With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio and a swimming pool. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

We absolutely loved our stay. The Villa is even more gorgeous than the photos. Nadia has such incredible style and has designed the interior and garden beautifully. The whole team are a delight (Nadia, Pierre, Samira, Sadia and others) and we felt so well cared for, it felt like 5 star accommodation. The food is totally delicious and we enjoyed our meals in even more than the restaurants in Essouria. Breakfast was perfect and each day a little different. We also really appreciated the efforts put into making the dining table look so beautiful each evening. Afternoon tea was lovely too - and again, each day a little different. I can't recommend this villa highly enough. It was very hard to leave - even after 10 nights! Heartfelt thanks to Nadia, Pierre and all the team for your impeccable hospitality - you've created a little piece of paradise that we can't wait to return to already

    Great location right in the middle of the Medina but very quiet (I was there during Ramadan so it was perhaps quieter than usual). Spacious room, nice and clean. Traditional style of building, very charming. Lots of German and French retirees :)

    Super quiet and cozy place, located 30 minutes walk from city center. Host is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for someone who is looking to work, they have everything you need: nice coworking room and fast, by local standards, wi-fi. I would say that it is not the place if you are looking for endless parties at rooftops during moroccan nights, but it is great in sense Kamal(host) developing it: for people how want combine work / leisure.

    We really liked the accommodation, great location just a few steps from busy shops and restaurants, yet a very quiet place. Close to the sea and the port. Simo is a fantastic host, he was waiting for us by the bus and escorted us to the riad. He was very helpful all the time, he advised us good local restaurants and helped with printing the boarding pass.

    We were at Chems Bleu for only one night but wish to be more. Great location, welcoming host, delicious breakfast and good comfortable bed. The best guesthouse we were at during our 10-days journey in Morocco.

    Thus beautifully done out guest house has the most incredible chilled out vibe. The terrace overlooks the surf so you can keep an eye out for the swell and is perfect for a spot of yoga or just chilling watching the sunrise and sunset. It is set in a quiet, rural village and although I would recommend having a car, there were lovely walks to explore the dunes, beaches and landscapes. Food is delicious and hosts friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend.
