Villa Gonatouki manages to combine a friendly, easygoing atmosphere and a wonderful quirkiness with beautiful decor, luxury and excellent service. The owners and their staff were wonderful hosts, attentive without being overbearing. We felt like house guests in a very unique holiday home.

This is more like a large guest house than a hotel. Bruno and his staff provide friendly personal attention, and you are living in a house he built for his own family. It's excellent for a quiet family holiday, or for groups doing yoga, meditation etc. But it is isolated, so not suitable if you mainly want to visit the town or the beaches, unless you have your own transport (though taxis are available).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Everything was lovingly managed at the villa, from Bruno’s construction of the building five years ago to the selection and training of his staff, quality of breakfasts with home made Moroccan breads, design, location and maintenance of swimming pools, amd the hammam and the first rate massages, it’s very casual and fairly priced. Having a rental car made its somewhat remote location easier, and being a small distance from Essaouira perfect.

Peaceful Paradise
Bruno was a lovely and very helpful host and the Villa had a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Ideal for people wanting accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of Essaouira.
