We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Riad Rafeef! The Riad is even more beautiful than in the photos, and we particularly enjoyed spending time on the terrace. Khadija and the staff were so friendly, kind and helpful, and all worked incredibly hard to make sure every guest's stay was just right. We loved the delicious breakfasts and dinner, and enjoyed some pampering spa treatments. We would highly recommend staying here; the location was perfect to enjoy Essaouira, the rooms were comfortable, clean and intricately decorated. We hope to visit again soon!

Riad Rafeef is a very interesting riad, and the decoration was cool to see. The management had put in a few years to renovate the place and you can definitely see the effort and thought put into the design. As with all of our stays in Morocco, the staff here was exceptional and very helpful. I am very grateful to the staff and the gentleman who had welcomed us, answered all questions throughout the stay, and helped us with our heavy luggage (sorry!).
