Home description
Dar Zette is a house in the heart of the bustling medina, yet once inside the house, the atmosphere is one of complete calm and tranquility with the added advantage of a large pretty courtyard complete with olive tree and fountain. Perfectly situated for the busy souks selling spices, carpets, jewelled slippers &Thuya wood boxes with cafes and restaurants nearby and the wide sandy beach of Essaouira only a minute away. Surrounding the open courtyard on two sides, the house offers light and peace. The wide folding doors of the salon allow the ground floor rooms and courtyard to become as one – wonderful by candlelight in the evening. Built on 4 floors, the house allows much privacy for reading and sunbathing. Kilim covered armchairs, hand-painted furniture, old chandeliers and antique rugs throughout, Dar Zette has it all. .

The Atlantic Coastal Plain region
The climate is semi-tropical staying warm and balmy throughout the winter and a constant breeze prevents the temperature from being unbearably hot in the summer.
Essaouira / Ancient Medina area
Essaouira offers something for everyone. The beach is stunningly wide and is so long that you can walk along it for most of a day. The shore is a magnet for kite surfers from around the world and indeed the world championships are hels here. The medina itself is a UNESCO world heritage listed city. Essaouira has a relaxed laid-back atmosphere where you can enjoy the hubub of the souk, the bustle of the busy port with its fish market, the romance of a walk along the ramparts at sunset or exploring the streets and hidden passageways of this special town.
