Essaouira was easily the most relaxing part of our holiday. The accommodation was a lovely place to stay for a few days and Paolo, Hakin and Naima looked after us very well.

Arriving at the accommodation and watching the sun set over the medina from the terrace. Stumbling through the holiday in broken French (although most Moroccans speak several languages). Exploring the souks and markets. Eating the most amazing
Moroccan food (personal favourite: kefta et oeuf tajine).
