We thoroughly enjoyed being able to experience a lovely Riad in a quiet neighborhood which was also quite accessible to the Medina. Mostapha could not have been more helpful. So willing with a great smile on his face to help us with logistics, organizing tours and giving very helpful advice. Zakia is a wonderful cook and we thoroughly enjoyed our authentic Moroccan dishes for breakfast and dinner. Everyone we interacted with were absolute all stars and would gladly stay again!

The riad is central and beautiful. Khadja is such a great cook we ate all our dinners at home, and Mostapha is very helpful and charming. Our whole experience was OUTSTANDING!!!

What made this property really special was Zakia (wonderful cook) and Mostapha (property manager). Both were friendly, helpful - couldn't do enough for us. Riad is well appointed (lots of stairs), clean and comfortable. Location in the Medina within easy walking distance of souks, and attractions. Highly recommended.

Communication was great - prompt replies. I messed up my arrival time and they were quick to accomdate. Moustapha was wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Zahia is a sweet lady and an amazing cook. The location was good - we could walk to everything. Cabs are easily accessible on the corner if you needed it. I would definitely recommend!

Philippe, what a wonderful trip. My wife had a fantastic 60th birthday with the help of Khadija’s wonderful dinner. What a treasure she is. Mostafa was so attentive and helpful. You have a wonderful staff and we are looking forward to our next stay. Kind regards, Steve

We - two families with a bunch of teenagers - stayed at this wonderful Riad for the second time already. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The eating room is a bit small but it's not a real problem. The view from the roof terrace over the city and to the snow covered mountains of the High Atlas is just great. The service of Mostopha, who is really a sympathetic guy was very helpful. We enjoyed the cooking, breakfast service and kindness of Zakia. She was even able to provide nongluten food. From the Riad to the Djemna-al-Fna it's a twenty minute walk through the winding streets of the medina.

We have had a Wonderful stay at the Riad. It is in a great location and the building itself inside is absolutely gorgeous. Everything has been designed to reflect the Morrocan artisan style. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.Booking and communication with Philippe the owner was excellent. However the best part of Riad Essattatia is the housekeeper Khadija. She is an absolute treasure. She utterly spoiled us and the children. She has a wonderfully sense of humour and we wish we had her company all the time. Mustapha went out of his way to get us there and make us feel safe and settled. He is such a asset to the Riad also. We would love to return and would thoroughly recommend the Riad for families with children. Thank you Khadija, Mustapha and Phillipe

10/10

Our family of 4 adults & 2 children ages 2 & 4 had a wonderful stay at Dar Essattatia. The owner, Philippe, was responsive to all our questions & helpful with all the information we needed. The Riad was comfortable and the many rooms had lovely touches. It's located on a quiet street in the Bab Taghzout neighborhood in the Medina w/ easy access to taxis. The souks are an easy walk & so is the Jema el Fna. The manager, Mostapha, met us at the airport & took us to the riad. He was a valuable source of information & suggestions & greeted us every morning to help w/ any arrangements we needed. Khadijah prepared our delicious breakfasts & on request served us fantastic dinners. She shopped for fresh foods each day & spent hours preparing these traditional Moroccan meals. She also took care of all the housekeeping duties & kept the riad spotless. Both she & Mostapha were great w/ the children & we all felt like we made two new friends. We would highly recommend this riad for a great Marrakech experience.

De la réservation et jusqu'àu départ du RIAD, nous avons été surpris de la qualité des contacts, des conseils apportés en amont du séjour, de l'excellente qualité du RIAD conforme en tous points à la description sur Abritel et surtout de l'accueil, de l'accompagnement de Mustapha et la cuisine parfaite de Zakia. Ce qui nous a permis de vivre un vrai séjour détendu entre amis dans l'ambiance de Marrakech.

Nous avons passé 3 jours formidables à Dar Essattatia, la situation géographique est idéale dans la médina, dans un quartier très sympa, permettant de faire de nombreuses visites et l'ensemble des souks à pied. Les meilleures épices sont vendues chez Saïd à 20m du Riad, juste incroyables et bien moins chères que dans le souk. Mostapha a fait en sorte de nous renseigner sur nos excursions, vraiment aux petits soins.. La cuisine de Zakia était délicieuse, tout était parfait! Nous n'avons pas eu le temps de profiter du spa mais les fins de soirée sur la terrasse étaient très agréables avec de jolies lumières, nous avons vraiment passé un très bon séjour et recommandons totalement ce Riad. Félicie et Laurent

Accueil très chaleureux et très professionnel de Mostapha, sur lequel on peut compter à tous moments. Notre cuisinière Zakia est adorable et un vrai cordon bleu. On est bien dans ce riad au calme où l'on se sent comme chez soi. De plus, la décoration est typique. Malgré les soirées et matinées assez froides, nous avons toujours eu chaud dans les chambres et les salons. La terrasse est très agréable et le jaccuzi a fait le bonheur des enfants. Une excellente adresse, et des partenaires sérieux, pour un séjour très agréable sans mauvaises surprises.

