La Villa DUCASSE was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our two-week journey through Morocco. A beautiful, design-led countryside retreat just 20 minutes from Essaouira, offering something genuinely special.
Owners Bruno and Tamara are at the heart of the experience. Warm, welcoming and passionate about hospitality, they've created somewhere that feels incredibly personal. Every detail is thoughtful and intentional.
The property is stunning, with beautifully landscaped gardens, an incredible pool, gorgeous Moroccan tiles, locally sourced textiles and exceptional furnishings. The interiors tell a story, reflecting both Moroccan craftsmanship and the owners' journey here. The quality throughout is outstanding.
For animal lovers, the resident dogs, cats, tortoises, donkeys and other much-loved animals are an absolute joy!
Homemade breakfasts are plentiful and delicious, while optional dinners offer a lovely opportunity to meet fellow guests. The atmosphere is relaxed, intimate and unpretentious, with plenty of privacy when wanted.
Bruno and Tamara also arranged excellent-value car hire for us, making exploring Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki effortless. Wi-Fi was excellent too.
Ultimately, beautiful surroundings are one thing, but genuinely exceptional hospitality is another. Bruno and Tamara have achieved both. Their warmth, attention to detail and desire to make guests happy are woven into everything.
A truly special place we'd return to without hesitation.
