Extremely friendly and accommodating. Bruno offered us to check out anytime we want and arranged a fishing trip on the spot with his caretaker Mostafa. The road is dirt road for 2 Km otherwise excellent experience

It was a great pleasure to welcome you and your wonderful family. 20 years ago,they told me here that they will make the road in October. But they didn't say which year! But 2 days ago they inaugurated the beginning of the works. We wait…the end.
Mostafa was happy to go and fish with you. Like all the team he his happy when our guests are happy.
We hope to see you again here or in Detroit.
Kind Regards

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).

Thank you very much for your nice review. Yes we are very happy to welcome families, groups and couples who want to have a romantical time. We are exactly 15 mn/car from Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki, we are just in the middle.
You are welcome when you want because it was such a pleasure to meet you

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
Posted 6 Nov 2018 on HotelsBruno 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.

Thank you very much Terry for your very kind review. It was a pleasure to welcome you always positive and smiling. Yes there are good vibes here and that's a wonderful place to be relax, to visit around Essaouira and to go to the medina. We'll be happy to see you another time and in any case I will go to Shanghai and contact you.
All the best for the future!
