DAR DO bright Berber house with pool and garden

From 2 to 10 people, enjoy our villa in the village El Ghazoua, 8 km from the medina of Essaouira. By car, Dar Do is ideally located 10 minutes from the medina and the beach, 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from the beach of Sidi Kaouki and 5 minutes from one of the largest golf courses in Morocco.

We restored this authentic Berber house, taking care of every detail of its decoration while respecting the Moroccan tradition. The garden, the layout of each room, the pool (10m x 5m), contribute to the feeling of calm and well-being ideal for a delightful holiday.

Dar Do is a large house of 350 m2 on a plot of 1000 m2. It has 8 rooms including 5 bedrooms (each with closet and wardrobe); a bright and well equipped kitchen extended by a dining room with a fireplace; 3 bathrooms in tadelakt; a Moroccan double living room with fireplace; a large shaded terrace for meals; two interior open patios, one with fountain and Moroccan living room.
And before each House of rest areas are furnished to comfortably enjoy true tranquility.

Everything is organized to make the most of the temperate weather of Essaouira. The magnificent swimming pool and its sheltered terrace with deckchairs, armchairs and parasols, the hammock, the barbecue for grills, the garden and its paths, allow to live outside enjoying the beneficial shade of the beautiful trees.

Access to the pool is safe for very young children.

You can, if you wish, enjoy a stove and a full time housekeeper, only order breakfast with the flavors of Morocco, you delivered the delicious tagines and couscous prepared by Samira, who is also expert henna tattoos.

Said her husband, is our steward, and you can rest entirely on him for all matters relating to daily life in the house and stay. Saïd is also an excellent guide to discover Essaouira and its surroundings such as the Berber souk of Ida-Ougourt, Cape Sim, beach pebbles blue Sidi Kaouki and the beautiful medina of Essaouira.

Fabulous Villa
Dar Do is a lovely place to stay. We visited as a family of three adults and three children (8,10,13) staying for 14 days and there was plenty of room for us all. All the rooms are clean and spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the sitting room has a large TV with USB ports for your own downloaded films. The garden is lovely, complete with tortoises - we counted nine but they were well hidden at times! We all loved the superb pool and the shady sun beds. Communication with the hosts via email was very quick and easy. Communication with Said was tricky, due to our terrible French, but he BBQ'd for us and we managed to order and eat his wife's delicious tagines (chicken as well as vegetarian option). It would be useful to have a car, as recommended, as there is not much in the immediate area, but found we could easily order an inexpensive large taxi via Said to ferry us to the Carrefour supermarket, the town and the beaches. (Driver Abdul was helpful and spoke a little English). As it was peak-season August, the beaches and Medina were very crowded with Moroccan families. Having been to the Beldi Country Club in Marrakech a number of times, we had lunch in Villa Beldi, which was just down the road and a welcome oasis from the heat of the Medina .. and it was certainly hot, 42 degrees at one point, dropping little at night - even the wind was hot. All in all, a fabulous holiday and we hope to return one day.

My family and I had a fantastic holiday at Dar Do
After a few days in the sweltering heat of Marrakech, Dar Do provided a very welcome escape. We all loved the house, it was very spacious and had plenty of space for our party of 6. Everything we needed for our 10-day stay was provided and Said was on hand to help with any requests we had. The swimming pool was fantastic! I would thoroughly recommend it.

