to relax and watch swallows diving and swirling around the pool in the dusk with tasty homemade nibbles that our hosts had created. I recommend eating at Dar Sahil, as they are incredible chefs and concocted a range of different meals, such as whole wolf fish, fish tagine and lamb skewers. All the fish was purchased that day by Laurent at the Essaouira fish markets. We were incredibly sad to leave and our daughter got a big hug off Stefanie. She still talks about the stay! We'll definitely return for another visit.

Lovely hotel with kind friendly owners

Posted 5 Jul 2015
We had a brilliant week at Dar Sahil, lovely owners, beautiful hotel, amazing pool and the food they cooked in the evenings was DELICIOUS! The whole experience was incredibly relaxing. Definitely would advise staying here if you are heading to Essaouira, little tip - if at all possible definitely rent a car, it's cheap and easy to do when you arrive and makes the whole experience much easier. The local taxis struggle to find the hotel.

accueil excellent

Posted 12 Feb 2018
Pros: L'accueil, les chambres, les espaces communs, le jardin.
Les nouveaux propriétaires et leur personnel ont à cœur de satisfaire les clients et ils y réussissent à la perfection. Les repas sont excellents, les chambres très propres et il ne manque rien. Bravo
