In the old medina of Essaouira (Mogador), close to the ramparts and to the souks, you will find the Riad SALTANA with one of the most beautiful terraces with panoramic ocean view. The riad is a charming old house, with double and triple rooms. You can also enjoy another terrace sheltered from the wind on an intermediate floor. You will find the architecture of traditional Moroccan houses in Moorish style, Greco Roman columns and arches with exposed stone, but also all the comfort for a nice stay. All rooms have a private bathroom. You can enjoy your breakfast or meals on either of the two terraces. Free WIFI on the ground floor.
Geraldine gets you in this riad entirely refurbished in May 2015 according to European quality standards, riad with a great location for those who want to reside quietly in the heart of the city.
The riad is located in a quiet street and yet in the heart of shopping and restaurants, not far from the beautiful promenade on the ramparts where you can admire the ancient canons, and close to the Museum of Essaouira.
