I had a fantastic stay - the manager was so kind and helpful and the location was fantastic. I worked from the central area 2 of the days I was there, and the wifi worked really well. Also, as a solo traveler it was a good place to meet people. Highly recommend!

A perfect stay in the heart of Essaouira I can't recommend this riad highly enough. Tucked away in the medina yet peaceful and calm, it offered the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and authentic Moroccan hospitality. Every detail was thoughtfully designed — from the beautifully decorated rooms to the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the sea and city. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. We felt not like guests, but like part of a family. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: fresh fruit, warm msemen, homemade jams, and mint tea served with a smile. The location is ideal — a short walk to the beach, the port, the souks, and all the best restaurants and cafés. Yet once inside the riad, it feels like a tranquil oasis away from the bustle. We’ve stayed in many places across Morocco, but this riad truly stands out for its atmosphere, warmth, and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back.

Our stay at Riad Titima was wonderful! We would happily recommend Riad Titima to anyone looking for a comfortable, friendly, warm and qualitative place to stay just outside of Essaouira. The Riad itself is beautiful, with a pool and very well-kept garden full of hibiscus and olive trees (and a turtle!). The rooms were spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Good shower with plenty of hot water and a proper baby bed for our daughter! Also, your babyfoon will have reception in the dining area, which is nice. Daniel was a very gracious and attentive host, with an eye for details and good tips for different fun restaurants and activities. Amina is a wonderful cook, both the breakfast and the (3 course!) dinners were excellent and plentiful. Zakaria and Fatima were very attentive and kind. Our daughter took a great liking to Fatima and she was super sweet to her! In short, it felt like home, only way better. We hope to return soon and wish everyone at Riad Titima the very best.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
