The place was NOT at the location given by FEWO nor at the place shown on the map of FEWO: The place is located 8 km from the Medina of Essaouira and 5 km from the beach (not 500m), it is just at the outskirts of Ghazoua) They picked us up but did not offer transfer during our stay. They charged 2 Euros per person for the pick up, taxi is 1 Euro per person. The rooms were dark, air condition did not work, water stayed in the shower and many ants were walking through the room. Toilet paper had to be collected in a garbage can which we emptied ourselves after 3 days. Pool and garden are nice. Two of us were invited once to join their lunch. When picking up a family member they offered to take us along to the next money machine (~ 1km). This seemed friendly but at the end of the stay they charged 4 Euros for the ride to the money machine. When we wanted to leave the owner wanted more money than on the FeWo bill. The bill contained an amount for taxes which we of course paid. The owner claimed that the taxes were higher in August and we therefore should pay more than on the bill. However, the taxes per person and day on the FeWo-bill agreed exactly with the taxes we paid at all other locations in Marocco in August, including Essaouira where we stayed at a different location. This was not a nice experience and we felt cheated especially by the wrong information on the location. I would not have chosen a place so far away from the center of Essaouira. Never again.

A perfect rustic escape. Thierry and Hakima are both super chill. They make you feel as if you are at your own home. Thierry did me a huge favor and picked me up tickets for the festival when they were no longer available online. Khadijah, who helps with breakfast was fantastic. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