Amazing house- private and tranquil oasis
My partner and I visited Villa Dar Do the other week after a week of driving around Morocco taking in the various and amazing sights and endless landscapes. After continuous days of driving and adventure, Villa Dar Do was a much welcomed oasis of peace and rest. As there were only 2 of us, the space was more than adequate, but this would be perfect for a large group or family, and there are lots of various outdoor terraces and courtyards where you can get your privacy even with large numbers. I think this is the most beautifully decorated home we have visited on holiday (we have used Home Away/Owners Direct lots of times before), and it's clear this is a home rather than a holiday place. You might not spend much time indoors in Morocco, but so much care and love has been taken in the house, both inside and out, and it really was a lovely place to stay- a real home. The house is very well equipped, clean and comfortable- w/ modern TV with HDMI (a bonus for movie night), perculator and juicer aswell (Tip: oranges are cheap and grow in abundance, so take advantage of making your own fresh orange juice!) We spent most of our time in the garden, which is so well kept, and to my delight, resident tortoises! Said, the housekeeper, took such good care of use while we were there, showing us where the house is (down an easily accessible track, but easy to find), and also inviting us to see various local souks and checking everything was ok throughout our stay. If we needed anything it was good to know he was there. It was quite difficult to communicate for us, mainly because our French is terrible (sorry!) so some basic phrases would be useful for you throughout your trip to Morocco. We loved the house so much, we spent most of our time there by the pool, with the tortoises, eating our BBQs, but we made a day trip to Essaouira (10 mins drive away and great if you Kite Surf)- also lovely, and less intense than Marrakech. Would have like to spent a little longer there, as it was great for shopping. There is also, if needed, a Carrefour there, so you can buy your wine, beer and home comforts. The only tiny tiny negative thing I would say, and very very minor, is that the meeting point is quite vague for a tourist, and found a better meeting point at a petrol station (to be guided to the house)- big bold letters, much easier to see. Saying that, we never got lost and our stay was perfect! Thankyou so much for having us at your beautiful home! Jodie & James

Jour de l'An sous le soleil d'Essaouira, dans la superbe villa DAR DO
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans la très confortable villa DAR DO, à l'occasion des fêtes de fin d'année 2023. Saïd et Samira, qui nous a fait ses bons petits plats chaque jour, ont été aux petits soins. La disponibilité et la réactivité de Ghislaine et Bernard, ainsi que leurs bons conseils, que cela soit avant ou après notre réservation, ont facilité l'organisation de notre séjour. La villa est décorée avec soin, très propre et au calme, avec différents "coins" et patios où tous peuvent se retrouver ou s'isoler s'ils le souhaitent. Enfin, nous avons pu facilement - avec une voiture, rayonner dans cette très belle région marocaine sous un soleil de fin décembre très apprécié !

Einfach wunderbar!
Dieses Haus in der Nähe von Essaouira ist - unserer Meinung nach - kaum zu toppen. Einfach wunderbar! Gepflegt, sauber, luxuriös und v.a. liebvoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Hier steckt viel Herzblut drin. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war sehr freundlich, promt und verlässlich. Vor Ort kümmerte sicher Said, der Housekeeper, wirklich rührend um uns. Er schaute jeden Tag vorbei und war uns überall behilflich, wie z.B. Autoanmietung oder diverse Zusatzaktivitäten. Gerne nahmen wir auch die ausgezeichneteten Kochkünste (Abendessen oder auch Frühstück) der "Hausköchin" Samira in Anspruch (gegen kl. Aufpreis). Wirklich sehr lecker (marokkansich oder auf Wunsch auch international) und stets auch etwas für Kinder dabei. Französischkenntnisse sind allerdings von Vorteil. Die Kinder haben den riesigen - wenn auch frischen - Pool sehr genossen und schlossen beste Freundschaft mit den 10 Schildkröten. Essaouira ist mit dem Auto ca. 10 - 15 min entfernt und ein hübsches marokkansiches Städtchen. Ebenso ca. 10 - 15 min entfernt ein schöner Strand, welcher im August noch recht voll war, sich ab anfang September, sobald die marokkanischen Kinder wieder Schule hatten, wunderbar leerte. Die örtl. Temperaturen waren bei uns im August um die 25 Grad - also etwas frischer (und auch windiger als im südlicheren Agadir) - dafür gab es tolle Wellen. Alles in allem durften wir eine wunderbare Woche im Anschluss an unsere Rundreise erleben! Durchaus weiterzuempfehlen!