Lovely property - Mostapha and Zekia ( manager & cook) we’re fabulous- took care of our every need- a convenient location in that the taxi could drive into Medina and the a short walk to the Riad. The food provided was plentiful and they dealt with all my food allergies so I could have proper nutrition. We all loved it here !!

Les service de ce Riad est top. Bonne communication.. On vient vous chercher à l'aéroport. Khadija est une cuisinière excellente, je vous conseille de manger a la manger (plusieurs fois). Enplacelent idéal. Mostapha est toujours la pour nous conseiller et nous guider et aussi réserver des trux à faire. Je vous conseille vraiment. Jacuzzi pas de trop. Riad très beau. Chambre impeccable. Petite humidité mais des que c'est ouvert c'est bon.

We stayed 6 nights and found the property to be comfortable and well located for visiting different sites in Marrakesh. Nice amenities such as a rooftop terrace for catching the sunset and relaxing before dinner. The staff, Mostapha and Khadija, are very personable and helpful. It was great to feel like there was always someone there to assist us. Mostapha helped us arrange reservations and transport. Khadija is a wonderful cook with a welcoming personality. We enjoyed talking with them both. It all made for a great week in Marrakesh!

10/10

Mustapha et Khadija ont été aux petits soins avec nous de l'accueil jusqu'à notre départ. Le cadre idyllique de Dar Essatatia, les chambres, les Sdb ainsi que la somptueuse terrasse, tout ceci dans un calme apaisant. Nous recommandons chaleureusement la Dar Essatatia pour un périple à Marrakech! Sans oublier les talents de cuisinière, la gentillesse de Khadija, qui plus qu'une hôte est devenue une amie. Merci à Mustapha pour ses conseils avisés et son efficacité! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Dans l'ensemble le riad est plutôt sympa mais la présence permanente de la gouvernante impose trop de contrainte. Elle ne dispose ni de chambre ni de salle de bain ni de piece de vie. Elle est donc en permanence dans les pieces qui sont censées être à disposition. Sa chambre c'est le salon ! donc inaccessible la nuit (il ne faut pas oublier de prendre sa bouteille d'eau car le réfrigérateur s'y trouve). Nous vous deconseillons également de prendre les petits dejeuner si vous etes matinaux. Sur 7 petits dejeuner aucun n'a été servis avant 9h. Malgré nos demandes (nous avons dû organiser nos journées avec cette contrainte) Nous avons également diner 2 soir au Riad mais la encore repas servi a 22h30 (ca fait un peu tard quand il y a 4 enfants) avec un plat qui n'était pas celui commandé (grosse déception surtout quand sommes informé lorsque le plat est posé sur la table . Pour permettre aux enfants de se reposer nous avons passé une journée au riad mais entre le bruit et les odeurs de cuisine... impossible et vraiment pas agréable ! D'autant plus qu'aucune cuisine n'a été demandé par nous ce jour là. En résumé, si vous cherchez la tranquillité et un peu d'intimité, nous vous déconseillons cette location où nous avons l'impression de vivre chez l'habitant et à son rythme.

10/10

Nous avons passé 8 jours très agréables dans un quartier populaire de Marrakech. Ryad très bien équipé, très typique et très bien adapté pour une famille. Le seul petit bémol vient de la gestion des repas qui n’a pas été très transparente par rapport à l’argent versé et les repas servis. Par contre, les plats étaient de très bons et typiquement marocain.

10/10

Accueil chaleureux dans cette très belle maison. Mostapha a été de très bon conseil, toujours à notre écoute. Grâce à lui, nos déambulations dans Marrakech , notre journée dans la vallée de l'Ourika, et notre ballade dans la palmeraie à dos de dromadaire ont été enchanteresses. Notre séjour dans la maison fût inoubliable, grâce à Kadija. Sa gentillesse, sa bonne humeur, son humour, son amour des autres et sa cuisine merveilleuse nous ont permis de nous sentir chez nous et de partager en famille et avec elle des moments merveilleux. Merci encore à vous deux. Nous recommenderons très volontiers à nos amis et connaissances voulant venir à Marrakech, de séjourner dans ce riad.
