Medina

Built at the end of the 18th century, it is the historic heart of the city and the main center of activity with the port. Surrounded by a Vauban-style wall, the Medina is protected by fortifications where the European style blends harmoniously with the Arab-Muslim style. The Sqala de la Kasbah is an example accessible and open to the public of these fortifications where the walls are still under attack from the ocean. Inside, the maze of alleys divides the districts and the various souks. Fairly organized despite everything, the souk offers all types of products. Clothing rubs shoulders with spices, necklaces, bracelets and other items follow olives and other fruits and vegetables. There are many restaurants where the fresh fish caught in the morning is cooked for lunch or dinner. Many other typical dishes are also offered and it is good to stop on a terrace, in the refreshing shade of the trees. The Medina was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.

our opinion

This traditional dar of 48 m² on the ground develops a total living area of approximately 128 m². Very easy to access, it is located in an alley known and appreciated by Souiris and tourists.

Completely renovated and decorated by an interior designer, it benefits from openings on two facades, making it very bright.

The house has four levels:

On the ground floor: an entrance hall houses a dining room, a bathroom with WC, a kitchen and a living room transformed into a bedroom, a guest WC.
On the first floor: a suite with its bathroom and toilet, a dressing room.
On the second floor: a living space bathed in light including a very cozy living room with fireplace, a toilet, a kitchenette area hidden by cupboard doors, a standing dining room/office area.
On the top floor: a terrace with a lounge under one and access to the upper solarium with a view of the ocean and the roofs of the Medina.

The finishes: it is a mixture of cement tiles, bejmat, woodwork and tadelakt, thus accentuating a soft and cozy atmosphere in the home.

The decoration is refined. The pendant lights, a coupling of modernity and Moroccan art, highlight the different ornamental plants, paintings by Essaouira artists and colonial, Moroccan or contemporary style furniture, a real seductive melting pot.
